The Administrative Court of Finland revoked the Regional Administrative Agency's decision to approve a temporary operation permit for an accumulator material plant. The court found that the proposed waste water treatment activity, intended to be a short-term trial, actually required a full environmental permit under the Environmental Protection Act. Consequently, the court ruled that the operation could not be classified as a temporary activity exempt from licensing.

Aluehallintovirasto oli hyväksynyt akkumateriaalitehtaan koeluonteista toimintaa koskevan ilmoituksen. Päätökseen oli liitetty määräykset 1 - 13.

Hallinto-oikeudessa oli yhdistysten valituksesta ensin ratkaistava, oliko ilmoitus koeluonteisesta lyhytaikaisesta toiminnasta voitu hyväksyä ympäristönsuojelulain 31 §:n 1 momentin mukaisessa ilmoitusmenettelyssä vai edellyttikö toiminnan harjoittaminen ympäristöluvan.

Koeluonteista toimintaa koskeva ilmoitus liittyi akkumateriaalitehtaan tuotannossa eli metallioksidien valmistuksessa muodostuvien jätevesien puhdistamiseen toisen toiminnanharjoittajan laitoksella. Akkumateriaalitehtaan tavanomainen toiminta oli suunniteltu aloitettavaksi suunniteltua tuotantokapasiteettia pienemmällä tuotantomäärällä.

Hallinto-oikeus kumosi aluehallintoviraston päätöksen ja hylkäsi ilmoituksen koeluonteisesta toiminnasta.

Sovelletut säännökset: ympäristönsuojelulaki 27 §:n 1 mom. ja 31 §:n 1 mom.
