Overview
Notaresco Zona Industriale is a secondary treatment plant serving 2,000 people in Pianura Vomano, Abruzzo, Italy. It discharges 395.93 cubic meters of treated wastewater daily, with a designed capacity of 9,000 cubic meters.
Notaresco Zona Industriale is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Pianura Vomano area of Notaresco, in the Teramo province of Abruzzo, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,000 people and is situated in an industrial zone near the Vomano River plain. 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 9,000 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of 395.93 cubic meters per day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Adriatic Sea. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 10 km) means its discharge can influence coastal water quality. The Vomano River basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Abruzzo region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Vomano River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea near the town of Roseto degli Abruzzi. The downstream environment includes coastal wetlands and sandy beaches that support migratory birds and marine biodiversity. The area is ecologically sensitive due to its proximity to the sea, and the plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in the Adriatic.
