State Park Village WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Johnson County, Missouri, United States. The plant serves a small community of approximately 130 residents, providing essential sanitation services for the area. The facility operates with secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the U.S. Clean Water Act for most municipal plants. With a designed capacity of 75.71 thousand gallons per day and a current discharge volume of 60.57 thousand gallons per day, the plant operates within its capacity. The regulatory framework for such facilities involves National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, ensuring compliance with effluent limits. The treated wastewater is discharged into local streams that are part of the Missouri River watershed, eventually draining into the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. This contributes to the protection of downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports the overall health of the regional water basin.

The plant discharges into tributaries of the Missouri River, which flows into the Mississippi River and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. The secondary treatment process helps reduce organic pollutants and nutrients, mitigating impacts on downstream water quality and ecosystems.
