Modena Health Committee Press Release October 13, 2010 Environment

The Committee Health and Modena Environment Law disagreement with the release of the Municipality of Modena, is simply shameful. It does not change anything: the scheme will be approved incinerator to burn 240,000 tonnes per year. I'm just wordplay for people who do not know the situation with the quote the divestiture of lines 1 and 2 (was as envisaged, will line 3 from 60,000 tonnes which, added to 4 again from 180,000 to make 240,000 tonnes / year, which are twice before!). And to say that emissions are below the legal limits. Although greater than or equal to the previous situation. This is pollution by law! That do not yet know which aspects will have on our health.
This incinerator will become the most 'biggest in the region and will know what to do with whether the waste be reduced by using the collection.
Separate collection that no one will be motivated to take seriously (Hera and the City first) since there is an incinerator of this capacity.
In fact, the Provincial Waste Plan said that in 2005 had reached 55% of waste collection, and yet we have not. The existing law also provides that we must reach 65% in 2012 and 2014 to maintain incineration and landfill as residual.

The Committee reiterates the absurdity of the statements and decisions against the will of the people and continues to ask the Government and the Council: 1
- the loss of the doubling of the capacity of the incinerator combustion Via Cavazza motivated by serious problems of health, environmental and economic sustainability by increasing the collection differentiated, with a substantial savings, less pollution of air, water and soil and benefits to Modena. Tending to zero over time even the current use and then disposal incinerators.

2 - Crash of the modernization of the third line of incineration of 60,000 tonnes / year.

3 - With the savings (assuming € 15-20 million) to enable the doorstep collection of waste at least 50% of the municipal area on the model Albareto or Carpi Suzzara or so., Extending gradually in the months following (The inhabitants of the town of Modena represent 27% of the population of the province, and the rest?).

4 - Amend the Integrated Environmental Authorisation providing 120,000 tons of waste per year at most to be incinerated with the new furnace.

5 - Change the AIA to 0.0 tons per year by putting the amount of waste in the open market (they are also imported from elsewhere).

6 - For all the realities, such as offices, schools, kindergartens, public and private community in general, enable the campaign "Undifferentiated ZERO" intended to encourage the separate collection of quality for all product categories, effective education for all. Promote the emergence of a recycling center such as Vedelago (TV).

7 - Insert the principle of "return" of packaging at source. That is, according to the categories of production and trade concerned, the packaging may be returned to suppliers going back to the company produces. In essence, those who enter in the packaging company must curarne the return so as not to charge the community for disposal, even if recycling.

8 - By 2012, all municipalities in proprietors waste plant should at least get to the RD of the law (65%), not worth the same collecting waste.

9 - transparency, verifiability and quality of waste for the incinerator as is the case for stack emissions, which are controlled by anyone on the Internet. So we require the need for this approach:
- One or more webcams online 24 hours connected to instruments that record the pollutants monitored continuously.
- One or more webcams online 24 hours which preclude such trucks and wagons incoming goods, with enough detail to identify the means and the same origin.
- Place the weighing data online, type, source waste and so on. for each medium. (Suppose that this list already exists for internal use, just put it online).
- updated in real time presence on the internet of this data is mandatory for access to the means by which confer waste.
- Do not enter means "anonymous." Each half, from outside must always bear visible marks of the company they belong to.
- Access and on-site verification of data matching. Should be allowed to an independent body which do not belong in any way the operator or others related to him.
- using new technologies such as screening and selection of first refusal to be incinerated (methods used in systems that adopt the best technologies).

TOWN OF MODENA - Press Release

INCINERATOR, OK TO CHANGE THE THIRD LINE
Modena sends retired landfills, bet on recycling waste, which has already reached 50%, and the incineration


Modena definitely sends "retired" landfills, reaches 50% of waste collection, increase the door-to-decide to divest lines 1 and 2 waste incinerator, and to restructure the third, time stops, as integrated environmental license requirements in 2007. This will build a plant with emissions far below the legal limits, also capable of producing electricity and heat and to heat thousands of homes with the Modena district heating, waste burning boilers and replacing as many fossil fuels. This was decided by the City Council at its meeting of Tuesday, October 12, in line with the regional plan for waste management, which gives the incinerator a key role in the disposal process of unrecycled. To proceed, the city taken, however, the views of bodies environmental control.
"The operation will avoid recourse in the event of plant shutdown, to distant landfills, resulting in high costs - the mayor of Modena Giorgio Pighi - and the city must be able to ensure self-sufficiency in waste management. The new plant it uses modern technology, able to significantly reduce atmospheric emissions and further reduce air pollution. It will also respond more adequately to the needs of the production system, made up of small and micro enterprises and commercial craft, controlling the increases in service costs and therefore prices, "said the mayor.
are produced in the province of Modena, in fact, more than one million 900 thousand tons of waste, excluding those from the activities of construction and demolition, and 456 thousand tons of waste. Inert materials, ferrous metals and glass are started to recovery, but a significant proportion of waste in all respects similar to those in urban areas, ranging in different ways in different disposal facilities outside the province: landfills, incinerators or power stations and cement, treatments are not always correct.
The ability to burn a larger amount of waste generated from the business world is facilitated by increases in recycling from 30% in 2005 to 50% today, with an average increase of 5 points each year and with the goal of reaching 65% by 2014. Voluntary agreements for reduction of waste production have successfully controlled the growth of production (which stood at 690 kilograms per capita per year), were activated 2 new ecological islands, one fixed and one itinerant, while about 11 000 citizens are involved in collection activities at home (door to door) partial or complete. Hundreds of gray boxes were also removed and replaced with those for differentiated and is currently in the territory of District 3, a project to increase the efficiency of curbside collection.
"Based on indications given by the City Council - remembers the city councilor Environment Simona Arletti - we asked Hera to develop a project that also increases the curbside collection from the residents of the historic center, restaurants, bars and shops of fruits and vegetables. "In the city are already 846 years commercial service that is guaranteed individualized collection of waste and about 3 000 families who voluntarily adhere to the center of the home collection.
Modena today is among the top three Italian cities with more than 150 000 inhabitants for the collection and the percentage sent for disposal was reduced to 0.2%, while the use of landfills in the province is further reduced to just over 17%. With the project system Modena 65 will aim to create a model shared with the citizens of Modena.
"We are building communities of recovery and recycling that Europe is asking us - Arletti ends - and the area of \u200b\u200bplant via Caruso will be upgraded with the goal of becoming a center of advanced recycling. In addition to replacing the old line to for better environmental performance also is expected to enhance the screening facility to increase the recovery of materials prior to incineration and to convert the hazardous waste and other hazardous waste to increase recycling.
