COV Albrechtice Stonava stabilizacni nadrz is a wastewater treatment plant located in Stonava, Moravskoslezský kraj, Czech Republic. The facility serves a small population of 131 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small community setting within the Karviná district. The plant provides primary treatment, which involves physical processes such as sedimentation to remove settleable solids. With a designed capacity of 210 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 33.58 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity. Under Czech regulations implementing the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, small agglomerations under 2,000 population equivalent are subject to appropriate treatment requirements, and primary treatment may be considered suitable depending on the receiving water body sensitivity. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Odra River basin, which flows northward into the Baltic Sea. The plant's location inland, away from coastal areas, reduces direct marine impact, but the receiving waters support local aquatic ecosystems and contribute to the broader river network.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Odra River basin, which flows through the Czech Republic, Poland, and into the Baltic Sea. The Odra basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. The region's industrial and mining history in Moravskoslezský kraj has historically impacted water quality, making effective treatment crucial for protecting downstream habitats.
