The Delaware River estuary supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor for migratory fish species.

The plant's treated effluent flows into tributaries of the Delaware River, which empties into the Delaware Bay and then the Atlantic Ocean. The Delaware River estuary is a critical habitat for fish, birds, and invertebrates, supporting commercial and recreational fisheries. The watershed faces challenges from urban runoff and nutrient pollution, making effective wastewater treatment essential for maintaining water quality and ecosystem health.
