If you are planning construction work or changes to a facility that does not require a permit that could be significant for an incident, you must notify us in advance.

Do you operate a facility that does not require a permit under emissions control law and is part of an operating area or a component of such an area? Are you planning a significant change to this facility that could lead to a significant increase in risk or affect other requirements under emissions control law?
Or do you intend to construct and operate a facility that does not require a permit, which is part of an operating area and may be relevant to a major accident?
In these cases, it is necessary to inform the emission control authorities about these planned changes. This makes it possible to check whether the emission control requirements are still met. You must therefore notify the responsible authority before implementing your plan.

• Drawings, plans, reports describing the planned project
• Explanations and
• If applicable, further documents about which you will be informed by the competent authority

You must report the planned construction, operation or modification of a facility that could cause a major accident to the competent authority if the following conditions are met:

• The facility does not require a permit, but is part of an operating area or a component of an operating area.
• You are planning the construction, operation or modification of the plant in a way that is relevant to an incident.
• You have not yet applied for a permit for the construction, operation or modification of this facility that could cause a major accident.

You must apply for a major accident-related approval procedure for a facility that does not require approval if:

• the appropriate safety distance of the system is exceeded for the first time,
• the appropriate safety distance of the system is further exceeded or
• a significant increase in danger is triggered.

Fees apply. The amount of the fees depends on the investment amount or the administrative costs. They are calculated based on the Hamburg Environmental Fees Ordinance.

You report the planned accident-relevant construction or modification of your facility that does not require approval to the responsible authority before commissioning or carrying out the project. You can do this either using the EliA online service or in writing. Attach all the necessary documents to your report.
The responsible authority will confirm receipt of your notification and the attached documents. If necessary, the responsible authority will request further documents or information from you. No later than two months after receiving your complete documents, the responsible authority will inform you whether your project requires approval.
If the authority determines that no approval procedure is required, you as the operator may implement the project.
If the authorities come to the conclusion that your project requires approval, you must apply for approval for the construction or modification relevant to the incident. There are certain deadlines in the approval process.

The processing time is 2 months. The period begins when all required documents are submitted to the responsible authority.

Report your project to the responsible authority at least two months before the planned start. You may only start implementation after the responsible authority has informed you that no application for approval is required for your project.
