Environmental monitoring of the River Po Distric's Plans
Support to the Po River Basin Authority for the implementation of the SEA prescriptions related to the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) (3rd cycle) and the Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) (2nd cycle), both approved in December 2021, which concern the environmental monitoring of the plans throughout their implementation.
In particular, the Ministry of the Environment, through the opinion of the EIA-SEA Commission, requested to intervene on the District Plans in order to define and implement an integrated system for environmental monitoring of the plans, also through systematic collaboration with higher-level bodies and Regions.
The activities carried out by Poliedra, in close coordination with the Basin Authority, have concerned:
- The methodological approach and design of the integrated environmental monitoring system RBMP-FRMP-SEA, and the definition of the tools for its implementation. All of this has been included in the 2023 Environmental Monitoring Plan;
- Support for the establishment and work of the permanent technical table involving the Emilia Romagna, Lombardy, Piedmont, Aosta Valley, Marche, Liguria, Veneto Regions and the Autonomous Province of Trento;
- The drafting of the first Monitoring Report with the construction of the 2023 baseline which, through the identified context indicators, describes the environmental and socio-economic components on which the Plans can potentially have effects;
- The setting up of a possible path for the continuation of environmental monitoring activities by the Po River Basin Authority, with particular reference to the experimentation that can be activated in order to develop and test the information flows for populating the implementation indicators and to draft the second environmental monitoring report.
