Anlagen mit Verwendung organischer Lösemittel oberhalb der Schwellenwerte: Änderungen melden

Do you want to operate a system that does not require a permit and uses solvents above the threshold values in Annex I of the 31st BImSchV? Then you must notify the responsible immission control authority in advance of any significant changes.

• Responsible in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Immission control authorities of the districts, independent cities and large towns belonging to the district

If you operate a system that does not require a permit with a solvent consumption above the threshold values according to Annex I of the 31st BImSchV, you must notify the responsible immission control authority in advance of any significant changes.

The obligation to notify applies to all installations that do not require a permit and are operated with a solvent consumption above the threshold values according to Annex I of the 31st BImSchV.

A significant change is any:

• modification which, according to the assessment of the competent authority, may have a significant negative impact on human health or the environment
• A change in nominal capacity which, in the case of installations
  • of numbers 1.1, 1.3, 9.2 or 11.1 of Annex I with a solvent consumption of 25 t/a or less,
  • points 4.1 to 4.5, 8.1, 9.1, 10.1, 10.2, 12.1 or 14.1 of Annex I with a solvent consumption of 15 t/a or less,

  • numbers 16.1 to 16.4 of Annex I with a solvent consumption of 500 t/a or less

leads to an increase in emissions of volatile organic compounds of more than 25 percent.

Change in rated capacity that leads to an increase in emissions of volatile organic compounds of more than 10 percent.
