SAN JORGE URB GOLF PANORAMICA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Sant Jordi, Spain

SAN JORGE URB GOLF PANORAMICA is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Urbanització Panoràmica area of Sant Jordi (San Jorge), in the Baix Maestrat comarca of Castellón, Comunitat Valenciana, Spain. The plant serves a population of 1,653 and has a designed capacity of 12,320 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 127.55 m³/day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. As a small agglomeration (under 2,000 population equivalent), the plant is subject to appropriate treatment standards under Spanish transposition of the directive, ensuring high-quality effluent. The plant is situated less than 10 km from the Mediterranean coast, and its treated effluent likely discharges into local watercourses that flow into the Mediterranean Sea. This coastal proximity necessitates careful management to protect marine water quality and sensitive coastal ecosystems, including seagrass meadows and marine habitats in the region.

The plant is located in the Baix Maestrat region, part of the Comunitat Valenciana, with treated effluent ultimately reaching the Mediterranean Sea. The area supports diverse marine life and is ecologically sensitive due to coastal tourism and fisheries. Advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and protect downstream coastal water quality.
