Wayne Co Eastwood Subdivision WWTP - Advanced Treatment in Wayne County, Ohio

Wayne Co Eastwood Subdivision WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located at 105 Partridge Street in Wayne County, Ohio, United States. The facility serves a small population of 282 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or suburban subdivision setting within the county. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of pollutant removal before discharge. With a designed capacity of 227.12 units and an actual discharge volume of 113.56 units, the plant operates below its maximum capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variability. As a US facility, it is subject to the Clean Water Act and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting, which sets effluent limits to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into a local water body, ultimately draining into the Ohio River watershed and then the Mississippi River system. This contributes to the ecological health of downstream aquatic habitats, supporting diverse fish and macroinvertebrate communities in the region.

The plant's discharge enters a tributary of the Ohio River basin, which flows into the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. The local watershed supports mixed-use agriculture and residential areas, with streams providing habitat for species such as smallmouth bass and freshwater mussels. Advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading, reducing the risk of algal blooms in downstream waters.
