CAPOLUOGO_FRM_DEP is a wastewater treatment plant located in Fermignano, in the Pesaro e Urbino province of the Marche region, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 7,289 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. Its address along Via Metauro places it near the Metauro River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. As an Italian plant, CAPOLUOGO_FRM_DEP operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000 discharging into freshwater or estuaries. Italian regional authorities oversee compliance with national implementation of the directive. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into the Metauro River, a watercourse that flows eastward through the Marche region and enters the Adriatic Sea near Fano. The Metauro River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the region. The Adriatic Sea, as the final receiving water body, is a semi-enclosed sea with significant biodiversity and economic importance for fisheries and tourism.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Metauro River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The Metauro River basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The Adriatic Sea, as the ultimate receiving water body, is ecologically sensitive due to its semi-enclosed nature and high nutrient inputs from surrounding agricultural and urban areas.
