Overview
Mignano Monte Lungo Depuratore Loc Caspoli is a secondary treatment plant serving 100 people in Campania, Italy. It discharges 19.80 m³/day of treated wastewater, operating under EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive standards.
Mignano Monte Lungo Depuratore Loc Caspoli is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Casale, Mignano Monte Lungo, in the province of Caserta, Campania, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 100 people, reflecting its role in a rural or small community setting within the Italian wastewater infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 200 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 19.80 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating it is appropriately sized for current demand. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Garigliano River and then into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The plant's location more than 10 km from the coast reduces direct marine impact, but its discharge contributes to the overall water quality of the regional river basin, supporting downstream ecosystems and agricultural uses.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Garigliano River basin, which flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea near the Gulf of Gaeta. This coastal area supports diverse marine life and is important for local fisheries. The secondary treatment process reduces organic pollutants and suspended solids, helping to protect the river's ecological health and the downstream marine environment from nutrient enrichment.
