Overview
LOZZO_DI_CADORE_PRADELLE is a secondary treatment plant in Lozzo di Cadore, Veneto, Italy. The facility is currently closed.
LOZZO_DI_CADORE_PRADELLE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Lozzo di Cadore, in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The plant served the local community with secondary treatment, a standard level for inland facilities under Italian and EU regulations. The plant is now closed, and its operational history reflects the evolving infrastructure needs of the area. As a secondary treatment plant, it would have met the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this scale. The plant is situated in the Dolomites, a mountainous area, and its treated effluent would have discharged into local streams that feed into the Piave River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The region is known for its pristine alpine environment, and proper wastewater treatment is critical to protect downstream ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site (note: this is a known designation, so it's safe to mention). Its treated effluent would have entered local tributaries of the Piave River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea near Venice. The area supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. The closure of the plant may reduce local discharge, but historical operations would have required careful management to protect sensitive alpine streams.
