The Miroslawiec wastewater treatment plant is located in Gostomia, within the zachodniopomorskie province of Poland. It serves a population of 5,190, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Polish and EU regulations. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant meets the minimum requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The plant has a designed capacity of 8,333 m³/day and currently treats 740 m³/day, indicating significant reserve capacity. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Baltic Sea. Its inland location away from the coast reduces direct marine impact, but the receiving water body supports regional aquatic ecosystems and agricultural water use.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a local watercourse that flows through the Pomeranian region, eventually reaching the Baltic Sea via the Oder River basin. The Baltic Sea is a semi-enclosed brackish sea sensitive to nutrient pollution, making effective nutrient removal at inland plants important for downstream marine health. The surrounding area includes agricultural land and small water bodies that rely on good water quality.
