lagooning - water treatment
There is an excellent Kudoz entry on 'eco-lagunage', which I have noted with interest. However, I need to find an accurate and appropriate translation for the above term, which is obviously part of the lagooning process. I know that 'tamponnage' can mean 'buffering' and I wonder if that could be the intended meaning here... could it mean 'buffer lagoon' or 'lagoon buffer' below? See second point down. Thanks!
La conception du lagunage varie avec l’objectif visé qui peut être :
- d'assurer un abattement de la pollution microbienne (lagunage tertiaire),
- d’affiner/lisser la qualité de l'effluent traité au préalable ***(lagunage de tamponnage)***,
- de retarder l’évacuation des rejets (bassin de marée).

buffer lagooning
I'd opt for this.

I believe that they act as buffer zones rather than as specific basins for neutralizing acids. Any of the documents I have come across refer to buffering in this way.

buffer ponds
you can talk about the use of buffer ponds (they buffer the system) - "lagoons" are usually "ponds" in the case of water treatment.

whatever you call it
(buffer/holding lagoons/ponds) I think the danger is that people will understand it is intended to buffer/hold a quantity of effluent temporarily, then feed it back into a treatment process when the demand is lower.
This is certainly the case of the Gisborne "buffer pond" in NZ referred to in another answer and the "Mexicomissouri" "holding lagoon" below.
I don't understand why it is called "lagunage de tamponnage" in French, since "buffering" does not appear to be the purpose! However, since you have the description in your text (affiner/lisser la qualité), it hardly matters what the ruddy thing is called.
Large buffer storage to minimise land disposal area
In this scenario a large BUFFER POND pond would be built. This would be sized to even out flows across the whole year, with EFFLUENT ADDED TO STORAGE OVER WINTER when land application rates are low/not possible and THEN PROGRESSIVELY DRAWN DOWN OVER SUMMER. This would minimise the land area required for wastewater disposal.
It is likely that the buffer lagoon would need to be lined to prevent seepage to underlying aquifers.

The lagoon system consisted of three lagoons, in series (Newton, 1985; Newton and Haydon, 1985). The primary lagoon (12m x 46 m [39 ft x 151 ft]) discharged into a secondary lagoon (15 m x 31 m [49 ft x 102 ft]) from which the liquid was pumped back to the barns (3 horsepower [hp], 1800 mL [min.sup.-1] [4.7 gal [min.sup.-1]]) for flushing of wastes. This secondary lagoon was equipped with a 3 hp aerator. The secondary lagoon discharged into a HOLDING LAGOON (18 m x 37 m [59 ft x 121 ft]), which was used as the source of wastewater for the study. Liquid was pumped from the end of this HOLDING LAGOON opposite the infall to the site where tests were conducted.

Any flow over 3 million gallons per day (MGD) is diverted to the Infiltration Holding Lagoon to prevent overloading the Treatment Plant during wet weather.

I had what I thought was maybe a brilliant idea, that of calling it a "buffering lagoon", to suggest not that it acted as a buffer but that it was where the water was buffered (neutralized). To no avail, since this expression too is used to mean "temporary storage".

Because DPALs have a small area with significantly shorter retention times than oxidation ponds, their ability to provide BUFFERING for high inflows during wet weather is significantly less. If DPALs were to be used with irrigation disposal, an additional storage lagoon would be required for storage during wet weather.
