Abstract
In this study, the compliance of domestic wastewater discharges to the sea from the urban coastal settlements of Ordu Province with the criteria specified in the regulations was investigated. For this purpose, in 2018, samples were taken from the wastewater inlet and wastewater outlet at 8 different domestic wastewater treatment stations located in urban coastal settlements, twice a month, every month 2018. BOD5 (Biological Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), TP (Total Phosphorus), TN (Total Nitrogen), TSS (Suspended Solids), and pH analysis were performed in the wastewater samp-les. In the evaluation of the data obtained, the parameters and upper limit values are given in the Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulation and in the Water Pollution Control Regulation were taken as a basis. In the research, it was determined that they were able to function smoothly in Altınordu-Durugöl, Altınordu-Kumbaşı, Gülyalı, Ünye-Doğu and Ünye-Batı treatment stations. At the domestic wastewater treatment stations in Fatsa District, wastewater is discharged into the sea after physical pretreatment. It has been determined that there is no significant difference between the wastewater inlet and wastewater outlet parameter values at the treatment stations in this district. This shows that domestic wastewater is discharged into the sea without being treated sufficiently at the treatment stations in Fatsa District. In Persembe District, domestic wastewater is directly discharged into the receiving environment. As a result, wastewater treatment plants with the capacity and characteristics to meet the needs should be established and put into operation in the districts of Perşembe and Fatsa. In addition, it is beneficial to establish pre-treatment facilities in the indust-rial zones in order to prevent the wastewater from small and large industrial sites operating in the province of Ordu and Organized Industrial Zones from mixing with domestic wastewater. Domestic wastewater and stormwater networks operating in the adjacent system throughout the province of Ordu should be converted into separate network lines.
