Outline

• Relationship with Territorial Authorities
• Contaminated Land Management Guidelines No.4
• SLUR Accessibility
• SLUR Inclusion and Reclassification Processes
• Monthly Site Review Project
• Difficulties
• National Data Consistency

What is the SLUR?

• Register of sites that have been occupied by

the storage, use or disposal of hazardous substances.

• Hazardous Activities and Industries List

(2011) established by the Ministry for the Environment

• The current SLUR database was

established in 1998

Why does GWRC hold the SLUR?

• Regional Council functions under

Section 30(1)(ca) of the Resource Management Act .1991

• Held on behalf of the eight Territorial

Authorities in the region

• Territorial Authorities Section 31 (b)

(iia)

NESCS National Environmental Standards for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health (2012)

NESCS

• Administered by the Territorial Authorities

(TA’s)

• Triggered by a HAIL activity (current or

historic) on a ‘piece of land’

• NESCS requires that investigations be

undertaken if soil is to be disturbed

• The SLUR is consulted to confirm whether
• r not a site is already recorded

New Site Inclusion

1941 1941

Sites are released and appear on the external services Property owners are sent a notification letter Approved sites are entered onto the SLUR Reviewed by Suitably Qualified and Experienced Practitioner Information gathered and prepared Site Identified

Site Updates and Amendments

• Common updates include:
• Site History Comments
• SLUR Category
• Property details
• HAIL categories

Identify error Create file note Review Complete update

Monthly Site Review Project

• Ongoing process to improve the

quality of data available on the register

• 10 SLUR Sites are reviewed per

month since August 2015

• 270 sites have been reviewed to date

Difficulties

• Not all HAIL sites are currently

included on the SLUR

• Not all site investigation reports are

provided for the SLUR

• Subdivision of properties entered on

the register
