The Koroszczyn wastewater treatment plant is located in the village of Koroszczyn, gmina Terespol, powiat bialski, województwo lubelskie, Poland. It serves a population of 2,103 and operates with secondary treatment, a standard for smaller agglomerations under Polish and EU regulations. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant removes organic matter and suspended solids, meeting the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations under 10,000 population equivalent. The designed capacity of 9,000 m³/day indicates the plant is sized for future growth, with current discharge at 299.86 m³/day. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Bug River, a major tributary of the Narew and Vistula rivers, flowing into the Baltic Sea. This connection highlights the plant's role in protecting the Bug River basin and the broader Baltic Sea ecosystem from nutrient pollution.
Environmental context
The Koroszczyn plant discharges into the Bug River basin, which flows through eastern Poland into the Narew River, then the Vistula, and finally the Baltic Sea. The Bug River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish. Secondary treatment helps reduce organic load and nutrients, mitigating eutrophication risks in the Baltic Sea.
