Abwassereinleitung in private Abwasseranlagen genehmigen

If you wish to discharge commercial/industrial wastewater into a private wastewater system or sewer system, you generally require a permit.

If you want to discharge wastewater into a private wastewater system, you need a permit. Under certain conditions, the permit requirement does not apply. You apply for the permit from the responsible authority.

Public wastewater facilities are available to the general public, private facilities are available to a restricted group of users, for example companies in a chemical park.

For certain industries and activities (such as the chemical industry, paper production, metal processing, cooling water use), pollutants are to be expected in the wastewater that are not sufficiently purified in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Requirements for this are set out in the sector-specific annexes to the Waste Water Ordinance.

In order to comply with these requirements, special measures and wastewater pre-treatment plants are required to reduce the pollutant load so that the wastewater can then be purified without harm in a public or private wastewater treatment plant.

• Application
• Further required documents depend on the wastewater (industrial wastewater, commercial wastewater) that is to be discharged into the private wastewater system

Approval may only be granted if

• the requirements of the Waste Water Ordinance applicable to the waste water are complied with,
• the private sewage treatment plant can adequately purify the wastewater and
• the wastewater is pre-treated by the discharging company in such a way that the above requirements are met.

The operator of the private sewage plant may impose further requirements .

• You can apply for a permit to discharge wastewater into private wastewater systems at the responsible office.
• You fill out the application form and submit it with all the necessary documents.
• The competent authority will check your application.
• If all the necessary requirements are met, your application can be approved.
• You will receive a permit to discharge wastewater into private wastewater facilities.

In Rhineland-Palatinate, the following applies:

• The responsible structure and approval directorate North or South, explains the approval procedure for indirect discharge.
• You prepare the application documents with the help of a specialist planner and submit them.
• The responsible structure and approval directorate will check your application documents. If necessary, submit the required documents later.
• Your subsequently submitted documents will be checked.
• The approval is drawn up on the basis of the examination and, if necessary, subsequently submitted application documents.
• You will receive a notification of approval for indirect discharge.
• You pay the administration fee.

The processing time depends on the quality and scope of the applications and documents submitted.

It shall be at least three months.

Discharge into a private sewage treatment plant may only take place once the permit has been granted, so that the application for the permit must be made in good time, at least six months before discharge of waste water in a private sewage plant.
