Damp_Revkuhl Wastewater Treatment Plant - Damp, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Damp_Revkuhl is a former wastewater treatment plant located in the coastal town of Damp, in the Schleswig-Holstein region of Germany. The plant served a small population of approximately 1,484 residents and operated as a secondary treatment facility before its closure. As a secondary treatment plant, it provided biological treatment to remove organic matter and suspended solids, meeting the standards required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The plant had a designed capacity of 4,992 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 375.56 cubic meters per day. The plant discharged treated wastewater into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Baltic Sea. The coastal location and proximity to the Schlei estuary and the Eckernförde Bay make the area ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse marine life and important migratory bird populations.

The plant's discharge entered the local drainage network leading to the Baltic Sea, specifically the Schlei-Ostsee region. This coastal area supports diverse aquatic life, including fish spawning grounds and migratory bird habitats. The Baltic Sea is a brackish water body with limited water exchange, making it sensitive to nutrient inputs from wastewater.
