Hogansville WPCP Wastewater Treatment Plant, Harrisonville, Georgia

Hogansville WPCP is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located at 4637 Youngs Mill Road in Harrisonville, Georgia, within Troup County. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,350 residents, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category for US facilities. As a US-based plant, Hogansville WPCP operates under the Clean Water Act and is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting, typically administered by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Chattahoochee River basin, which flows through Georgia and Alabama before reaching the Gulf of Mexico. The receiving waters support diverse aquatic life and are part of the larger Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint river system, an ecologically significant watershed.

The plant's discharge enters tributaries of the Chattahoochee River, which flows southwest through Georgia and Alabama, eventually joining the Flint River to form the Apalachicola River. This river system empties into Apalachicola Bay in the Gulf of Mexico, a productive estuary that supports diverse fish and shellfish populations. The watershed is ecologically sensitive, providing habitat for numerous aquatic species and serving as an important migratory corridor for birds.
