When is a permit or notification required for environmentally hazardous activities?
A permit or a notification is required for the activities listed in the Environmental Assessment Ordinance, where each type of activity carries a code: A is examined by the Land and Environment Court, B by the county administrative board's review delegation and C is notified to the municipal committee. Activities without a code may be carried out without a permit, but the general rules of consideration still apply in full. Starting a permit-required activity without a permit is an unlawful environmental activity and can lead to an environmental sanction charge or a penalty.
