Overview
CLAMECY_ville is an advanced wastewater treatment plant in Clamecy, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France. It serves approximately 4,872 people with a designed capacity of 6,000 m³/day.
CLAMECY_ville is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Clamecy, a commune in the Nièvre department of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France. The plant serves a population of about 4,872 and has a designed capacity of 6,000 m³/day, with an average discharge volume of 869.16 m³/day. It is situated along the Voie Verte du Canal du Nivernais, reflecting the region's canal and river network. As an advanced treatment facility, CLAMECY_ville goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, meeting stringent French and EU standards. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations of this size (under 10,000 population equivalent) are required to provide appropriate treatment, and advanced treatment is typical in sensitive areas to protect water quality. The plant discharges treated effluent into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Yonne River, a tributary of the Seine. This contributes to the protection of the Seine basin, supporting aquatic life and downstream ecosystems. The advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading, reducing the risk of eutrophication in the Seine and its estuary.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the local canal and river system, flowing into the Yonne River, which joins the Seine River. The Seine basin supports diverse aquatic habitats and is an important ecological corridor. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient pollution, protecting downstream water quality and the sensitive estuarine environment of the Seine estuary.
