Lagoon Facultative is a wastewater treatment plant located in Unorganized Division No. 23, Manitoba, Canada. It serves a small population of 440 residents and operates as a secondary treatment facility, typical for rural communities in the region. The plant uses a lagoon-based facultative treatment process, which relies on natural biological activity to treat wastewater. With a daily discharge volume of 210.40 cubic meters, it meets the secondary treatment standards required under Canadian provincial regulations for small agglomerations. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Nelson River system and then into Hudson Bay. The plant's coastal proximity (within 10 km of the coast) means its discharge can directly affect sensitive marine ecosystems in the Hudson Bay region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Nelson River basin, which flows into Hudson Bay, a large inland sea with significant ecological importance. The bay supports diverse aquatic life, including beluga whales, seals, and migratory birds. The plant's coastal location means its effluent can directly impact these sensitive marine habitats, making proper treatment essential for protecting downstream ecosystems.
