The plant is expected to meet China's national discharge standards, which require secondary or advanced treatment for facilities of this scale. China's Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law mandates that urban wastewater treatment plants achieve at least Class 1-A or 1-B discharge standards, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant's capacity and population served suggest it is a significant facility within the local network. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the South China Sea. The region's coastal environment supports diverse marine life and is important for fisheries and aquaculture. Proper treatment is essential to protect downstream ecosystems and maintain water quality in the coastal zone.
Environmental context
