The Newburgh C Sewers and WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located at 193 South Water Street in Newburgh, New York. Serving an estimated population of 43,219, the plant is part of the city's infrastructure for managing domestic and industrial wastewater in Orange County. As a facility in the United States, the plant operates under the Clean Water Act, which requires National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for all discharges. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the Hudson River, a major tidal estuary that flows south to New York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. The Hudson River supports diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish species, and is an ecologically significant waterway in the region.

The Newburgh C Sewers and WWTP discharges into the Hudson River, which flows approximately 315 miles from the Adirondack Mountains to New York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. The river is a critical habitat for fish such as striped bass and American shad, and its estuary supports a complex food web. The plant's discharge contributes to the nutrient and pollutant load in the river, making treatment quality important for downstream ecological health.
