CEPPALONI_IMPIANTO_LOCALITA_S_GIOVANNI is a wastewater treatment plant located in Apollosa, within the province of Benevento, Campania, Italy. The facility serves a small population of approximately 500 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small community setting. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. Its designed capacity is 700 m³/day, and current discharge volume is about 99 m³/day, indicating ample capacity headroom. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually flow into the Calore Irpino River, a tributary of the Volturno River, which drains into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The plant helps protect downstream water quality in this ecologically important basin.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Calore Irpino River basin, which feeds into the Volturno River, one of southern Italy's major rivers. The Volturno flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea near Castel Volturno. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is used for irrigation and recreation. Secondary treatment reduces organic load and nutrients, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
