The plant discharges into the North Canadian River watershed, which flows through the Oklahoma Panhandle and into the Arkansas River system. This semi-arid region relies on surface water for irrigation and livestock, making effluent quality critical for local ecosystems. Downstream, the river supports diverse aquatic habitats before joining the Mississippi River and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico.
