Warren Co Dale Acres WWTP - Advanced Treatment Plant in Cozaddale, Ohio

Warren Co Dale Acres WWTP is a small municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Cozaddale, Warren County, Ohio. Serving a population of about 100, this facility provides advanced treatment to ensure high-quality effluent before discharge. The plant operates under the U.S. Clean Water Act, which requires National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for all wastewater discharges. For small advanced treatment plants like this, permits typically include stringent limits on pollutants such as BOD, TSS, and nutrients to protect receiving waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways within the Ohio River basin. The Ohio River ultimately flows into the Mississippi River and then to the Gulf of Mexico. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into tributaries of the Little Miami River, a National Scenic River that flows into the Ohio River. The Ohio River is a major source of drinking water and supports diverse aquatic life, including several endangered mussel species. The advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and protects the ecological health of these downstream waters.
