LOBELVILLE STP - Perry County, Tennessee Wastewater Treatment Plant

LOBELVILLE STP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Perry County, Tennessee, within the Middle Tennessee region. The plant serves a small community of approximately 963 residents, providing essential sanitation services to the area. The facility operates at the secondary treatment level, which is the standard required by the U.S. Clean Water Act for municipal plants of this scale. With a designed capacity of 427.75 and a discharge volume of 529.96, the plant manages wastewater flows typical for a small agglomeration. Treatment processes are regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program, administered by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. The treated effluent from LOBELVILLE STP is discharged into local streams that ultimately flow into the Tennessee River, a major tributary of the Ohio River and part of the Mississippi River system. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides drinking water for downstream communities. The plant's operation helps protect water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.

The plant discharges into local waterways that drain into the Tennessee River, which flows through the southeastern United States before joining the Ohio River. This watershed supports a variety of fish and wildlife, including several species of freshwater mussels and migratory birds. The secondary treatment process reduces organic pollutants and nutrients, helping to maintain the ecological health of the receiving waters.
