EIA - Preliminary procedure (scoping)
Short description
General information
Before launching an approval procedure ( EIA procedure or simplified procedure ) the project applicant can launch an application to carry out a preliminary procedure (scoping).
This procedure takes place on a voluntary basis and serves to support the more detailed specification of the contents of the Environmental Impact Statement.
The investor service anchored in the Umweltverträglichkeitsprüfungsgesetz (Federal Act on Environmental Impact Assessment – UVP-G) provides that information available at the authority can be made available to the project applicant for the preparation of the project. Environmental data available in electronic form must be made accessible.
