Overview
COV Bor Kurojedy is a closed secondary treatment plant in Bor, Plzeňský kraj, Czech Republic. It served the local area before ceasing operations.
COV Bor Kurojedy is a former wastewater treatment plant located in the Kurojedy district of Bor, a town in the Plzeňský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant provided secondary treatment for municipal wastewater, serving the local community before its closure. As a secondary treatment facility, COV Bor Kurojedy would have met the standards required under Czech national regulations, which align with the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations of this scale, secondary treatment is the minimum requirement, ensuring organic matter and suspended solids are reduced before discharge. The plant's treated effluent would have been discharged into a local watercourse, ultimately contributing to the Berounka River basin, which flows into the Vltava and then the Elbe River, reaching the North Sea. The closure of this plant means wastewater from the area is now likely handled by another facility in the region.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge would have entered a small stream in the Berounka River basin, which flows through the Plzeňský kraj region. This basin supports diverse aquatic life and is part of the larger Elbe catchment, which drains into the North Sea. The area is characterized by agricultural and forested landscapes, with water quality sensitive to nutrient inputs from wastewater.
