Woodstock T WWTP decentrsys - Town of Woodstock, New York Wastewater Treatment Plant

Woodstock T WWTP decentrsys is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in the Town of Woodstock, Ulster County, New York. The plant serves a population of approximately 800 residents and operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Clean Water Act, which governs discharges through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard level required for most municipal facilities under the Clean Water Act. With a designed capacity of 870.64 units and an average daily discharge volume of 234.70 units, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variability. The treated effluent is discharged into a local water body that ultimately drains into the Hudson River watershed. The Hudson River estuary supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological and recreational resource for the region. The plant's operations help protect downstream water quality in the Saw Kill and other tributaries feeding the Hudson.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Saw Kill, which flows into the Hudson River estuary. The Hudson River is a major tidal estuary that supports diverse fish species, including striped bass and American shad, and serves as a critical migratory corridor for Atlantic sturgeon. The watershed is ecologically sensitive due to its role in nutrient cycling and habitat provision for both resident and migratory species.
