Information and Public Consultation pursuant to Art. 8 of Italian Legislative Decree 194/2005 “Implementation of Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise”.

Italian Legislative Decree 194/2005 “Implementation of Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise” places an obligation on companies and bodies operating public transport services, or related infrastructure, to draw up noise mapping and action plans for major roads.

In compliance with the requirements of Article 8 of Italian Legislative Decree 194/2005, paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, regarding information and public consultation on Action Plans, SAV publishes the Proposed Action Plan for the A5 Quincinetto-Aosta motorway stretch (Code RD_IT_0014_001) on its institutional website, and also informs the public by means of notices in daily newspapers.

The Action Plan identifies noise pollution problems, their impact, and the actions and measures that must be implemented to control environmental noise pollution, starting with the analyses already carried out in the Noise Mapping, which assesses the noise levels generated by motorway infrastructure.

From 22/05/2024 for 45 consecutive days, anyone may submit written comments and statements using the following methods:

• Registered mail with return receipt addressed to “Società Autostrade Valdostane S.A.V. p.A. – Strada Barat no. 13 – 11024 Châtillon (AO)”, indicating on the envelope the following wording: “2024-2028 Action Plan. Observations pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 194/2005”.
• PEC (certified e-mail) at the following address: sav.direzione@postecert.it indicating in the subject line the following wording: “2024-2028 Action Plan. Observations pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 194/2005”.
  The deadline for receiving proposals and comments from citizens is 06/07/2024 (inclusive).

The comments received will be evaluated for the purpose of drafting the final version of the Action Plan.

Pursuant to Article 4(8) of the same Decree, Action Plans recognise and update the Noise Containment and Abatement Plan drawn up pursuant to Decree of the Ministry for the Environment of 29.11.2000, which the undersigned Company sent to the competent authorities and which was last approved with Decree of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition no. 126 of 22/03/2022.

The Communication Report can be consulted on the site. In addition to summarising the fundamental steps of the project leading to the definition of Remediation Plan measures, the data provided by the Operator to the competent administrations, and approval aspects, it reports on the status of implementation of the Plan and the mitigation measures planned for the period 2023-2028.

The drawings use different symbols to represent the mitigation measures envisaged by the Action Plan in the period 2023-2028, mitigation measures carried out in previous Action Plans, and mitigation measures being planned or carried out.

Pursuant to Article 3(6) of the aforementioned decree, having drawn up and forwarded to the competent bodies the updated Noise Mapping 2021 for the A5 Quincinetto-Aosta motorway section in June 2022, in order to facilitate its disclosure to the public, as required by Article 9 of Directive 2002/49/EC, SAV S.p.A. publishes the same document on its website.
