Przysietnica Wastewater Treatment Plant - Closed Primary Facility in Podkarpackie

The Przysietnica wastewater treatment plant is located in the village of Przysietnica, within gmina Brzozów, powiat brzozowski, województwo podkarpackie, Poland. The facility is now closed and no longer in operation. During its operational period, it served the local community with primary treatment, which is the first stage of wastewater processing involving physical separation of solids. As a Polish wastewater facility, it would have operated under national regulations transposing the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For smaller agglomerations, primary treatment may have been acceptable if the receiving waters were not sensitive. The plant's designed capacity of 5286 m³/day suggests it was sized for a modest population. The plant's discharge would have entered a local watercourse in the San River basin, which flows northward into the Vistula River and eventually to the Baltic Sea. The region is characterized by hilly terrain and mixed agricultural-forest land use, with several small streams draining the area.

The plant's treated effluent would have discharged into a local tributary of the San River, part of the Vistula River basin that drains into the Baltic Sea. The San River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Carpathian foothills. The surrounding area includes mixed forests and agricultural land, with potential nutrient runoff concerns.
