Immission control; application for a permit for the construction and operation of a plant

The construction and operation as well as the substantial modification of certain industrial plants, which may cause harmful effects on the environment, require a permit under immission control law. The types of facilities concerned are listed exhaustively in the Ordinance on Facilities Requiring a Permit (4. BImSchV).

Description

The German Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) stipulates that the construction and operation of plants that can typically cause harmful effects on the environment (cf. Section 4 (1) Sentence 1 BImSchG) require immission control approval. The types of installations concerned are listed exhaustively in the Ordinance on Installations Requiring a Permit (4th BImSchV).

A distinction is made between the formal procedure according to § 10 BImSchG and the simplified procedure according to § 19 BImSchG. Both procedures have in common that they require a written application and the submission of all documents relevant to the examination as well as the participation of other affected authorities. In the formal procedure, there is also a public announcement of the project, a public display of the application including documents and, if necessary, a hearing. In certain cases, an environmental impact assessment must also be carried out (cf. Ordinance on the Approval Procedure - 9th BImSchV).

As a rule, the district administrative authority (= district office or municipality) is responsible for the decision on the permit, in exceptional cases specified by law, the government (cf. Art. 1 Bavarian Immission Control Act - BayImSchG).
If the operator intends to change the location, condition or operation of an installation requiring a permit, he must also obtain a permit for this if it is a significant change (cf. Art. 16 (1) BImSchG). Other changes must be notified to the licensing authority at least one month before commencement (Section 15 (1) BImSchG).
