CEE CORCUBION Wastewater Treatment Plant, Cee, Galicia, Spain

CEE CORCUBION is a wastewater treatment plant located in Cee, within the province of A Coruña, Galicia, Spain. The plant serves a population equivalent of 10,826, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Spanish and EU regulations. Its coastal proximity places it in a sensitive environmental zone. As a Spanish facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. For plants in coastal areas, additional nutrient removal may be mandated to protect marine waters. The treated effluent likely discharges into the Atlantic Ocean via local streams or directly, given the plant's location near the Costa da Morte. This region supports diverse marine life and is important for fisheries and tourism. Proper treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect coastal ecosystems.

The plant is situated in the Costa da Morte region of Galicia, a rugged Atlantic coastline. Treated wastewater likely flows into the Atlantic Ocean, which supports rich marine biodiversity including shellfish banks and migratory fish. The area is ecologically sensitive due to upwelling currents that sustain productive fisheries. Protecting water quality is critical for both local livelihoods and the broader marine environment.
