Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Parsęta River basin, which flows northward into the Baltic Sea. This coastal region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. The secondary treatment helps reduce organic load and nutrients, mitigating eutrophication risks in the Baltic Sea, a semi-enclosed sea sensitive to nutrient pollution.
