Immission control; advice and information

The responsible immission control authorities advise citizens and plant operators on immission control issues.

The competent immission control authorities are generally the district administrative authorities (i.e. the district administration offices or the municipalities with district status) and, in exceptional cases, the governments. They advise the operators of installations requiring approval with regard to the application process and the fulfillment of immission control obligations.

In licensing procedures under other areas of law, the immission control authorities issue statements as public authorities.

If you have any questions, suggestions or complaints regarding immission control issues, you can also contact the immission control authorities, who will respond and provide you with information.
