SAN NICOLA MANFREDI DEPURATORE IANNASSI is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Montorsi Valle area of Sant'Angelo a Cupolo, in the province of Benevento, Campania, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 700 residents and is situated along Strada provinciale 12, near the SS 88 highway. It operates as a primary treatment facility, handling a daily wastewater volume of 138.58 cubic meters with a designed capacity of 700 cubic meters per day. As a primary treatment plant, it provides basic physical sedimentation and removal of solids. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) of less than 2,000 are generally required to provide appropriate treatment, which can include primary treatment. The plant's scale and treatment level align with the requirements for small communities in Italy, where regional authorities oversee compliance with national regulations implementing the directive. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Calore Irpino River and then into the Volturno River, one of the major rivers in southern Italy. The Volturno flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea near Castel Volturno. The plant plays a role in protecting the water quality of this river basin, supporting aquatic life and downstream ecosystems in the Campania region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Calore Irpino River basin, a tributary of the Volturno River, which flows through the Campania region into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Volturno River supports diverse aquatic habitats and is important for regional biodiversity. The watershed is influenced by agricultural and urban activities, making effective wastewater treatment essential for maintaining water quality and ecological balance.
