Rodney Village II WWTP and Sewers - Gallipolis, Ohio Advanced Treatment Plant

Rodney Village II WWTP and Sewers is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Gallipolis, Gallia County, Ohio. Serving a small population of 200, the plant provides advanced treatment to protect local water quality. The facility is part of the broader wastewater infrastructure serving the Gallipolis area. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove additional pollutants such as nutrients. With a designed capacity of 90.85 units and a discharge volume matching that figure, the plant operates at full capacity. As a US facility, it is subject to the Clean Water Act and likely operates under an NPDES permit issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, which sets effluent limits to protect receiving waters. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into a local water body that ultimately drains into the Ohio River, a major tributary of the Mississippi River. The Ohio River supports diverse aquatic life and provides drinking water for millions. The plant's advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and other pollutants, contributing to the ecological health of the Ohio River basin.

The plant discharges into a local stream that flows into the Ohio River near Gallipolis. The Ohio River is a major waterway that drains into the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. The river supports a variety of fish species and is an important migratory corridor for birds. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient pollution, which can cause algal blooms and hypoxia in downstream waters.
