Project description: The operators of the zinc smelter planned to increase the production capacity of the plant. As part of the increase in production capacity, modifications and additional equipment were to be added. The aim was not to increase the emissions emanating from the plant in the process. The planned expansion required a permit according to the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) including an environmental impact assessment according to the Environmental Impact Assessment Act (UVPG).
