Leistungen A-Z

Do you operate an installation that is subject to immission control licensing and constitutes an operating area or is part of an operating area, and are you planning to make changes to the installation that are relevant to incidents?

These projects can lead to a significant increase in risk being triggered by the plant as a result of the change or other requirements under immission control law can no longer be guaranteed.

Against this background, the immission control authority must review these changes.

To do this, you must submit an application for a modification permit and submit all the documents required for the assessment. The application can be made in writing or electronically.

However, approval is not required if and insofar as the obligation to maintain the appropriate safety distance is already guaranteed at the level of a spatially significant plan or measure by binding specifications.

The modification permit is granted if:

it is ensured that the obligations arising from the requirements of the Federal Immission Control Act and the Federal Immission Control Ordinance are fulfilled and
other public law regulations and occupational health and safety concerns do not conflict with the construction and operation of the system.

A permit for wind turbines in the context of repowering may also not be refused if, after modernization, not all immission guide values of the technical instructions for protection against noise are complied with, but

the immission contribution of the wind turbine after modernization is lower than the immission contribution of the wind turbines it replaces and
the wind turbine corresponds to the state of the art.

• Required drawings, plans, expert opinions
• explanations and
• other documents (if necessary, ask the competent authority).

A fee is charged for the decision on a permit application in accordance with tariff item 2.1.1 of Annex 2 of the Fee Schedule (GebOMUGV).

There is no deadline.
