Description
The "Financial Support for the Remediation of Contaminated Sites" in Baden-Württemberg assists municipal bodies in the investigation and proper remediation of suspected contaminated sites. Funding is provided for both preliminary investigations pursuant to § 9 BBodSchG for risk assessment as well as detailed investigations, remediation planning, and protective and restrictive measures according to §§ 13 and 2 BBodSchG. The grant is awarded as a partial subsidy covering 50% to 100% of eligible expenses and can be increased up to 90% in justified cases—such as for financially weak municipalities or pilot projects. Applications for investigation and remediation-relevant projects can be submitted at any time to the responsible regional administrative authorities; required documents include the application according to FrAl Template 1, project description, cost and financing plan, as well as proof of expenditure.
The objective of the funding is to identify and eliminate hazards to humans and the environment, combined with a reduction of land consumption through the restoration and reuse of contaminated properties. Eligible applicants are municipalities, districts, special-purpose associations, and administrative communities that can demonstrate a regulatory obligation to issue a hazard prevention order pursuant to § 4 BBodSchG. Eligible expenses include, among others, drilling, chemical-physical analyses, remediation planning, technical measures, and long-term monitoring (MNA). Evaluation criteria include hazard prevention, cost-effectiveness, as well as regional significance and reuse prospects.
