Municipalite de Saint Magloire Wastewater Treatment Plant, Saint-Magloire, Quebec

Municipalite de Saint Magloire is a wastewater treatment facility located at 158 Chemin Mailloux in Saint-Magloire, Quebec, Canada. The plant serves a small population of 406 residents in the Les Etchemins region of Chaudière-Appalaches. It operates under the regulatory framework of the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) and provincial Quebec environmental standards. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is appropriate for its small scale. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is released into the local watershed, which drains into the Chaudière River and eventually the St. Lawrence River. The St. Lawrence River is a major waterway that supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically significant for the region. The plant's operations help protect downstream water quality in this sensitive river system.

The plant discharges into the Chaudière River basin, which flows northward into the St. Lawrence River. The St. Lawrence River is a critical ecosystem supporting fish species such as Atlantic sturgeon and American eel, and serves as a migratory corridor for birds. The secondary treatment provided by the plant helps reduce nutrient and organic loads, protecting the downstream aquatic environment.
