Guidelines for waste incineration plants, thermal power plants and combustion plants

With the updated guide for waste incineration plants, thermal power plants and combustion plants, the Federal Environment Agency supports project applicants, planners and objects — agreeing on the preparation and processing of environmental compatibility declarations (UVE) for waste incineration plants, selected co-incineration plants (steam boiler plants), thermal power plants and combustion plants. It provides an overview of the relevant parts of the Environmental Impact Assessment Act (EIA-G 2000) and provides assistance in selecting and concretising the contents of an EIA for the project types mentioned above. In addition to amended legal provisions, the revision also incorporates the practical experience of experts from the competent authorities and the Federal Environment Agency. The Environmental Impact Statement is an integral part of the procedure under the Federal Law on Environmental Assessment — Compatibility UVP-G 2000 (BGBl. No 697/1993 as amended by BGBl. I No 2/2008).
