Overview
AUBEVOYE wastewater treatment plant serves Le Val d'Hazey in Normandy, France. It handles a population of approximately 20,502 and operates under EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive standards.
The AUBEVOYE wastewater treatment plant is located in Le Val d'Hazey, a commune in the Eure department of Normandy, France. Serving a population of around 20,502, the plant is part of the region's municipal wastewater infrastructure, which manages effluent from residential and industrial sources in the area. As a facility in France, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size (10,000-150,000 population equivalent). The directive also requires more advanced treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant is expected to comply with these regulatory standards. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Seine River basin. The Seine flows through Normandy and into the English Channel, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for agriculture and industry. The plant's operations help protect downstream water quality and the ecological health of the Seine estuary.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the Seine River basin, which flows through Normandy and discharges into the English Channel. The Seine estuary is a critical habitat for migratory fish species such as salmon and eels, and supports rich birdlife. The plant's compliance with EU directives helps mitigate nutrient pollution and protect these downstream ecosystems.
