Overview
LA CHAUSSEE D IVRY 2 is an advanced wastewater treatment plant in La Chaussée-d'Ivry, Centre-Val de Loire, France, serving 1,072 people with a designed capacity of 2,500 m³/day.
LA CHAUSSEE D IVRY 2 is a wastewater treatment facility located in La Chaussée-d'Ivry, a commune in the Eure-et-Loir department of the Centre-Val de Loire region, France. The plant serves a population of 1,072 and has a designed capacity of 2,500 cubic meters per day, with an actual discharge volume of 191.24 cubic meters per day, indicating it operates well below its capacity. 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 typically includes nutrient removal (nitrogen and phosphorus) and disinfection, ensuring high-quality effluent before discharge. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Seine River basin. The Seine flows through Paris and into the English Channel, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agricultural and industrial use downstream. The advanced treatment helps protect the ecological health of the receiving water bodies.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local watercourse, part of the Seine River basin, which flows through the Paris region and eventually reaches the English Channel. The Seine estuary and its associated wetlands are ecologically sensitive areas that support migratory fish species and diverse birdlife. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting downstream water quality and aquatic habitats.
