Waterford T San_Comb Sewer and STP - Town of Waterford, New York Wastewater Treatment Plant

Waterford T San_Comb Sewer and STP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in the Town of Waterford, Saratoga County, New York. The plant serves a population of about 8,000 people, classifying it as a small to medium-sized facility within the state's wastewater infrastructure. As a US-based plant, it operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program, which is authorized by the Clean Water Act. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Hudson River via the Mohawk River. The Hudson River estuary supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor for migratory fish species. The plant's location inland reduces direct marine impact, but its discharge contributes to the overall water quality of the Hudson River basin.

The plant discharges into the Mohawk River, a tributary of the Hudson River, which flows south to New York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. The Hudson River estuary is a critical habitat for striped bass, American shad, and other migratory fish. The plant's operations affect local water quality in the Mohawk River, which supports recreational fishing and ecosystem health in the greater Hudson River watershed.
