The Jaroslawiec wastewater treatment plant is located in Gleźnówko, within the gmina Darłowo, powiat sławieński, województwo zachodniopomorskie, Poland. It serves a population of 6,507 and is situated near the Baltic Sea coast, making it a coastal facility. The plant operates under Polish regulations, which transpose the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), requiring advanced treatment for sensitive areas. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring high-quality effluent. It has a designed capacity of 22,000 m³/day and currently discharges 927.80 m³/day of treated wastewater. The plant's capacity utilization is low, indicating ample reserve for future growth. As a coastal plant, it likely discharges into the Baltic Sea, a sensitive marine environment. The treated effluent from Jaroslawiec ultimately reaches the Baltic Sea, a semi-enclosed sea with limited water exchange, making it vulnerable to nutrient pollution. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect coastal waters and supports the ecological health of the region, including local beaches and marine habitats.
Environmental context
The Jaroslawiec plant discharges treated wastewater into the Baltic Sea, a brackish inland sea connected to the North Sea via the Danish straits. The Baltic Sea is ecologically sensitive due to its limited water exchange and susceptibility to eutrophication from nutrient inputs. The plant's advanced treatment reduces nitrogen and phosphorus loads, helping to mitigate algal blooms and preserve marine biodiversity along the Polish coast.
