The Cengio and Saliceto Site of National Priority islocated in the Bormida river valley, in the province of Savona, and covers an area of approximately 67 hectares. Its origin dates back to 1882, with the building of a small dynamite factory. In 1925, Acna, short for Aziende Chimiche Nazionali Associate, converted it into a factory for producing intermediates for dyes and pharmaceuticals that was taken over by the Montecatini company in 1931 and then by Montedison in 1964. In 1988, after a century of operation by companies outside the Eni group, Acna merged with Enimont as part of the industrial rescue operations ordered by the Italian government. In 1991 the plant was transferred to Enichem, now Eni Rewind, which permanently stopped production in 1999. The remediation plan for the site began in 1988, following a decision by the Council of Ministers who recognised Val Bormida to be an area at high risk of environmental crisis, and was relaunched in 2000 with the signing of a Programme Deal between Acna, the Ministries of the Environment, Industry and Health, the Regions of Liguria and Piedmont and the State-appointed Commissioner.
