Who gains from moving to the incinerator waste?

The waste crisis in Campania and sludge in Piombino Bagnoli are two sides of same coin. The mayor of the rest Anselmi has never wanted us to speak of waste (euphemistically called them "materials") as President of the Region Martini admits explicitly stating that " Tuscany his hand, is already doing, accepting the waste Special Bagnoli in Piombino. A question arises: who is the liar?

So there are similarities between the waste crisis in Naples and that of municipal waste Bagnoli who decided to bring in Piombino. There are similarities and mingling that makes the picture even more worrying.

The 1st is lexical similarity: both are described as "emergencies." Why? In reality are two situations do not arise at all so sudden or unexpected, as can be for flood, earthquake or other disaster, are situations that come from far away (15 years) and are the result of poor management of public . Not only were widely expected, but could have been resolved with an ordinary and prudent management by local authorities and the State, without going to a state of national emergency and waste of public money. The analogy is 2 ^
environmental rules in accordance with good environmental policy both cases were be resolved within the region, as happens in all modern countries with less risk and less waste of public money.

The 3rd analogy about democracy: you try to solve both cases (the "rubbish" in Naples and filled with poisonous Bagnoli) with emergency procedures. As you know these are procedures that modify skills, powers and balances between state bodies, with severe and inevitable change in the rules of democracy, transparency, legality, participation and competition. In fact the resulting solutions have already adopted or will be taken pass over the heads of citizens and the territories.

The 4 ^ analogy is economic: in both cases there is someone who makes money, legitimately or not, and that makes profits in spite of the public health and the environment.

The 5th analogy is the moral responsibility of no one pays to have produced these so-called emergency situations, but in reality are primarily the result of bad policy, and sometimes dell'inconcludenza of ill repute.

These considerations relate to Naples, Bagnoli and also concern about Piombino, where no one place in time the problem of disposing of industrial waste from steel works and the reclamation of industrial areas. In all cases, instead of moving the waste clean up and this really demonstrates the inability of mayors, presidents of the region, public and private administrators to manage the collection and disposal of waste or Bagnoli Piombino. A legitimate question is: Who gains by the movement of waste?

"The sand harbor sludge Bagnoli »

Controversy for the Green Strut

GIANLUCA Domenichelli

" SAND dredged from the port of Scarborough strut ends in tanks filled with the port of Piombino, Bagnoli like sludge. "

is the proposal of the Green Gulf to resolve the controversy of the highly contested nourishment scarlinese just ended on the coast, bordering Follonica, for which material has been excavated from the bottom of the port structure of the strut.

material is totally incompatible with the sand 'original' of the coast, according to environmentalists, who respond "in kind" to the reply of the mayor of Scarborough, Maurizio Bizzarri. "The mayor invites us to take care of our home - says Marco Stefanini representing environmentalists - but should know that the Gulf is a single entity, forest protected area, the industrial zone on the coast, and every political force that is interested environmental protection can not escape from dealing also the preservation of the coastline. "

ABOUT of nourishment, here are the 'allegations' made to Gonzo. And only.

"Arpat should have supervised directly and independently of beach nourishment on the transaction, placing samples in their - explain the Greens - to avoid the environmental consequences that exclude even the mayor, as calls to verify the situation in a few months. This is unacceptable: Mayor should provide a warranty right now. "

GUARANTEES that they would defect, say environmentalists. "There is evidence that the material used for beach nourishment, dredged the harbor of the strut, has a consistency lower than the sand of the coast, it is obvious that may be compatible with that stretch of coast, but just because they have those parts already present in abundance. For the beach Follonica could not be used, so it should also apply to Scarborough. "

IN ANY CASE, environmentalists' disposal of the dredged sand is a problem that should resolve who owns the port, ie Promomar. But the situation needs to be managed: for this - concludes Marco Stefanini for the Greens in the Gulf - we call Leghorn provincial alderman Anna Morocco to assess the possibility of giving the dredged material in tanks filled with the port of Piombino. It is a possible solution for the future, and we try to compare. "

The sludge Scarborough Piombino

SCARLINO . The dredging of the harbor mouth of the strut will be an almost cyclic, and find adequate accommodation to the material brought up from the bottom may not be easy. Just look What happened at the nourishment of the coast of Scarborough, made precisely with the sand of the harbor and that sparked the controversy between municipalities, political parties, associations and environmental movements.
"Scarborough is a region of great environmental value - Marco Stefanini confirmation of the Green Bay - our alarms are certainly not intended to make war with the Mayor Maurizio Bizzarri but to avoid the danger of a drift environment which then becomes irretrievable. We must also think about steering the future situation. In a couple of years because the problem will recur to dispose of the dredging of the port strut, as the natural currents of the Gulf, even before the construction of the settlement, making the mouth Fiumara of the natural setting in which the sediment is deposited. We appeal to the Province of Livorno eall'sessore the coastal defense Anna Maria Marrocco, coordinator of the permanent forum on sewage Bagnoli, look for a confrontation with the town of Scarborough and to understand if and how it can exist in the coming years, the dredging port in tanks filled with the port of Piombino. Stefanini
then responds to the last details of the mayor Gonzo. He added: "Bizzari said that no one from Follonica has posed problems to the nourishment, but then confirms that it has warned anyone but then Scarborough is in the permanent table of the Gulf only when it suits them and not likely to receive negative opinions on its actions? ". Latest
reflections on the quality and the methods by which the nourishment was completed. "The town of Follonica must make the only nourishment with sand of a certain type, but if the samples are already in Scarborough, where five years ago was spread the sand of the harbor is clear that the values \u200b\u200bare compatible with the dredged material, but that sand is not germane to the Gulf.

How To Ask Wife To Wear Stockings

on interviews with Bersani

That the Minister Bersani has the air of being procured and an interview request from the local PD Gerace, apparently concerned about the same thing at all costs that have wished. Apart from the magnificence of suspected adjectives ('splendid work', 'great idea', 'big thing' ...) statements of the minister of concern and provide some unambiguous confirmation. In particular:

- that the operations "Bagnoli Colmata" and "clean-up and re-industrialization of Piombino" are not linked;

- that all tried to "help out" to the Mayor, and you do not understand why if the transaction is as beautiful you try to make believe;

- that have not yet been established relationships with private companies for the reclamation of their competence.

If the operator tries to hold together the port development, infrastructure, land reclamation and re-industrialization of the SIN of Piombino, this case may not be sure who would sign an 'agreement in July only for sludge Bagnoli, including waste dangerous to the port of Naples, without worrying if the territory could receive them and treat them as originally planned. And in December did not go differently if the region had not intervened to put some stakes the urban planning of the port and the city, which will also carefully checked. And everything would go quietly if it were not for the Committee to make the issue public domain.

Minister seeks to accredit a strategic vision that is not, confirming that so far has carried its "piecemeal". He admits that there was no need to start Bagnoli sludge remediation, so why are there? Reiterating rhetorically, in fact ammettette also overcome the fundamental principle that the polluter should pay. Not a word about the environment, health and tourism. And then the time of the second agreement already are no longer sure of this: "I hope that we face over the next three months, "says ... a hope, in fact, not a certainty. In short, for the sludge was signed immediately, otherwise we'll see.
