WO CO I D 2 WWTP - Woodson County, Kansas Wastewater Treatment Plant

WO CO I D 2 WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Woodson County, Kansas, United States. The plant serves a small population of 139 residents and operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, which governs wastewater discharges through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard level that removes biodegradable organic matter and suspended solids. Its designed capacity is 64.35 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 37.85 m³/day, indicating operational headroom. As a small facility in rural Kansas, it is subject to state-level permitting and oversight by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The treated effluent is discharged into local surface waters that drain into the Neosho River basin, part of the Arkansas River watershed. This region supports agricultural and aquatic ecosystems, and the plant's discharge contributes to maintaining water quality in downstream environments.

The plant discharges into tributaries of the Neosho River, which flows into the Arkansas River and eventually reaches the Mississippi River system. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is used for irrigation and recreation. Proper treatment is essential to protect downstream water quality and ecological health.
