Requests for data from the Bavarian register of contaminated sites should be addressed to the local district administrative authorities.

The responsible district administrative authority can provide you with information on so-called suspected contaminated sites or contaminated sites. These are areas that may pose a risk to people or the environment due to harmful soil changes as defined by the Federal Soil Protection Act.

Areas suspected of being contaminated can be, for example, former waste disposal sites (old landfills) and land formerly used for industrial or commercial purposes (old sites) where environmentally hazardous substances have been handled.

Initial information on suspected contaminated sites and contaminated sites can be obtained online via public access using the online procedure "ABuDIS - Contaminated Sites, Soil Protection and Data Information System".

For detailed information on contaminated sites, please contact the district administrative authority responsible for you.

• Owner: Proof of ownership (declaration of ownership or copy of land register extract)
• for non-owners: power of attorney or declaration of consent from the owner of the land (if not submitted, the authority must hear the owner)
• Excerpt from cadastral map or location map

The disclosure of the information must not conflict with any legally protected interests of others.

If you are not the owner of the property for which you are requesting information from the register of contaminated sites, you must enclose a power of attorney from the property owner with the request.

The fees depend on the administrative effort involved.

The provision of verbal and simple written information, the inspection of environmental information on site, measures and precautions as well as informing the public are free of charge.

The application for information from the register of contaminated sites can be made informally. It must include the postal address and details of the district, parcel and plot, as well as the required documents.

In the case of cross-district inquiries about contaminated sites and suspected contaminated sites, an application for information can also be submitted to the State Office for the Environment.
