WWTPs<br />

There are two municipal WWTPs in this watershed with design capacities greater<br />

than 1 mgd: NKASD in International Falls and the Ely WWTP. Table 3.14b<br />

summarizes the design capacity and historic flows <strong>for</strong> the plants. These WWTPs<br />

discharged nearly 2 mgd in 2005. There are also several smaller WWTPs that<br />

discharge to surface waters with a combined design capacity of 3.3 mgd. This<br />

compares to a total WWTP capacity of 7.1 mgd <strong>for</strong> the watershed. Depending on the<br />

location of the industry it is possible that a smaller WWTP could provide an adequate<br />

reclaimed water supply.
