Loggieville Lagoon Wastewater Treatment Plant, Miramichi, New Brunswick

Loggieville Lagoon is a wastewater treatment facility located in the City of Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada. The plant serves a small population of 457 residents and operates under secondary treatment standards, which is typical for smaller communities in the region. The plant employs a lagoon-based treatment process, a common and cost-effective method for small populations in rural Canada. With a daily discharge volume of 205.00 cubic meters, the facility meets the regulatory requirements set by Environment Canada and the New Brunswick Department of Environment and Local Government. The treated effluent is discharged into the Miramichi River system, which flows into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The Miramichi River is a vital ecosystem supporting Atlantic salmon and other aquatic species, making proper wastewater treatment essential for maintaining water quality and ecological health.

The plant discharges into the Miramichi River, a major waterway in New Brunswick that drains into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The river supports diverse aquatic life, including Atlantic salmon and brook trout, and is an important migratory corridor. The watershed is ecologically sensitive, and secondary treatment helps protect downstream habitats from nutrient pollution and pathogens.
