Hall Creek WWTP and Collection Sys - Meadowview, Virginia Wastewater Treatment

Hall Creek WWTP and Collection Sys is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Meadowview, Washington County, Virginia. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,400 residents and operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, which requires National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for all point source discharges. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard level for small to medium agglomerations in the United States. With a designed capacity of 3,596.13 megaliters and an annual discharge volume of 757.08 megaliters, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into a local waterway within the Tennessee River basin, which ultimately drains into the Ohio River and then the Mississippi River. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and supporting aquatic life in the region's freshwater ecosystems.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Tennessee River basin, which flows into the Ohio River and eventually the Mississippi River before reaching the Gulf of Mexico. This watershed supports diverse aquatic species and provides drinking water for downstream communities. The secondary treatment process helps reduce nutrient loads and organic pollutants, mitigating eutrophication risks in receiving waters.
