Submit an air pollution control measurement report on continuous measurements of air pollutants from medium-sized combustion plants in accordance with the 44th BImSchV
If you operate a medium-sized combustion plant, gas turbine or internal combustion engine plant, you must determine pollutant emissions by means of continuous measurements under certain conditions.
You must prepare a measurement report on the results of the measurements for each calendar year and send this to the immission control authority responsible for you by the deadline.

Responsible authority
Responsibilities in the field of immission control are governed by the Immission Control Responsibilities Ordinance (ImSchZuVO) of the State of Baden-Württemberg.
The competent authority for installations falling under the Forty-fourth Ordinance on the Implementation of the Federal Immission Control Act (44th BImSchV) is, in most cases, the locally competent lower immission control authority, that is to say
- the district office, if the site on which the installation is located is within a district,
- the city council, if the site on which the installation is located is within a city district.
A different system of jurisdiction applies in the following cases (including, amongst others, establishments subject to the European Industrial Emissions Directive, the Major Accidents Ordinance or mining law):
Department 5 (Environment) of the relevant regional council is the competent air pollution control authority for premises on which
- at least one installation, marked with the letter E in column d of Annex 1 to the Ordinance on Installations Requiring Authorisation,
- at least one operational area as defined in Section 3(5a) of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) (major-accident establishment),
- at least one installation requiring authorisation under Section 60(3), first sentence, point 2 or point 3 of the Water Resources Act (WHG); or
- at least one landfill site in accordance with Article 10 in conjunction with Annex I to 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
exists or is to be constructed.
Department 9 of the State Office for Geology, Raw Materials and Mining at the Freiburg Regional Council is also the competent state-wide air pollution control authority for
- operating sites, including the installations and activities located thereon that are subject to mining supervision,
- premises with cable cars and funicular railways used for passenger transport,
- premises with high-pressure gas pipelines which, as energy installations within the meaning of the Energy Industry Act, serve to supply gas and are designed for a maximum permissible operating pressure of more than 16 bar,
- facilities for underground waste disposal; and
- Premises with installations used for the creation, substantial extension or substantial alteration of underground cavities.
