Loganton Boro Auth STP - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Greene Township, Pennsylvania

Loganton Boro Auth STP is a wastewater treatment facility located in Greene Township, Clinton County, Pennsylvania. Serving a small population of 435 residents, the plant provides advanced treatment to ensure high-quality effluent before discharge. The facility is situated in a rural area of central Pennsylvania, contributing to local sanitation and water quality management. The plant operates with advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 204.41 cubic meters per day and a discharge volume of 189.27 cubic meters per day, it operates efficiently within its capacity. As a US facility, it is subject to the Clean Water Act and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting, which sets strict effluent limits to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into nearby streams that flow into the Susquehanna River basin, ultimately reaching the Chesapeake Bay. This makes the plant's advanced treatment particularly important for reducing nutrient loads that can cause eutrophication in the bay. The facility plays a key role in protecting local aquatic ecosystems and downstream water quality.

The plant discharges into small streams within the Susquehanna River watershed, which drains into the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay is a large estuary that suffers from nutrient pollution, making advanced treatment crucial for reducing nitrogen and phosphorus loads. The surrounding area includes forested and agricultural lands, and the plant helps protect sensitive aquatic habitats and migratory fish species.
