Initial status report for a foundry in Hanover

Initial status report for a foundry in Hanover

According to § 3 of the 4th BImSchV, Leichtmetall Aluminium Giesserei Hannover GmbH is a plant that falls under the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED Directive). As part of the authorisation procedure for the approval of a new raw material storage facility, the preparation of an initial status report (AZB) was required.

In the period from June to September 2016, the Hanover branch of Mull und Partner Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH prepared an AZB for soil and groundwater for this plant site.

Relevance assessment: Basis for plant-related soil and groundwater protection

The substances used, produced or released on the plant site were assessed in terms of their material hazard and their quantities, and possible exceptions and the spatial conditions were reviewed.

As a result, it was not necessary to carry out new soil and groundwater investigations in this case and the AZB was finalised at this point.
