San Vittore Olona - A story that has done and will discuss thousands of citizens of the towns of San Vittore Olona and Canegrate. The tanks rolling of the Olona River date back to 1999, the year of the project, undertaken as the technicians of the Magistrate of the Po, involved the creation of four tanks along the river, then from the source to Milan. All this for a hydraulic and environmental balance of the river itself. Unable, however, have reliable data on the project, and developed a relationship with a lean. The city administration then sanvittorese formulated a series of comments and suggestions about thirty pages. The project was halted until 2004, the year in which it AIPO (inter-agency for the river Po which in 2003 took the place of the Magistrate of the Po) sent word to the municipalities of San Vittore, Canegrate, Legnano Parabiago and that the allocation of work was to take place later this year. At the end of December 2004 the town council led by Pino sanvittorese Bravin expressed a favorable opinion, stating that the inclusion of the project work was on schedule planning of the PGT. In June 2005 the municipality of San Vittore Olona organized a public meeting to explain the process that caused the negative reaction of residents, some of which formed one week after the meeting, a citizen committee for the defense of the territory bordering the river Olona. He began a tam tom pounding to let everyone know about the current operation and the fact that the technicians of the Politecnico di Milano confirmed in a report to the permeability of the bottom of the tank. A flyer of the time read: "San Vittore Olona in danger of becoming a depressed area, heavily polluted and can not do anything like sanvittoresi citizens." The Committee inziò the collection of signatures against the project. In April 2007 there was the environmental impact assessment work on the place where the tanks were made. "That survey - says James Agrati, Councillor sanvittorese - highlighted in a special way that the work was of enormous size. More similar to a containment basin that simple tanks rolling. " reported the doubts were many, starting with the future of the green denomitata "Parco dei Mulini" fully occupied by the tanks. The only positive was that town of Legnano, on whose territory will not be born anything. Negatives were the views expressed by Parabiago and San Vittore Olona. Canegrate remained impartial. The opinions were inconclusive be recorded in the minutes of the conciliation of the views of local authorities on 29 May 2008. Since last week the turning point: the region by the Environment Ministry releases the funds and find the money for surgery that will create considerable tension between the population, especially the sanvittorese. In a nutshell: we talk about a piece of park mills, now green, forested area, which will disappear forever, as will be forever changed the landscape surrounding the river with over 500 000 cubic meters of soil that will take other shores. So trucks and bulldozers working in the area for years to break down old trees and portaranno away all the excavated material. In the event of flooding of the river Olona, \u200b\u200bonce dug and brought into the same tanks rolling, the fund must always be cleared, removing all the material brought from the river downstream. The designers estimate that an average of 3000 tons to do. statistics say that over the last 400 years the Olona is flooded hundreds of times, with at least 70 devastating floods. For the construction of these tanks, to appropriate employment and the expropriation of farmland in the area near the River. The baby of the Mills Park will be devoted to a disgraceful end as the entire ecosystem of the area - the fundamental reason of the birth of the green - it will inevitably compremesso. Other questions unanswered for hours, also affect the functionality of the tanks rolling which effectively act as a reservoir, complete with opening doors in case of flash floods: the fear is that without proper maintenance, you can create a landfill open, given the level pollution of the river that would require more control to the base, which is monitoring the water that currently are made less often, and above all without notice to the public. The Olona is sick and the continuous frothy wakes that appear prominently right in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Mills, increases the risk of pollution of underground tanks that rolled in, but foreigners will increase exponentially.
