The Administrative Court of Finland dismissed the applicant's appeal against the Regional Administrative Board's decision setting emission limits for wastewater from waste incineration flue gas desulfurization. The applicant argued that the Board failed to properly assess the environmental impact of discharging untreated wastewater from the desulfurization process into the municipal sewer system. The court upheld the Board's decision, ruling that the statutory limits were appropriate given the specific technical conditions and the legal framework governing waste incineration and environmental protection.
