The document is a press release by the State Administration Office of Saxony-Anhalt with the title "Discharge permit for CIECH Soda Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG limited to 8 years and subject to conditions."

These conditions are a decrease in contaminants, beginning in 2026 and that the company has to present a method to process the waste water more efficiently till mid 2023.
The documents shows that the State Administration Office of Saxony-Anhalt does not seek to punish CIECH Soda for violations of pollution limits and instead only requires them to slightly reduce pollutants over a relatively long timeframe. It thereby enables CIECH Soda to carry on with business as usual.
