Immission control - Submit measurement report on individual measurements of air pollutants at plants for the incineration and co-incineration of waste in accordance with 17. BImSchV
If you are the operator of a waste incineration or waste co-incineration plant, you must have the air pollutant emissions determined at regular intervals by means of individual measurements. The measurements must be carried out by a notified body (measuring centre) in accordance with Section 29b of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG). You must draw up a measurement report on the results and submit it to the immission control authority responsible for you.

Responsible authority
In most cases, the competent authority for installations that fall under the 17th BImSchV is Department 5, Environment, of the locally responsible regional council. In individual cases, a different responsibility may exist.
According to the Immission Control Competence Ordinance of the State of Baden-Württemberg (ImSchZuVO), the following applies:

- at least one installation which pursuant to § 60 para. 3 sentence 1 no. 2 or no. 3 of the Federal Water Act, or
- at least one landfill in accordance with Article 10 in conjunction with Annex I of Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control), as amended

Department 9, State Office for Geology, Raw Materials and Mining of the Freiburg Regional Council is also the state-wide competent immission control authority for
- Operational sites, including the facilities and activities located on them, which are subject to mining supervision,
- Operating sites with cable cars and funicular railways used for passenger transport,
- Sites with high-pressure gas pipelines which, as energy installations within the meaning of the Energy Industry Act, serve to supply gas and which are designed for a maximum permissible operating pressure of more than 16 bar,
- Underground waste disposal facilities and
- Operating sites with facilities that serve the construction, significant expansion and significant modification of underground cavities.
The locally competent lower immission control authority (district or city administration) is the competent authority for all other industrial sites that do not fall under the regulations described above.
