WARDVILLE RSD WWT Wastewater Treatment Plant, Wardville, Oklahoma

WARDVILLE RSD WWT is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located on Prather Road in Wardville, Atoka County, Oklahoma. The plant serves a small population of 206 residents, reflecting the rural character of the area. It operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Clean Water Act, administered by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard level for small communities in the U.S. The average daily discharge volume is 26.50 units, and the designed capacity is also 26.50 units, indicating the plant is operating at full capacity. As a small facility, it is subject to EPA NPDES permit requirements that set effluent limits to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged to a local water body, likely a tributary of the Muddy Boggy Creek system, which flows into the Kiamichi River and eventually the Red River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides habitat for fish and wildlife. The plant's inland location reduces direct marine impact, but its discharge contributes to the overall health of the regional river basin.

The plant discharges into a local stream within the Muddy Boggy Creek watershed, which drains into the Kiamichi River and then the Red River. This river system supports a variety of fish species and provides important habitat in the region. The area is inland and not near coastal waters, so the primary environmental consideration is maintaining water quality in the freshwater streams to protect aquatic ecosystems and downstream uses.
