San Nicola Manfredi Depuratore Loc Monterocchetta is a wastewater treatment facility located in Monterocchetta, a locality within the municipality of San Nicola Manfredi in the province of Benevento, Campania, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 300 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small community setting. The plant provides primary treatment, which involves physical processes such as sedimentation to remove settleable solids. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) of less than 2,000 are subject to less stringent requirements, and primary treatment may be considered appropriate for this scale. The designed capacity is 300 m³/day, and the actual discharge volume is 59.39 m³/day. The treated effluent is discharged into the local environment, ultimately contributing to the drainage basin of the Calore Irpino River, which flows into the Volturno River and then into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The plant's operation helps protect local water quality and supports the ecological health of the downstream river system.
