SALVANO_FRM_DEP is a wastewater treatment plant located in Fermo, Italy, serving a population of approximately 25,208. The plant is situated in the Marche region, near the Adriatic coast, and plays a key role in managing municipal wastewater for the area. As a medium-sized agglomeration (between 10,000 and 100,000 people), the plant is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires secondary treatment as a minimum. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Adriatic Sea. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 50 km) underscores its importance in protecting coastal water quality and marine ecosystems from nutrient pollution.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local water system that flows to the Adriatic Sea, a semi-enclosed sea with limited water exchange, making it sensitive to nutrient inputs. The surrounding area includes agricultural and urban runoff, and the plant's treatment helps mitigate eutrophication risks in coastal waters. The Adriatic Sea supports diverse marine life and is an important fishing and tourism resource.
