Overview
New Lebanon WWTP and Sewer System serves the village of New Lebanon, Ohio, treating wastewater for approximately 4,231 residents. The plant operates under U.S. EPA and Ohio EPA regulations for municipal wastewater treatment.
The New Lebanon WWTP and Sewer System is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in New Lebanon, Montgomery County, Ohio. It serves a population of about 4,231 residents, classifying it as a small to medium-sized agglomeration under U.S. regulatory frameworks. As a U.S. facility, the plant operates under the Clean Water Act and is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. For communities of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent limits for biochemical oxygen demand and total suspended solids. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that drain into the Great Miami River watershed, which flows into the Ohio River and ultimately the Mississippi River Basin. The receiving waters support aquatic life and are used for recreation and drinking water downstream, making proper treatment essential for protecting regional water quality.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the Great Miami River watershed, which flows into the Ohio River and then the Mississippi River. This basin supports diverse aquatic species and provides drinking water for downstream communities. The region's agricultural and urban runoff can contribute nutrient loads, making effective wastewater treatment important for preventing eutrophication and maintaining water quality in the river system.
