Funding Area Contaminated Sites

The state of Baden-Württemberg provides a continuously available grant within the scope of the contaminated sites funding area, which is aimed equally at public institutions, private individuals, and companies. The objective of the measure is the thorough investigation, assessment, and remediation of contaminated sites within the state. Through professionally justified concepts, soil investigations, expert services, and concrete remediation measures can be funded to restore environmentally sound soil use and prevent hazards to humans and the environment. Applicants must demonstrate that the project is located on a property in Baden-Württemberg and that they act as owners or legally responsible parties, as well as submit a detailed investigation or remediation concept. Funding is provided in the form of a grant and complements own contributions and third-party funds.

Eligible costs include, among others, expenses for soil surveys, planning and expert fees, as well as costs for the actual remediation of contaminated sites. For a complete application, a written application with a site description, the technical concept, and a cost and financing plan must be submitted. Applications can be submitted continuously, allowing project proposals to be assessed for funding eligibility promptly. Interested sponsors and owners thus receive reliable support in the remediation of contaminated sites and actively contribute to the protection of soil, water, and climate in Baden-Württemberg.
