Station d'epuration de St Damase - Saint-Damase, Quebec Wastewater Treatment Plant

Station d'epuration de St Damase is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located at 5 Rue Principale in Saint-Damase, Quebec, Canada. The plant serves a population of 2,449 and is part of the region's wastewater infrastructure under the regulatory framework of the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) and provincial Quebec regulations. As a small agglomeration, the plant is expected to provide at least secondary treatment in accordance with Canada's Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations (WSER), which set national standards for effluent quality. The plant's operational status is confirmed, and it contributes to the protection of local water resources. The plant discharges treated effluent into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Richelieu River and then into the St. Lawrence River. This system supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Montérégie region.

The plant's treated effluent flows into the Richelieu River, a major tributary of the St. Lawrence River. The St. Lawrence River is a critical freshwater ecosystem supporting diverse fish species and migratory birds. The region's watershed is ecologically sensitive, and proper wastewater treatment helps maintain water quality for downstream communities and habitats.
