“The hazardous industrial waste currently stored in Crotone must be disposed of by Eni Rewind outside the territory of Calabria”.
This was stated by Angelo Bonelli, national co-spokesperson for Green Europe and deputy of the Green and Left Alliance, in a question to the Minister of the Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin.
Bonelli asks the minister “if he does not deem it necessary to adopt acts within his competence so that, on the occasion of the Services Conference scheduled for June 17th, he opposes the request by Eni Rewind to proceed with the revocation of the commitment incumbent on it to dispose of the special hazardous industrial waste of Crotone outside the territory of Calabria and so that, after years of omissive conduct, the defined Plan and the remediation and repair of environmental damage in the Site of National Interest (Sin) are promptly implemented”.
The Avs deputy, in the question, also refers to the resolution with which the Calabria Regional Council approved the regional waste management plan on 12 March. “In a paragraph of the Plan – claims Bonelli – it is stated that the provisions relating to the location criteria do not apply to landfills for permanent safety and to waste treatment plants built in the area subject to reclamation and intended for reclamation operations of contaminated sites, without prejudice to the obligation to remove the treatment plants once the remediation is complete. These provisions could be useful to Eni Rewind to pursue and achieve, after years of omissive conduct, the revocation of the commitment to dispose of waste outside the territory of Calabria and to create new purpose-built landfills for tenorm with asbestos within the Sin”.
