Handling of water-polluting substances Display
Installations for handling substances hazardous to water (e.g. the storage of heating oil, petrol, liquid manure) represent a source of danger for water bodies and soil due to the hazard potential.
Anyone wishing to install, erect, operate, shut down or recommission installations for handling substances hazardous to water within the meaning of § 62 of the Water Resources Act (WHG) must notify their project in good time before the start of the measure. Significant changes to the operation must also be notified.
If the project requires other public law regulations (e.g. approval according to the BImSchG), notification according to AwSV is not required.
The responsibility lies with the district, the district-free city, the large independent city and the State Trade Inspectorate.
Documents may be required. Please contact the competent authority.
Fees may apply. Please contact the relevant authority.
Notification Period: 6 Weeksbefore the start of the measure
