BOUVAINCOURT SUR BRESLE SE Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bouvaincourt-sur-Bresle, France

BOUVAINCOURT SUR BRESLE SE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Bouvaincourt-sur-Bresle, a commune in the Somme department of Hauts-de-France, France. The plant serves a population of 2,450 and has a designed capacity of 3,800 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 437.08 m³/day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. This level of treatment is typically implemented to protect sensitive receiving waters or to meet stringent local environmental standards. The treated effluent is discharged into the Bresle River, which flows into the English Channel near Le Tréport. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 10 km) means its discharge can affect coastal water quality and marine ecosystems. Advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and other pollutants, supporting the ecological health of the river and the downstream marine environment.

The plant discharges into the Bresle River, a coastal river that flows into the English Channel. The river supports diverse aquatic life and is an important habitat for migratory fish species. The advanced treatment level helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting the river's ecological balance and the downstream marine environment from eutrophication and other impacts.
