Environmental context
The plant discharges into a tributary of the Oder River, which flows through western Poland and into the Baltic Sea via the Szczecin Lagoon. The Oder basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish. The Baltic Sea is a semi-enclosed, brackish sea with limited water exchange, making it sensitive to nutrient pollution from wastewater discharges.
