Apecchio - Cagliari 22/01/2011
"Snam issued misleading communications to justify work, that of the pipeline, harmful and unnecessary for the Apennine populations. The truth is that our region will meet the costs of environmental and economic ambitions of Snam. These statements councilor of the City Environment and President of Aquila Interregional Coordination antigasdotto Alfredo Moroni. "The Snam continues to justify his work as a strategic project: the facts, however, say otherwise. Currently, the gas demand in Italy is about 85 billion cubic meters annually, while the existing facilities have a capacity much higher, standing at 107 billion cubic meters annually. So, one wonders, what is this work? The answer is given the same Snam Sole24ore in an article in which the CEO Malacarne said that the company's key objective is to strengthen its role as a hub, that is reselling the gas to third countries, particularly in Central Europe . For this reason, states the article, "it is necessary to strengthen the transport capacity along the ridges." Here is explained what is the largest natural gas pipeline. The enormous profits of Snam will, in practice, the Apennines covered and supported by the community, they will pay a heavy price in terms of environmental and social issues. The decision to build the pipeline axis Apennines, in fact, dictated only by economic reasons, since the cost of the passage of servitude are lower than the coast. " On problems of seismic risk, the Commission itself Ministerial environmental impact assessment (EIA), who examined the project in the stretch Sulmona Foligno, emphasizes the "high seismic risk areas crossed by the pipeline." This is so true that the Commission itself, prescribe the detailed studies on the seismic response of the work comes to the conclusion that they, in any case, will not eliminate, but only to "reduce the vulnerability of the action in the event of an earthquake" . The route coincides also with numerous who insist on protected areas and natural parks, in particular, with the territory of the "Appennino Parco d'Europa", the most important system program started in our country. Would be devastating, the landscape changes: the Snam again tends to minimize the damage by saying "the impact of the pipeline with the environment is completely temporary," officials of the Umbria region are not the same opinion and say: 'The intervention, both during construction and in operation phase involves significant problems of landscape as the route involves only a small part of flat agricultural land, while the remainder covers a territory varied from geomorphological and extremely delicate and valuable in terms of environmental landscape, "" In addition, altering the landscape produced by the work, despite the measures provided for gradual environmental restoration project, will remain visible for a considerable time and will be a sign prejudicial to the protection of landscape character of Umbria. " Whom should we believe, a company must sell their product or regional officials employed by our citizens for the protection of our territories? Finally note that, as these officials always claim Umbria, "The design of the pipeline will cross several ditches, streams and rivers. The changes of the riverbed and banks following their crossing, are negative and permanent. It is therefore not a feasible prediction of track, running parallel to the rivers intersect them several times. "And speaking of rivers, remember that the pipeline will go through dozens and dozens of bodies of water (more than thirty in one stroke Foligno -Sestino). In the stretch-Sestino Minerbio the Savio River would be crossed over 20 times. It 'really strange, then, that the Snam blatantly undermine the purpose of a pipeline of 687 km, from south to north of the peninsula, crossing ten regions, when he speaks of "five traits functionally autonomous" for each of which has been filed for environmental impact assessment. But how? On the one hand it is argued that the work is strategic for our country and the other trying to pretend that the five sections of megagasdotto are independent of each other? It 'all too obvious attempt to justify the artificial division of the work to avoid the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) only. This operation is, of which Snam is asked to respond to the European Commission, to which they are addressed, with specific complaints, different government departments and thousands of citizens from these areas. Finally, to combat this monstrosity, it is an inter-committee, which was given its own "card", almost a manifesto, which details the motivations of those who oppose, all'ecomostro across the country, many of the membership associations , administrators of institutions of all kinds, citizens and politicians of all persuasions.
