Trumbull Co Newton Falls 2 WWTP - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Newton Township, Ohio

Trumbull Co Newton Falls 2 WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Newton Township, Trumbull County, Ohio, United States. The plant serves a small population of 177 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or suburban community within the Mahoning River watershed. The facility employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 45.42 units and a discharge volume of 45.43 units, the plant operates near full capacity. As a US facility, it operates under the Clean Water Act and is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, which set effluent limits to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into a local water body that ultimately drains into the Mahoning River, a tributary of the Beaver River, which flows into the Ohio River. This river system supports diverse aquatic life and provides drinking water for downstream communities. The plant's advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and protect the ecological health of the Mahoning River watershed.

The plant discharges into a local stream that flows into the Mahoning River, part of the Ohio River basin. The Mahoning River supports a variety of fish and macroinvertebrate species and is an important migratory corridor. Downstream, the Ohio River provides drinking water and habitat for numerous aquatic species. Advanced treatment at this plant helps minimize nutrient pollution and protects the ecological integrity of these waterways.
