Ogdensburg C WWTP - Municipal Wastewater Treatment in Ogdensburg, New York

Ogdensburg C WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located at 85 Paterson Street in the Port of Ogdensburg, New York. The plant serves a population of about 14,047 people in the City of Ogdensburg, situated on the St. Lawrence River near the US-Canada border. As a US facility, the plant operates under the Clean Water Act and is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. For a population of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required, with possible additional nutrient removal depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant's treated effluent discharges into the St. Lawrence River, which flows northeast into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and ultimately the Atlantic Ocean. The St. Lawrence River is a major waterway supporting diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as walleye and bass, and serves as an important migratory corridor for waterfowl.

The plant discharges into the St. Lawrence River, a major river system that drains the Great Lakes and flows into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic Ocean. The river supports a diverse ecosystem, including fish populations and migratory birds. The area is ecologically sensitive due to its role in the Great Lakes basin and the potential for nutrient loading affecting downstream waters.
