Abstract: Industrial development and urban sprawl, has led to the production of huge volumes of wastewater. Wastewater is harmful to human and has adverse effects on natural environment. With regard to importance of human health and protecting sources from pollution, this study was carried out to evaluate the wastewater stabilization pond performance, Olang treatment plant, Mashhad. The characteristic of inputting raw wastewater introduces the wastewater as a much polluted one. The ratio at input channel was 0.56. The average concentration of BOD5, COD and TSS in effluent was 75±30.67, 145±19.46 and 86±13.28 mg/L respectively in the first year and 83±14.0, 146±23.7and 109±14.7mg/L respectively in the second year. The treatment plant efficiency for these parameters was 79.7±10.7, 82.5±4.5and 77.1±3.9% for the first and 82.7±5.11, 82.82±3.82 and 78.46±3.93% for the second period. The effluent can be used for agriculture irrigation because its characteristics are accordance with the standards of Iranian Department of Environment.
