Overview
S_ANGELO_DEI_LOMBARDI_IMPIANTO_LOCALITA_SELVATICO is a secondary wastewater treatment plant serving Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, Campania, Italy. It treats wastewater for approximately 1,000 people with a design capacity of 1,000 cubic meters per day.
S_ANGELO_DEI_LOMBARDI_IMPIANTO_LOCALITA_SELVATICO is a wastewater treatment facility located in Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, a town in the province of Avellino, Campania, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,000 residents, reflecting its role as a small-scale municipal treatment facility in the Apennine inland region. 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. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, ensuring the effluent meets quality standards before discharge. The plant's design capacity is 1,000 cubic meters per day, and it currently discharges an average of 197.96 cubic meters per day. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Ofanto River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The plant's operation helps protect the local watershed and downstream ecosystems from untreated sewage, supporting water quality in the Campania region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Ofanto River basin, which flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea. The Ofanto River is the longest river in Apulia and supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as barbel and chub. The watershed is ecologically sensitive due to agricultural runoff and seasonal variations in flow, making the plant's secondary treatment essential for maintaining water quality in the river and its receiving coastal waters.
