The plant's discharge enters a network of small streams feeding the Tippecanoe River, which flows through agricultural and forested areas before joining the Wabash River. The Wabash River is a major tributary of the Ohio River, contributing to the Mississippi River system. This watershed supports fish species such as smallmouth bass and walleye, and is an important corridor for migratory birds. The plant's effluent quality is critical to maintaining the ecological health of these downstream waters.
