North Bend State Park
A compact, low-maintenance treatment solution capable of meeting TL-3 effluent standards under variable loading, with minimal operator involvement.
Owner: West Virginia Department of Natural Resources
Location: North Bend State Park, WV
Capacity: 20,000 GPD
System Commissioned: November 2025
Project Requirement
A compact, low-maintenance treatment solution capable of meeting TL-3 effluent standards under variable loading, with minimal operator involvement.
Solution
A fixed-film RBC system combined with:

Technical Approach
Attached-growth biological treatment (RBC).
Passive aeration (no blowers).
Tertiary polishing for enhanced effluent quality.
Remote monitoring for operational control.
✅ The addition of tertiary filtration allows the system to consistently achieve higher effluent quality compared to standard secondary treatment alone.
