ETANG AeReS DE tINGWICK Wastewater Treatment Plant, Danville, Québec

ETANG AeReS DE tINGWICK is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located at 66 Rue Ferland in Danville, Québec, Canada. The plant serves a small population of 731 residents within the Les Sources regional county municipality, operating under the regulatory framework of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and Québec's provincial water quality standards. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is appropriate for its small scale. Under Canadian federal and provincial regulations, secondary treatment is the minimum standard for municipal wastewater to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The plant's discharge volume of 328.00 cubic meters per day reflects its capacity to handle the local community's wastewater load. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the St. Lawrence River via the Nicolet River system. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is part of the larger St. Lawrence River ecosystem, one of the most important waterways in North America. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality and ecological health.

The plant discharges into the Nicolet River watershed, which flows into Lac Saint-Pierre and then the St. Lawrence River. This area is ecologically significant as it supports diverse fish populations and migratory birds. The St. Lawrence River is a major freshwater resource and a critical habitat for species such as the Lake Sturgeon and American Eel.
