In Germany the exploration of
prospective geological structures for underground
storage, as well as the design, construction, maintenance,
modernization, operation and abandonment of underground
storage facilities are subject to the Federal Mining
Law of the FRG. According to this law, each investor
is obliged to issue work plans in which the scheduled
measures and their impact on the local population,
the environment and mining safety are described in
varying degrees of detail. In the approval procedure,
the responsible Area Mining Authority, in consultation
with all other relevant authorities, local communities
and bodies of public interest, checks and - if they
are acceptable - approves these work plans.

 UGS
has extensive experience in the preparation of work
plans and the obtaining of any necessary permissions
and approvals. We are also happy to pass this experience
on to our clients.
UGS is aware that, in some other countries, other
approaches - sometimes even completely different ones
- may apply with respect to permissions and approvals
for underground storage projects and any work connected
with this. Where this is the case, UGS is willing
to provide any necessary technical support in filing
applications with the relevant authorities and also
offers their assistance in any necessary discussions.
