PAGE KINCAID PSD PAGE WWTP - Fayette County, West Virginia Wastewater Treatment

PAGE KINCAID PSD PAGE WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Fayette County, West Virginia, serving a small population of 439 residents. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Clean Water Act, which requires secondary treatment as the minimum standard for municipal wastewater plants. The plant provides secondary treatment, a biological process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. With a designed capacity of 181.70 million gallons per year and an actual discharge volume of 64.35 million gallons per year, the plant operates well below its capacity. This suggests adequate infrastructure for current demand. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Kanawha River, a major tributary of the Ohio River. The plant's operations help protect the water quality of these rivers and the downstream aquatic ecosystems, supporting fish habitat and recreational uses.

The plant discharges into streams that flow into the Kanawha River, which joins the Ohio River and eventually the Mississippi River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species important for local ecology and recreation. The secondary treatment process reduces organic pollutants, helping maintain water quality in the downstream river system.
