Report the construction and operation or modification of an installation not requiring a permit that is relevant to a major accident 
If you are planning an incident-relevant construction and operation or an incident-relevant change to an installation that does not require a permit and is an operating area or part of an operating area, you must register this.
-
Basic information
Do you operate an installation that does not require a permit under immission control legislation, which is an operating area or part of an operating area, and are you planning an interference-relevant change to it?
Or are you planning an incident-relevant construction and operation of an installation that does not require a permit and is an operating area or part of an operating area?
These projects can lead to a significant increase in risk from the installation as a result of the construction or modification or other immission law requirements can no longer be guaranteed.
The immission control authorities must therefore be informed of these changes so that the requirements under immission law can be checked. To do this, you must register your project with the responsible authority before it is carried out. The notification can be made in writing or electronically.
Requirements
An accident-relevant construction and operation as well as accident-relevant changes nstallation must be registered with the competent authority if:
- The installation is not subject to licensing and is either an operating area or part of an operating area,
- an incident-relevant construction and operation or incident-relevant modification is planned and
- a permit has not already been applied for the construction and operation of an installation relevant to an incident or the modification of an installation not requiring a permit.
An incident-relevant licensing procedure for an installation not subject to licensing is required and must be applied for if:
- The appropriate safety distance of the installation is undercut for the first time,
- the distance is further reduced or
- a significant increase in risk is triggered.
-
Procedure
- You notify the competent authority of the accident-relevant construction or modification of the installation that does not require a permit before commissioning or implementing your project.
- You can do this using the EliA service or in writing. You enclose the necessary documents with the notification.
- The competent authority will confirm receipt of the notification and the enclosed documents. If necessary, the authority will request further and/or additional documents.
- No later than two months after receipt of the notification and the complete documents, the competent authority will inform you whether your project requires approval or not.
- If the competent authority informs you that no approval procedure is required, you as the operator/owner of the project can proceed with the construction and operation or modification immediately after receiving notification from the authority.
- However, if the authority concludes that your project requires a permit, you must then apply for a permit for an accident-relevant construction or accident-relevant relevant modification.
