Station d epuration Wastewater Treatment Plant, Notre-Dame-du-Bon-Conseil, Quebec

Station d epuration is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Notre-Dame-du-Bon-Conseil, a village in the Centre-du-Quebec region of Quebec, Canada. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,090 people and operates under provincial regulations for small communities. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by Canadian federal and provincial guidelines for communities of this size. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids before discharge. The plant's daily discharge volume is 948.80 cubic meters, reflecting the scale of the small agglomeration it serves. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the St. Lawrence River, one of Canada's most significant aquatic ecosystems. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality, including habitats for fish and other aquatic life in the St. Lawrence River basin.

The plant discharges into a local watercourse that flows into the St. Lawrence River, a major waterway supporting diverse aquatic species and migratory fish. The St. Lawrence River is ecologically sensitive, with wetlands and floodplains that provide critical habitat. Proper treatment helps maintain water quality in this important river system.
