16 Marine Drive Ext Wastewater Treatment Plant, St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador

16 Marine Drive Ext is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located on Marine Drive in St. Anthony, a town on the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The plant serves a small population of 463 residents and is classified as a secondary treatment facility, which is standard for communities of this size in Canada. The plant operates under Canada's Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations (WSER), which set national standards for effluent quality. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, ensuring compliance with federal guidelines. The plant's discharge volume is reported at 208 cubic meters per day. Treated effluent from the plant is released into the local marine environment, as St. Anthony is situated on the coast of the Labrador Sea. The area supports diverse marine life, including fish stocks and seabirds, and the plant's treatment helps protect these ecosystems from nutrient pollution and pathogens.

The plant discharges into the coastal waters of the Labrador Sea, which is part of the broader Atlantic Ocean ecosystem. This region supports important fisheries, including cod and shellfish, and serves as a habitat for marine mammals and seabirds. Proper wastewater treatment is essential to minimize nutrient loading and prevent eutrophication in these sensitive coastal waters.
