Overview
ROANA_LOC_MAGNABOSCHI is a closed secondary treatment plant in Cesuna, Veneto, Italy. It served the local community before decommissioning.
ROANA_LOC_MAGNABOSCHI is a former wastewater treatment plant located in Cesuna, a frazione of Roana in the Veneto region of Italy. The plant was situated in the Valle area near the Ferrovia Rocchette-Asiago railway line. It provided secondary treatment for municipal wastewater before its closure. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant would have met the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for biological treatment of organic matter. The plant's closure may reflect consolidation of wastewater services in the region, with flows likely redirected to a larger facility. Italian wastewater plants serving agglomerations over 2,000 population equivalent are typically subject to national regulations implementing the directive. The plant is located in the Alpine foothills of the Vicenza province, within the Brenta river basin. Treated effluent would have discharged into local streams that feed the Brenta River, which flows south to the Adriatic Sea near Chioggia. The area is characterized by karst geology and sensitive aquatic habitats supporting diverse macroinvertebrate communities.
Environmental context
The plant is situated in the Brenta river basin, with local streams draining into the Brenta River before reaching the Adriatic Sea. The Alpine foothills environment supports sensitive aquatic ecosystems, including cold-water fish species and macroinvertebrate communities. The closure of this plant may reduce local discharge but could increase pressure on downstream receiving waters if flows are transferred.
