Erdaufschluss melden

Do you want to carry out drilling or other earthworks? Then you must notify the competent authority in advance.

If you wish to carry out so-called earth excavations, you must notify the competent authority. Earth excavations are boreholes or other earthworks that reach so deep into the ground that they can affect the movement or quality of the groundwater.

This can happen, for example, when soil layers are penetrated that protect the underlying groundwater from contamination.

Each borehole provides data for the assessment of the subsoil at the respective location. The report enables the responsible authorities to gain an on-site impression of the drilling project and the drilling material produced. The authorities can take additional measurements and ensure the quality of the drilling results. This prevents costly mistakes in underground spatial planning.

The notification must be made before you start work.
