Environmental permits in the City of Helsinki.
The Environmental Protection Act defines the activities that require an environmental permit. The Environmental Protection Decree, on the other hand, determines whether the permit is granted by the Regional State Administrative Agency (AVI) or the municipal environmental protection authority, which in Helsinki is the Environment Committee. The data set contains only valid permits and registrations.
