Hughesville Wolf Twp STP - Secondary Wastewater Treatment in Wolf Township, Pennsylvania

Hughesville Wolf Twp STP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located on Woolen Mill Road in Wolf Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,647 residents in the Hughesville area, operating as part of the region's wastewater infrastructure. The facility provides secondary treatment, a standard level required under the U.S. Clean Water Act for municipal plants of this scale. With a designed capacity of 1,324.89 thousand gallons per day and an average daily discharge of 946.35 thousand gallons, the plant operates within its capacity to manage local wastewater flows. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into nearby streams that drain into the West Branch Susquehanna River, a major tributary of the Susquehanna River. This river system ultimately flows into the Chesapeake Bay, making the plant's performance important for downstream water quality and the health of the bay's ecosystem.

The plant discharges into local waterways that feed the West Branch Susquehanna River, which flows into the Susquehanna River and eventually the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay is a large estuary that supports diverse aquatic life, including fish, crabs, and migratory birds. Nutrient and pollutant loads from wastewater plants in the basin are a key concern for bay restoration efforts.
