Deliberation of the Regional Committee of Lombardy n. 2611 of 11 December 2000

" Refresh of the directory of the astronomical observatories in Lombardy and determination of the relative bands of respect "

SEEN the regional law 27 March 2000, n. 17 " urgent Measures in topic of energetic saving to use of external lighting system and fight to the luminous pollution " and in particular the art. 5 that places in head to the Regional Committee the following implementations:

RECALLED the directory of which to the art. 10 of same l.r. the 17/00 that subdivides the observatories from guardian in three categories:

  1. astronomical, astrophysical observatories professional;
  2. not professional astronomical observatories of large cultural, scientific and popular importance of regional interest;
  3. astronomical, astrophysical observatories not professional of provincial importance that carry out scientific activity and/or spreading;

SEEN famous the 27 you open them 2000 of the Montana Community Park High Garda Bresciano with which:

SEEN famous the 22 Italian Astrophysical september 2000 of Union (U.a.i.) with which:

TAKEN to verification ACTION carried out from the competent Organizational Unit, therefore as it previews the art. 5 of l.r. the 17/2000;

DATA ACTION that the location of the bands of respect for the three categories of observatories has assumed, like references, the experiences technical – scientific matured in within national and international that they have evidenced like the discouragement more consisting of the luminous emissions, equal to the 70 – 80%, are obtained taking part on distances of the order of 25 km, beyond which less obvious margins of mitigazione are had much and as for nearly the total removal of the luminous interferences it would be necessary to take part on ambles to you territorial many extending, species in zones strongly those of the Lombardy urbanizzate which;

THOUGHT, for the exposed motivations over, to fix the following bands of respect, understandings like beam from the considered observatory:

THOUGHT also to indicate such bands of protection in the cartographies of which to the attached C) to the present deliberation, of which it constitutes integrating and substantial part;

THOUGHT, finally, to detail the previous determination in it encloses to you To), B) and D) that, parimenti, constitute integrating and substantial parts of the present deliberation;

TAKEN ACTION that the Leader of the competent Organizational Unit for matter characterizes the appraisals and determination of which over like first regulation of the art. 5 of l.r. the 17/00, reserving itself see again the same ones in dependency of eventual norms, also technical, or directives or resolutions that had to interest the specific argument;

DATA ACTION that the present provision is not subject to control to the senses of the art. 17 of law n. 127 of 15 May 1997;

D And L The B And R To

  1. to modernize the directory of the observatories from guardian of which to the art. 10 of l.r. the 17/2000, inserting, in the second category, the astronomical observatory " New Millennium Observatory " of Stumped (Co), in how much not professional structure of provincial importance;
  2. to correct the denomination of the structure already inserted in the directory like " Observatory of Rest Top – Masaga (Bs)" in " Astronomical Observatory of Top Rest di Magasa (BS)";
  3. to assign to the observatory of which to previous point 2, in dependency of the logistic oneness, characterized they give an altitude of 1350 m s.l.m. in full regional Park of the Garda High Bresciano, and of its scientific and cultural vocation, the valence of not professional of provincial importance, typical structure of the second category;
  4. to characterize, for every single category of belongings of the observatories, the bands of premised respect already indicated in and of continuation recalled:

Astronomical, astrophysical observatories professional: 25 km

  1. Astronomical observatory Brera di Merate (LC)

Not professional astronomical observatories of great cultural, scientific and popular importance of regional interest: 15 Km

  1. Astronomical observatory of Top Rest di Magasa (BS)
  2. Astronomical observatory Serafino Zani di Lumezzane (BS)
  3. Astronomical observatory of Sormano (CO)
  4. Astronomical observatory G.v. Schiapparelli Field of the Flowers of Varese (GOES)

Not professional astrophysical astronomical observatories of provincial importance that carry out scientific activity and/or of spreading: 10 Km

  1. Astronomical observatory of the PreAlps Orobiche di Aviatico (BG)
  2. Astronomical observatory " Presolana " of Castione of Presolana (BG)
  3. Astronomical observatory Sharru di Covo (BG)
  4. Astronomical observatory Civic Specola Cidnea of Brescia (BS)
  5. Private observatory of Bassano Bresciano (BS)

  10. Public Astronomical observatory of Saint Gorgo Benedict Po (Mn)
  11. Observatory City of Legnano (ME)
  12. Grosso Social observatory " " of Brugherio (ME)
  13. Observatory Public Giuseppe Public squares of Bridge in Valtellina (I KNOW);

  1. to characterize such bands of protection by means of attached cartographies to the present deliberation, of which they constitute integrating and substantial part;
  2. to decide that, within the same bands, all the sources of light answering to the criteria do not indicate to you from l.r. the 17/2000 come replaced and modified in such way to reduce the luminous pollution, therefore like previewed from the art. 9 of l.r. the 17/00;
  3. to assume, which you leave integrating and substantial of the present deliberation, encloses to it to you To), B) and D) better described in the premises;
  4. to decide that the cartographies of which to previous point 5) are transmitted to the common ones whose administrative territory is, in all or part, interested from the tie;
  5. to recall the province to the implementations of which to the art. 3, letter b), of l.r. the 17/00, let alone to the verification of the luminous incidence of ambles to you territorial afferent the common ones marginally interested from the tie, whose outcomes will have to be send you to the Region for eventual the ulterior determination;
  6. to approve of the united ones it encloses to you To, B, C, D, that they constitute integrating part of the present one deliberates;
