Overview
San Pietro di Cadore Loc Mare is a closed secondary treatment plant in Valle, Veneto, Italy. It served the local community before ceasing operations.
San Pietro di Cadore Loc Mare is a former wastewater treatment plant located in Valle, a frazione of San Pietro di Cadore in the Veneto region of Italy. The plant provided secondary treatment for the local population in the mountainous Cadore area of the Dolomites. As a secondary treatment facility, it would have met the standards required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of its scale. The plant is now closed, and wastewater management in the area is handled by other facilities. The plant's receiving waters ultimately drain into the Piave River, which flows south through Veneto to the Adriatic Sea. The region is ecologically sensitive due to its Alpine setting and proximity to the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site, supporting diverse aquatic life and tourism.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent would have discharged into local streams feeding the Piave River, which flows through the Veneto region into the Adriatic Sea near Venice. The Piave basin supports important aquatic ecosystems and is a key water resource for agriculture and tourism in the area. The Dolomites region is known for its pristine waters and biodiversity, making wastewater treatment critical to preserving water quality.
