Submit measurement report on individual measurements of air pollutants at plants for the biological treatment of waste

If you operate a plant for the biological treatment of waste, you must have the air pollutant emissions checked regularly by means of individual measurements.

You commission a notified measuring point to carry out the measurement. You must prepare a measurement report on the results and submit it to the responsible immission control authority.

In Hesse, the measurements must be carried out by a notified body.

You can find these under:

The environmental departments of the regional councils are responsible.

Please contact the environmental department of the regional council responsible for you.

Measurement report with information on:

• Measurement planning
• measurement result
• Measurement methods used
• Operating conditions that are important for assessing the measurement results

• You operate a plant for the biological treatment of waste.
• You have newly constructed or significantly modified your plant.
• You have put your plant into operation.

The administrative service is a real act against which no legal remedy is possible.

You submit the measurement report as follows:

• You contact a notified measuring point, provide the necessary information for the measurement and arrange a measurement date.
• The measuring station then confirms the measurement plan and reports it to the authority responsible for you together with the measurement date.
• On the measurement date, the measuring body determines the emission values and compares them with the legally prescribed emission values of your waste treatment plant.
• Once the measurement has been completed, you will receive a measurement report from the measuring body.
• Check the measurement report and submit it immediately to the immission control authority responsible for you.

You must submit the measurement report together with all documents to the responsible authority immediately after the measurement.
If your waste treatment plant has been newly constructed or significantly modified, you must carry out the measurements every 2 months on at least one day in the first year after commissioning.
From the second year after commissioning, you must carry out the measurements once every 12 months on at least 3 days.

There is no statutory processing time.

In Hesse, fees for the official inspection of measurement reports are charged on a time basis.

There are no indications or special features.
