Respirafeltre launches the challenge to the multinational and to the institutions in view of the Services Conference that will have to decide on the new melting furnace
/ feltre
The “Respirafeltre” Committee launches a challenge to Hydro and above all to the municipal and provincial administrations that have succeeded one another in recent years “because in the center of a city like Feltre there is an 85 thousand ton foundry with authorization to melt up to 20 thousand tons of recycling that can contain up to 20 percent of plastic ».
And so the message launched by the spokesmen Davide De Martin Bonan and Mauro Vettor is a simple and direct request in view of the Services Conference scheduled for Wednesday 7 April, which will have to decide on the basis of the monitoring data collected during 2020 on the substances emitted. from the new foundry whether to give the green light to the same plant: «It is essential that the controls continue with the methods applied up to now, ie“ continuously ”. Citizens’ health must be protected with the utmost rigor ».
The Respirafeltre committee strikes a blow after the interview given to our newspaper by the CEO of Hydro, Luca Bertola, and by the director of the Feltre plant, Stefano Spinelli, who, although not entering into the merits of the results of the investigations that have been carried out on emissions they declared themselves “calm” in view of the Services Conference scheduled in the Province.
«To date, we do not understand why a company with a turnover of several million euros does not agree to make a permanent monitoring procedure” in continuous “. That it considers this taxation expensive and vexatious, which in reality allows for the constant monitoring of pollutant emissions ».
«The“ continuous ”control carried out in these six months of testing», continue De Martini Bonan and Vettor, “has shown emissions within the limits of the law. But considering the proximity of the Hydro company with production activities such as farms and cattle breeding, the Respirafeltre committee asks that “continuous” monitoring become the standard. It is known that the environmental risk assessment, as a precaution, as per recent judicial rulings, is indispensable. It is essential to have serious and verifiable control procedures, not only based on the company’s self-analysis, long-term responses for all those activities that are based on the attractiveness of the Feltre area, starting with the dozens of B & Bs that concretely reflect the tourist vocation of the Feltre area ” .
The comment of the Respirafeltre committee grants Hydro the merit of the technological adaptation: “The committee recognizes that Hydro has done important works, such as the restoration of the ovens with the installation of pollutant abatement and monitoring systems that have actually reduced the emissions a lot, compared to the previous management. For this reason “, concludes the statement,” we are confident that the bodies in charge of control and authorizations will accept our requests “.
The decision in about ten days. –
