Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzCoal-fired power plants, industrial plants, intensive livestock farms and similar installations cause air pollution, noise, vibrations, etc. to a particularly high degree.
In order to protect people and the environment from harmful environmental effects and to prevent the occurrence of harmful environmental effects, such plants require a permit for construction and operation in accordance with the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG). The installations that are subject to a permit requirement due to their nature and size are listed conclusively in the Ordinance on Installations Requiring a Permit (4th BIm-SchV).
A plant that does not require a permit and that has already been built or whose construction or significant modification has begun becomes subject to approval by inclusion in the catalog of plants requiring a permit of the Ordinance (4th BImSchV). In this case, the plant is subject to the immission control approval requirements and must be registered with the competent authority within a period of three months after the entry into force of the respective 4th Federal Immission Control Ordinance.
