Description

This document describes recommended effluent quality objectives for municipal wastewater in the Lakeland/Lac La Biche region. Effluent from the wastewater treatment plant has severely altered Field Lake, Red Deer Brook, and contributed to the deterioration of Lac La Biche. The existing technology-based effluent standards cannot satisfy the requirements to protect the Lac La Biche watershed. Thus, place-based effluent quality objectives were developed with key stakeholders to regulate the municipal effluent discharge to Field Lake and Lac La Biche. Recommended objectives are based on achieving the highest possible effluent quality, given current technology. The primary purpose of these objectives is to protect Field Lake and Lac La Biche.
