Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local catchment of the Bug River, which flows through eastern Poland and into the Narew and Vistula rivers before reaching the Baltic Sea. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor for migratory fish and bird species. The region's agricultural land use means the plant helps reduce nutrient loading into sensitive surface waters.
