What Environmental Liability Act (Umwelthaftungsgesetz - UmweltHG) requires
This Act imposes strict liability on the operator of a listed installation for death, personal injury or property damage caused by an environmental impact emanating from the installation (Section 1), including from installations no longer in operation (Section 2). It defines environmental impact and related terms (Section 3), provides defined exclusions and limitation of liability for property damage (Sections 4 and 5), and creates a rebuttable presumption that the installation caused the damage where it is inherently suited to cause that damage (Section 6), subject to exclusion of the presumption (Section 7). It grants rights to information (Sections 8 to 10), sets the extent of liability for death and bodily injury (Sections 12 and 13), a maximum amount of compensation (Section 15), and requires operators of installations listed in Annex 2 to maintain financial security to meet liabilities (Section 19).
