PIANDAIELLO_ZONA_NORD_CAM_DEP is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Camerino, in the Marche region of central Italy. The facility serves a population of approximately 4,714 people, reflecting its role in managing municipal wastewater for this inland community. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 7,500 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 933.21 m³/day, the plant operates well within its capacity. As an Italian facility, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates appropriate treatment levels based on population equivalents and receiving water sensitivity. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Potenza or Chienti river basins. The Marche region's rivers support diverse aquatic ecosystems and are important for agriculture and tourism. Advanced treatment helps protect these water bodies from eutrophication and other pollution impacts.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the inland watershed of the Marche region, with treated effluent flowing into local streams that feed the Potenza or Chienti rivers. These rivers flow eastward to the Adriatic Sea, a semi-enclosed basin sensitive to nutrient pollution. The surrounding area is characterized by hilly terrain and agricultural land, making nutrient removal from wastewater critical to prevent algal blooms and maintain water quality in downstream coastal zones.
