Befreiung von der Genehmigungspflicht zum Einleiten von Abwasser in private Abwasseranlagen beantragen

§ Section 59 (2) of the Federal Water Act (WHG)

If you want to discharge wastewater into a private wastewater system, you can be exempted from the permit requirement under certain conditions.

If you wish to discharge wastewater into a private wastewater treatment plant, you can be exempted from the permit requirement for wastewater discharge under certain conditions.

For certain industries and activities (such as chemical industry, paper production, metal processing, cooling water use), pollutants are to be expected in the wastewater that are not sufficiently purified in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Requirements for this are specified in the industry-specific annexes to the Wastewater Ordinance.

To comply with these requirements, special measures and wastewater pretreatment facilities are required to reduce the pollutant load in such a way that the wastewater can then be treated without harm in a public or private wastewater treatment plant.

The required documents depend on the wastewater (industrial wastewater, commercial wastewater) that is to be discharged into the private wastewater system.

• Application
• Contractual arrangements between the discharger of the wastewater and the operator of the private wastewater system.

You may be exempt from the permit requirement to discharge wastewater into a private wastewater facility if you ensure compliance with the legal requirements by entering into a contract with the operator of the private wastewater facility.

• You complete the application documents and submit them to the competent body with all the required documents.
• The competent office will review your application.
• If all the necessary requirements are met, your application will be approved.
• You will receive an exemption from the permit requirement to discharge wastewater into private wastewater systems.
