Linden Roselle SA CS CSO_STP - Linden, New Jersey Wastewater Treatment Plant

Linden Roselle SA CS CSO_STP is a wastewater treatment facility serving the city of Linden, New Jersey, and surrounding areas. With a population served of 74,148, it falls into the medium-to-large agglomeration category under US regulatory frameworks. The plant is situated in Union County, near the Arthur Kill waterway, which connects to the greater New York Harbor estuary. As a US facility, the plant operates under the Clean Water Act and is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. For a plant of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required, and combined sewer overflow (CSO) controls are often implemented to manage wet-weather flows. The designed capacity of 1.00 million gallons per day indicates the plant's treatment capability. The plant's treated effluent discharges into the Arthur Kill, a tidal strait that separates Staten Island, New York, from New Jersey. The Arthur Kill flows into Raritan Bay and ultimately the Atlantic Ocean. This waterway supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish and birds. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 50 km) means its discharge can influence coastal water quality.
