at your municipality, province, or water authority
You have to apply for an OBM if:
- your business activities are covered by 1 of the OBM categories (in Dutch), for example waste, keeping animals, or materials processing
- if an environmental impact assessment (MER) is mandatory for you, but the assessment indicates that you do not need to do a further MER.
The provincial authorities will determine if your company’s activity fits the intended location.
You can check if you need an OBM for your activity with the Activities Decree online module (Activiteitenbesluit Internet Module, AIM).
