LOGAN WWTP - Phillips County, Kansas Wastewater Treatment Plant

LOGAN WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Phillips County, Kansas, United States. It serves a small community of 603 residents, providing essential sanitation services in this rural area of the Great Plains. The plant operates with secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the US Clean Water Act for municipal wastewater facilities. With a designed capacity of 253.62 volume units and a discharge volume of 227.13, the plant operates efficiently within its capacity. As a US facility, it is regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program, which sets effluent limits to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into local streams that ultimately drain into the Kansas River basin and then the Missouri River system. This plant plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and maintaining the ecological health of the region's water resources.

The plant discharges into local waterways that are part of the Kansas River watershed, which flows into the Missouri River and eventually the Mississippi River. This inland location supports diverse aquatic life and provides important habitat for fish and migratory birds. The secondary treatment process helps reduce nutrient loads and organic pollutants, protecting downstream water quality in this agriculturally intensive region.
