SAN VICENTE DO MAR O GROVE Wastewater Treatment Plant, A Lanzada, Galicia

SAN VICENTE DO MAR O GROVE is a wastewater treatment plant located in A Lanzada, within the municipality of O Grove, in the province of Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain. The plant served a population of 2,156 and had a designed capacity of 1.00 volume unit, though it is now closed. As a former plant in Spain, it would have operated under the national transposition of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's closure may reflect upgrades or consolidation in the region's wastewater infrastructure. The plant is situated near the coast of the Ría de Arousa, a large estuary in Galicia. The surrounding waters support diverse marine life and are important for local fisheries and aquaculture. The plant's closure likely aimed to reduce any potential environmental impact on this sensitive coastal ecosystem.

The plant is located within 50 km of the coast, near the Ría de Arousa, a large estuary on the Atlantic coast of Galicia. This estuary is ecologically significant, supporting diverse marine life, including shellfish beds and migratory bird populations. The waters ultimately drain into the Atlantic Ocean. The plant's closure likely contributed to improved water quality in the surrounding coastal environment.
