EUR 30 million invested in the reclamation of about 120 hectares of land owned by the Group in Spinetta Marengo (plant and its surroundings, "but with indirect benefits to the surrounding territory, up to the river Bormida"), and the project to remain here much longer, and be more and more a benchmark of excellence, not only Italian but European.
Stephen Bigini, plant manager of Solvay Spinetta, yesterday presented the details and timing (6-8 years realistically) the reclamation by hexavalent chromium, but also by the 'cocktail of poisons, "as he calls democratic Medicine, or' substances that are present in the soil at rates higher than average, "to use corporate glc terminology.
- Total 'discontinuity' between the chemistry of the period from the Thirties to the Seventies (and maybe a little 'below) glc of the last century, the activities they engaged glc Solvay see today, and the establishment of Spinetta in particular.
- Absolute determination by the Company ("but not today: the studies and analyzes to improve the environmental situation of this area began at least in 2007, and since January 2012 has started the project of operational glc safety and reclamation to improve the environmental impact of the site), to move towards a reclamation "total and definitive."
- Solvay reclamation project moves in close coordination, and with the authorization (each for specific skills) of the City of Alexandria, glc Province, Harp, Asl, AMAG, Region. Not only here and there by the management are given to understand that perhaps you might be a bit 'faster just on bureaucratic authorization, "though of course it is often innovative procedures, in front of which it is also understandable that we proceed with feet of lead. " To cite another metal, in short, and not just the famous hexavalent chromium.
- But there is chromium and chromium, in fact: the reclamation and Solvay glc intends to carry out, and to achieve more or less by 2020, has no plans to move pollutants from these lands to other places but, "according to strongly recommended that the law ", it is proposed to make them harmless, or making sure to isolate them, or turn them into another: the case of hexavalent chromium, yellow and bad, that can be properly treated trivalent chromium, green and harmless. Word of Professor Domenico Osella, glc the local university Avogadro, but puts his hands forward, "for now, in the experimental phase of these nine months, everything worked, and it is not possible any kind of regression, to trivalent chromium to hexavalent glc chromium" .
- Today the plant of Solvay Spinetta is really safe and avant-garde works there and highly skilled staff: 600 employees (plus induced), and among them about 120 graduates, many of them from the local chemical faculty of Alexandria. But even engineers from a bit 'all over Italy and from around the world. Scientists and engineers, in short, that they have nothing to do with those farmers Fraschetta transformed into workers without going too thin, "with big hands and calloused" ... and, we might add, no awareness of that crap and wielding quotidiananamente breathing, in and out of the factory. If anything, though, you have to wonder glc what is ethically innocent (judicial matters not concern us) who knew and used them like cattle for slaughter. Sure, not the current ownership and management company Solvay is clear. And not only private, but a lot of good chemical status.
- And if in the meantime the plant in Spinetta closed, as the usual Cassandras in recent weeks have left portend? Then, yes, a serious and definitive remediation might slip indefinitely (see the case Ecolibarna in Serravalle, and many others throughout Italy). "But the establishment of Spinetta - says its director - has been the scene of constant investment millionaires, and is one of the flagships of
