A pollution will worsen, especially in light of the recent Services Conference, held December 14 last year, during which the presence of Basilicata and ARPAB was decided on an extension of 45 days for approval of the Document risk analysis, " causa assenza dell’Azienda Sanitaria Locale di Venosa e dell’amministrazione provinciale in rappresentanza del Consorzio di sviluppo industriale. Di fatto, si allontanano ulteriormente le procedure del piano di caratterizzazione e la conseguente bonifica del sito inquinato, mentre metalli pesanti, trielina e altre sostanze cancerogene non scompaiono.
Danni, profitti ed omissioni
L’inceneritore EDF-Fenice spa è uno dei più grandi d’Europa per smaltimento di rifiuti industriali che assorbe la quasi totalità di scorie prodotte dal settore automobilistico italiano. Una costola dello stabilimento Fiat Sata su 85.700 metri quadrati di terreno, 110 miliardi di vecchie lire come investimento iniziale - Of which 60.5 billion soft loan and a request for state contribution amounted to 19.8 billion - and 30,000 tons per year of treated solid urban waste and 35,000 tonnes of industrial waste per year declared. An identity card built in the nineties between exemptions, appeals to the Administrative Court and the Council of State, to the pollution of today, whose plots have been summarized well by Maurizio Bolognetti, heard September 23, 2010 in the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry on the cycle of waste and illegal activities related to it. The Secretary of the Radicals Lucan states that "despite the pollution ARPAB knew at least since January 2008, his Director Vincenzo Sealed, communicate to the highest health authority or the mayor of Melfi, and also by other agencies until March 2009 that there was a problem. " Bolognetti but goes further. "Since 2002 all'Arpab was entrusted with the task of monitoring the environmental media of that area, but in November 2009, during a hearing of the same director (Vincent Sealed, ed) at the Regional Commission on Environment and the territory, showed a particularly disturbing in some respects: there would be no monitoring of the 2002-2006 five-year period, or if there are not valid, because they were not validated. The suspicion arises that someone who is perhaps the pollution could still be initiated prior to January of 2008. " And in fact the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection knew, as confirmed by the press, in September 2009, from the manager Bruno Bove: "Since March 2008 we were aware of the alarming levels of mercury in the groundwater, but not for the our Board to raise the alarm. " Not only mercury. Nickel, chromium, Trichloroethylene, Tetrachloroethylene, fluorides, chlorinated aliphatic carcinogens. An alarming presence of highly harmful to health, with concentrations exceeding the recommended limits in support of the two ordinances of the town of Melfi enacted in 2009, still in force, with which it is absolutely "no use, for any purpose, groundwater pumping from wells inside the perimeter of the incineration plant site Phoenix as well as those downstream of the site. " A ban put on paper after the late-cost operator of self-reports at the time, a paltry fine of 34,000 €. A palliative, for EDF-Phoenix spa was not used in the resolution of the investigation contamination - due to a malfunction of one of the two furnaces for the incineration of hazardous waste, as shown in the tables about their observations of the matrix environmental water "They cover the heavy metals, updated at the end of September 2010 and disclosed in November. A concern is the nickel, 5 of 9 wells pumping, and trichlorethylene (trichlorethylene). On the judicial front, however, we learn of the transfer - from the hands of the prosecutor Melfi, Renato Arminio, the Power of Attorney - an investigation initiated in March 2009. A change of management expertise in the total reserve, which has not been disclosed nor the reasons for this decision, nor the names of alleged suspects.
permits expired
From reading the last ISPRA Waste Report we learn that the Comprehensive Environmental Authorization for the incinerator EDF-Phoenix spa has expired October 19, 2010 and that the relevant offices of the attempt to validate the Basilicata region, supporting Article 9 of Legislative Decree 59 of 2005, which requires a revaluation of the case established in the Hague "pollution caused by" and even stop the incineration of waste - as repeatedly requested by the Lucana Environmentalist (which calls for clarity on the allocation of 26,000 tonnes of toxic ash produced). The incinerator to burn waste, however, continues at full tilt, even under a recent Order of the President of the Regional Government, Vito De Filippo, who has ordered the transfer of 1,600 tonnes of waste as it is coming from the center of transference of Titus from 1 December 2010 to December 31, 2010. But there were also other abnormalities, one of which is contained in the waste management plan of the Province of Potenza. The figures do not add the amount of hazardous waste injected in the rotary kiln incinerator. The amount shown disposed in the Plan range from a minimum of 45,000 tonnes per year to a maximum of 65,000, compared with a maximum capacity of the rotary kiln of 35,000. If these values \u200b\u200bwould be backed up in front of an excess of authorized amounts, confirming the role of the incinerator EDF-Phoenix spa in the sky waste in Basilicata. Suffice it to say that in 2008 they were transferred to Melfi drums containing paints and solvents, buried illegally in the district of Fosso Lavandaio Pisticci leachate and landfill district Frontoni Santarcangelo. An operation to supply the latter, which cost 600 thousand euro, with funds from the Val d'Agri operational program, financed by oil royalties. And today could tap the waste from Campania, considering availability clearly evident in 2008, the Municipality of Melfi.
There continues to be ill
The increase of cancer in Basilicata ( question that Earth has treated 30 June 2010) logs data of concern, with curva dell’incidenza di tutti i tipi di patologie in ascesa, rispetto alla media nazionale e confrontati nei quinquenni di indagine 1997-2001 e 2002-2006. Nel Vulture la situazione non è migliore, con incrementi di tumori al colon (+18,5), al retto (+21,5), alla prostata (+84,2) per i maschi e alla mammella (+32,3), all’utero (+10,4) per le femmine, con un abbassamento dell’età media della popolazione colpita. I cittadini pretendono monitoraggi approfonditi e serie indagini epidemiologiche, mentre il vicesindaco di Lavello, Antonello Catarinella, chiede risarcimenti economici.
