I live in Kings Park & I am familar with the plant you are talking about. It is my understanding that this plant is no longer in service & hasn't been for serveral years. Let's say 10 years as I've liveed there for the last 15 or so & it has not been in operation at that time. There is no discharge into the river. The pipe is still there but not used.

The treatment plant serviced the hospital in it's hay day & did discharge into the river during that time - badly polluting it. Today most of the grounds are empty of people & the few remaining patients (under 50) are now housed in two buildings off of 25A

I do a little checking & some inquiries (also a member of the KP Civic Association - so that may be directed that way as well). Again - only have seen a single pipe going into the river. I've surf casted alongside of it many times across many years & it's dry. So unless there are other pipes (which would have to be burried - I've surf cast the whole lenght of the river & not seen any) I'm not sure where/if the treated waste discharges.
Will find out:
* where they discharge - may come out the way it goes in - by truck
* how active

I know the hospital used to use it - it did dump into the river & the river was closed to fishing & shell fishing for awhile due to pollution. They still ban shellfishing.
