Station d epuration eaux usees - Beaumont, Quebec Wastewater Treatment Plant

Station d epuration eaux usees is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Beaumont, Quebec, Canada, along the St. Lawrence River. The plant serves a small community of 668 residents in the Chaudière-Appalaches region. As a secondary treatment plant, it meets the minimum standards required under Canadian federal and provincial regulations for wastewater treatment. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, ensuring the effluent meets environmental quality guidelines before discharge. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the St. Lawrence River, a major waterway that flows into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and ultimately the Atlantic Ocean. The St. Lawrence River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor for migratory fish and birds.

The plant discharges into the St. Lawrence River, which flows northeast through Quebec to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, a large estuary connected to the Atlantic Ocean. The river supports a variety of fish species, including Atlantic sturgeon and American eel, and provides critical habitat for migratory waterfowl. The plant's coastal location within 10 km of the river's shoreline means its discharge can directly affect local water quality and the sensitive estuarine environment.
