Traitement des eaux usee Saint Simon - Saint-Simon, Quebec Wastewater Treatment Plant

Traitement des eaux usee Saint Simon is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located at 55 Rue des Loisirs in Saint-Simon, Quebec, Canada. The plant serves a small population of 318 residents in the rural community of Saint-Simon-de-Bagot, within the Les Maskoutains Regional County Municipality of Montérégie. As a secondary treatment plant, it provides biological treatment to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, meeting the typical requirements for small Canadian communities. The plant operates under Quebec's environmental regulations, which align with the federal Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations (WSER) under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Yamaska River basin, which flows into Lake Saint-Pierre, a widening of the St. Lawrence River. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is part of the St. Lawrence River ecosystem, which is ecologically significant for fish migration and waterfowl habitat.

The plant discharges into the Yamaska River watershed, which flows into Lake Saint-Pierre on the St. Lawrence River. Lake Saint-Pierre is a major freshwater ecosystem that supports diverse fish species and serves as an important migratory stopover for waterfowl. The St. Lawrence River ultimately drains into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Atlantic Ocean.
