You would like to know whether there is a suspicion of contaminated sites or harmful soil changes on a property? If so, you can request information from the register of contaminated sites from the relevant authority.

Sites suspected of being contaminated are, on the one hand, plots of land belonging to decommissioned businesses/plants and other plots of land on which environmentally hazardous substances have been handled (contaminated sites) and, on the other hand, plots of land belonging to decommissioned waste disposal plants and other plots of land on which waste has been treated, stored or deposited (contaminated landfills).

The competent authority keeps a register of contaminated sites in which areas suspected of being contaminated are registered.

For various reasons, a property owner or a person with a legitimate interest requires information as to whether a property is suspected of being contaminated. For this purpose, an application for information from the register of contaminated sites can be submitted to the competent authority.

To provide information to persons who are not themselves the owner of the requested property, a power of attorney from the owner must be presented.

An application is necessary, which requires the following information:

• Your name and address,
• the exact designation with address and/or parcel number of the parcel in question,
• attach a site plan if necessary,
• attach a power of attorney from the owner of the land if the land is not yours.

If the applicant is not the owner of the land: power of attorney of the owner of the land.

If you are not the owner of the property for which you are requesting information from the register of contaminated sites, you must enclose a power of attorney from the property owner with the application.

Fees will be charged in accordance with the administrative costs.
