SCARCLIFFE STW - Closed Wastewater Treatment Plant in Bolsover, Derbyshire

SCARCLIFFE STW is a former wastewater treatment plant located on Station Road in Scarcliffe, near Bolsover, Derbyshire, in the East Midlands of England. The plant was designed to serve the local population with a capacity of 3,000 cubic meters per day, operating under the UK's regulatory framework for wastewater treatment. The plant provided secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the UK Urban Waste Water Treatment Regulations for inland discharges. As a closed facility, it is no longer operational, but its historical role was to treat wastewater from the Scarcliffe and Bolsover areas before discharge into the local water environment. The treated effluent from SCARCLIFFE STW would have been discharged into a local watercourse, likely a tributary of the River Rother or the River Doe Lea, which flow into the River Trent. The River Trent ultimately drains into the Humber Estuary and the North Sea. The plant's operation helped protect the water quality of these downstream water bodies.

SCARCLIFFE STW discharged into a local watercourse in the East Midlands, part of the River Trent catchment. The Trent flows into the Humber Estuary, a major ecological site supporting diverse aquatic life and migratory fish. Secondary treatment ensured compliance with UK standards to protect downstream water quality in this important river basin.
