Overview
The 2550232002 KA Neuhaus wastewater treatment plant in Holzminden, Niedersachsen, Germany, is a closed facility that previously served 1,044 people with advanced treatment. It had a designed capacity of 5,000 m³/day and discharged 264.21 m³/day.
The 2550232002 KA Neuhaus wastewater treatment plant is located in Holzminden, a town in the district of Holzminden, Niedersachsen, Germany. The facility served a population of 1,044 and is now closed. It was designed with an advanced treatment level, reflecting the high standards of wastewater treatment in Germany. As a German plant, it operated under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates advanced treatment for sensitive areas. The plant had a designed capacity of 5,000 m³/day and a discharge volume of 264.21 m³/day, indicating it operated well below capacity. The advanced treatment level suggests nutrient removal capabilities. The plant's discharge likely entered a local watercourse within the Weser river basin, which flows northward to the North Sea. The Weser basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge would have entered a tributary of the Weser River, which flows through Niedersachsen and into the North Sea. The Weser basin is ecologically significant, supporting fish species such as salmon and sea trout, and providing habitat for migratory birds. The advanced treatment level would have helped protect water quality in this sensitive river system.
