This coastal discharge requires compliance with Italian and EU standards to protect marine ecosystems and bathing waters in the region.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Ogliastra region of Sardinia, near the Tyrrhenian Sea. Local watercourses drain from the mountainous interior to the coast, supporting Mediterranean scrubland and coastal habitats.
