Achievement at a glance
Executive design of the 5 implementing sheets of the 1st priority section of intervention.https://www.agenziapo.it/content/pnrr-%E2%80%93-aipo
In order to achieve the Intermediate Investment Target, which aims to reduce the artificiality of the riverbed by 13 km by December 2024, a priority section of five interventions has been identified. These interventions have been submitted to the Conference of Services, where the required authorizations by law have been obtained (such as VINCA, Landscape, preliminary environmental assessment, archaeological and hydraulic authorization). During the Conference observations from the territory and stakeholders have also been taken into consideration.
Calls for tenders have been published for the procurement of works for the 5 interventions.
Contracts have been structured by dividing, for each of the four intervention areas, the works related to the modification of hydraulic works and excavations (called Line M - Morphological) and the forestry works (called Line R - Renaturation, broadly: afforestation and management of weeds for five years after planting), in order to allow the selection of the best economic operators in carrying out the two different types of works.
The total amount of these tender notices amounts to 43.5 million euros, of which 17,927,000 euros for Line M interventions and 25,590,000 euros for Line R interventions.

In total, 5.9 hectares of abandoned banks and branches will be affected by the interventions, and approximately 400 hectares will be subject to naturalistic reforestation.
Challenges faced in implementation
Activities related to land acquisition for the implementation of the interventions (expropriation or revocation of state-owned concessions).Resolution of divergences related to the current land use affected by the interventions (e.g., agricultural activities, poplar cultivation, etc.).
