Mignano Monte Lungo Depuratore Loc Campo Di Ferro is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Mignano Monte Lungo, a town in the province of Caserta, Campania, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 200 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small community setting. It operates under Italy's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant provides secondary treatment, which typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. Its designed capacity is 250 m³/day, and it currently treats an average daily flow of 39.59 m³, indicating significant spare capacity. As a small-scale facility, it is subject to national regulations that align with EU standards for smaller communities. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Tyrrhenian Sea via the Volturno River basin. The plant's operation helps protect the region's water quality and supports the ecological health of downstream environments, including agricultural areas and coastal zones. Its location inland, more than 10 km from the coast, reduces direct marine impact.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Volturno River basin, which flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea near the Gulf of Gaeta. The downstream environment includes agricultural lands and sensitive coastal ecosystems. The Volturno River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for the region. Proper treatment at this plant helps prevent nutrient pollution and maintains water quality in the river and ultimately the sea.
