Authorisation for waste disposal facilities

Anyone wishing to construct or operate a facility for the treatment, handling or storage of waste requires a permit under immission control law.

Description

This authorisation is a comprehensive real concession which, with a few exceptions, replaces all other permits under public law for the specific project (= concentration effect).

Important steps in the complex procedure are

  • Advising the applicant on the procedure and documents
  • Checking the completeness of the documents
  • Submission to the public interest organisations
  • public display and discussion of objections (in part)
  • Comparison of the comments received
  • Preparation of decision

We have compiled four golden rules to speed up immission control application and authorisation procedures.

Before preparing the application documents, we strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive advice from the processing office.
