Procedure descriptions

Notify construction, significant modification or measures involving a change in the hazard level of installations for handling substances hazardous to water (except heating oil consumer installations and JGS installations)

If you wish to construct a new installation for handling substances hazardous to water or make significant changes to it or take measures that result in a change in the hazard level, you must notify the authorities.

You must notify the competent authority at least 6 weeks in advance of the construction, significant modification or change to the hazard level of a system subject to mandatory testing.

Notification is not required if

  • a suitability assessment has been applied for in accordance with the Water Resources Act or
  • Installations are the subject of an authorisation procedure under other legislation, provided that the requirements of this Ordinance are also ensured in the authorisation procedure. This is generally the case for authorisations in accordance with the State Building Regulations for Baden-Württemberg or the Federal Immission Control Act.

Responsible department

Please ensure that you send your notification to the responsible water authority.

The respective local regional councils are responsible as higher water authorities if the notification relates to a company site on which at least one installation exists or is planned,

  • which is subject to the EU Industrial Emissions Directive (installation in Annex 1 column d of the Ordinance on Installations Subject to Authorisation, marked with the letter E),
  • which constitutes an operating area pursuant to Section 3 (5a) of the Federal Immission Control Act (hazardous incident facility) or
  • which is subject to authorisation pursuant to Section 60 (3) sentence 1 numbers 2 and 3 of the Federal Water Act.

In all other cases

in a rural district: the district administration,
