The duties of the municipal environmental protection authority include performing the environmental protection authority duties defined in many laws and promoting environmental protection in general. The authority duties include, among other things, processing notifications and applications related to environmental protection and various supervisory tasks. In addition, the municipal environmental protection authority participates in the decision-making of the Licensing and Supervision Agency, for example by issuing statements.
Notifications and applications to the municipality's environmental protection authority include e.g.
-
- land permit application
- environmental permit application
- notification according to the general notification procedure of the Environmental Protection Act
- registration of activities in the environmental protection information system
- noise notification according to the Environmental Protection Act
- Notifications according to the nitrates regulation (breakthrough notification, notification of manure application in exceptional circumstances)
- notifications according to environmental protection regulations
- exemption applications according to the Water Supply Act
- application according to Section 30 of the Land Transport Act
- application according to Section 106 of the Water Transport Act
- written initiations in matters under the competence of the environmental protection authority
Official duties also include, for example, monitoring of the Waste Act, matters related to soil protection and monitoring of regulations issued under the Environmental Protection Act. The environmental protection authority's tasks include promotion tasks related to, for example, groundwater and surface water protection, waste management, air quality and planning. In many respects, promotion and authority tasks also overlap, because, for example, groundwater protection plays a major role in the supervision of operators subject to environmental permits, and the supervision of the nitrate regulation is related to water protection.
Decisions regarding regional environmental matters are made by the regional administrative agencies: the Finnish Licensing and Supervision Agency, the Finnish Energy Agency and the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (TUKES).
