NAPLES (ITALPRESS) – As part of the “Safe River” campaign, the Carabinieri of the Forestry Departments of the Campania region carried out 183 checks in the month of April, ascertaining 34 administrative offenses and imposing fines of 363,626 thousand euros. 35 people reported for illegal construction and illegal waste management. The objective of the Campaign, the investigators say, “is to prevent and repress crimes relating to violations relating to illegal withdrawals from watercourses, diversions of riverbeds for unauthorized constructions, excavations and thefts of aggregates, spills of waste and illicit discharges. The controls are aimed above all at combating illicit activities which lead to destabilization of the natural conditions of waterways with inevitable hydrogeological disruptions”. In particular, the Carabinieri of the Forestry Unit of Pontelandolfo reported 4 people involved in the operations of furtive collection and receiving of lithoid material from the Sassinora Torrent, as well as the owner of the land where it was used for the construction of three warehouses. The collection of river aggregates has caused a profound change in the general structure of the river ecosystem and for this reason those responsible have also been reported for the crimes of destruction, dispersion, deterioration, disfigurement, soiling and illicit use of cultural and landscape assets.

The vehicles used (2 excavators and 2 trucks) and the land of approximately 10 thousand square meters where the construction of the warehouses was planned were seized. The Carabinieri of the San Gregorio Matese Forestry Unit proceeded with the seizure of a livestock farm in the territory of the municipality of Castello del Matese, in an area subject to landscape restrictions. During the inspection of the stables and surrounding land, the presence of an unauthorized discharge of turbid brown water into a mountain spring water stream tributary to Lake Matese below was ascertained. The legal representative of the farm was reported for unauthorized discharge of industrial waste water, failure to comply with the cases and procedures established for the agronomic use of farm effluents and for illicit disposal of waste. The Carabinieri of the Forestry Unit of Castellammare di Stabia reported 3 people as the client of the works and owners because they carried out a mechanical workshop activity in an area within the Sarno river basin, without any qualification. The activity took place on a square without coverage and without industrial waste collection tanks, therefore the used oils from the cars percolated directly onto the bare ground without passing through the special pre-filtering and oil removal tanks. The Carabinieri of the Forestry Unit of Cervinara have reported 2 people for workshop activities in the absence of authorizations in an area subject to an absolute ban on building in compliance with the minimum distance from the watercourse near the Carpignano Torrent and for illicit waste management. The military seized the car workshop square and two buildings. The Carabinieri of the Sarno Forestry Unit identified a discharge of whitish colored water into the Calvagnola di Fisciano stream, which falls within the catchment area of ​​the Sarno river and, thanks to the collaboration of Arpac, they managed to trace the origin of the wastewater. The drain was not registered and was in use by a factory in the area. 3 people reported for waste disposal and uncontrolled waste storage. Upon further inspection in the company’s yard, numerous bags containing lime were found as well as rusty gas tanks whose wastewater flowed into the sewer system and then ended up in the Cavignola stream. The soldiers of the Carabinieri Park Unit of Torre del Greco reported 3 people because without the authorization of the Vesuvius National Park Authority they had carried out a cleaning of the land, a reconstruction of a dry stone wall and built a ramp on the edge of an embankment without respecting the minimum distance from the watercourse. – photo of the Carabinieri press office of the Forestry Department – (ITALPRESS). vbo/com 16-May-24 10:11 .
