SEICHES SUR LE LOIR Chemin du cimetiere Wastewater Treatment Plant, Corzé, Pays de la Loire

SEICHES SUR LE LOIR Chemin du cimetiere is a wastewater treatment plant located in Corzé, within the Pays de la Loire region of France. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,733 people and has a designed capacity of 3,000 cubic meters per day, with a current discharge volume of 309.16 cubic meters per 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 the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Loire River, one of France's major rivers. The Loire River supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The advanced treatment helps minimize environmental impact on this ecologically significant river system.

The plant discharges into the Loire River basin, which flows westward through the Pays de la Loire region and empties into the Atlantic Ocean near Saint-Nazaire. The Loire River is known for its rich biodiversity, including migratory fish such as Atlantic salmon and European eel. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient pollution, protecting downstream aquatic habitats and supporting the ecological health of the Loire estuary.
