In December 2000, the new prefect of Naples, Carlo Ferrigno, and the new Commissioner of the Government to declare an emergency to the Bicameral Commission:
"Let me first give you an overview of the situation. The technical group who had been appointed at the time, consists of seven units from government and public institutions specialized, following audit of the information provided in connection with which he was willing to continue his activities for the disposal For the nine landfills in operation in the whole Campania region, on 31 March, had almost all reached their design capacity.
Before providing specific items of information for each landfill, I wanted to emphasize that the contribution of waste beyond the plane of the surrounding countryside is causing major problems and environmental sanitation technicians.
The first issue is of considerable visual impact that has exacerbated the distress and protests of the inhabitants and administrators who seek the immediate closure of the plant. Disposal involves raising the other hand, significant management difficulties.
It must ensure, first, the stability of the ramps Access to the site drainage to ensure the safety of the workers at the disposal of waste, avoiding the well-founded risk of tipping of the operational resources. The second problem is the regularity of the slope of the embankments built to boundary conditions of stability, with the provision of adequate drainage of rainwater. Then there is the need for a perfect daily covering of waste in order to prevent the transport of light over the edge of the fence. Finally, it should ensure the prompt removal of leachate to be contained within sealed areas. A
It follows naturally that the continuation of disposal involves the postponement of remediation and final settlement already scheduled, with the sealing of the landfill and the biogas collection, as it must adapt their configurations to new projects that will be used to take over the sites. From
technical inspections carried out at the landfills in operation has shown that the entire system, if carried further beyond the acceptable levels of safety and security, may undergo a major collapse, with unpredictable repercussions in terms of geo-environmental. The overload of waste on the bottom may in fact undermine the waterproofing works with the natural release of leachate into the groundwater. Furthermore, the excessive height in elevation leads possible conditions of instability of slopes, with the possible sliding of the mass of the waste outside the waterproofed.
In this framework, there is extremely concerned that the projects undertaken by the Regional President, responsible for the construction of energy plants and facilities for production of refuse derived fuel (RDF), which should have been put into operation in the current year, are suffering delays due to sudden changes of mind or put in opposition, once again, by the local administrators as well as political and social forces.
