• Authorisations for the protection and conservation of cultural heritage and the historical heritage of the First World War (Provincial Law no. 1 of 17 February 2003);
• Authorisation for wastewater reuse in environmental matrices;

• Authorisations for the construction and operation of thermoelectric power plants pertaining to the Province;

• adhere to general authorisations (atmospheric emissions);

even if other measures provided for by Provincial Law 19/2013 are required.

The duration of the AUT is 15 years (except for shorter periods provided for within the same measure).

Following the issuance of an AUT it is possible to request its takeover (see the specifications in the service sheet "Request the takeover of a Single Territorial Authorisation(AUT)") or its modification (see the specifications in the service sheet "Request the modification of a Single Territorial Authorisation (AUT)").

The application may be submitted by the legal representative of the company or his delegate (by attaching a written power of attorney to the application); if the application is completed by a third person, it must still be signed by the legal representative of the company or his delegate.

Directions for the AUT application

The documentation to be submitted depends on the authorisation requested among those included in the AUT. The various forms, specific to the various provincial services and the municipality, must be downloaded by the applicant from the relevant institutional websites, then filled in, saved in .pdf format and finally entered into the programme in the appropriate section.

The forms to be submitted for discharges, emissions and waste are available in the appropriate section 'Forms'.

ATTENTION: In order to choose the correct form in the "Forms" section, look at the abbreviations put in brackets as the same form can be used in several procedures. For example the "Allegato autorizzazione emissioni in atmosfera - impianti termici (AUT A.1 AIA C.1)" can be used in the AUT procedure as Form A.1 or in the AIA procedure as Form C.1.
