Montgomery V Sewers and WWTP - Village of Montgomery, New York Wastewater Treatment Plant

Montgomery V Sewers and WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in the Village of Montgomery, Orange County, New York. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,350 residents, providing essential sanitation services to this small community in the Hudson Valley region. As a facility in the United States, the plant operates under the Clean Water Act and is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting requirements. For a plant serving fewer than 10,000 people, secondary treatment is typically required, with effluent limits set by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local surface waters that ultimately flow into the Wallkill River, a tributary of the Rondout Creek, which joins the Hudson River. The Hudson River estuary supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species such as American shad and Atlantic sturgeon.

The plant discharges into the Wallkill River watershed, which drains into Rondout Creek and then the Hudson River estuary. The Hudson River is a major tidal estuary that supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including striped bass, blue crabs, and migratory waterfowl. The region's water quality is influenced by both point sources like this plant and non-point sources from agricultural and urban runoff.
