The Cappuccini district committee and the experts who have shown perplexity about the municipal project for hydraulic safety in the Fosso della Noce valley can act from now until 30 June. The Municipality of Sassari has in fact filed, with the Sardinia Region, the application for the initiation of the procedure for verifying the subjectability to the VIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) relating to the intervention. The observations must be sent to the pec of the Department of the Environment.
The EIA has the purpose of identifying, describing and evaluating, in advance of the construction of the works, the effects of specific public or private projects on the environment . That is to say on the health of the population, the protection of biodiversity and more.
For months, the Cappuccini Committee has been collecting signatures and publicly expressing its opposition to the project, arguing that it "will disfigure the valley" . But the planners of the Municipality guarantee that the environment will be respected: the gully to let the water flow will flow outdoors where possible and only indoors where the concrete already exists due to the presence of the parking lots.
The project obtained a ministerial funding of 5 million and a regional one of 460 thousand euros for the planning.
