CHAUMONT CHAMARANDES CHOIGNES is a wastewater treatment plant located in Chamarandes-Choignes, a commune in the Haute-Marne department of the Grand Est region, France. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,300 people and has a designed capacity of 6,000 m³ per day, with an average discharge volume of 588.71 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 in sensitive areas to reduce nutrient loads and protect receiving water bodies. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Seine River basin, contributing to the water quality management of the region. The advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports the ecological health of the Seine watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local hydrographic network within the Seine River basin, which flows through the Paris Basin and eventually into the English Channel. The advanced treatment reduces nutrient pollution, which is critical for preventing eutrophication in downstream rivers and coastal zones. The surrounding area includes agricultural landscapes and small watercourses that support diverse aquatic life.
