Selected Land Use

Since 1992, the Council has identified and investigated sites in the region that have the potential to be contaminated. There are 1,386 sites included in the existing database, known as the Register of Selected Land Use (RSLU). The majority of these sites are in urban areas where commercial and industrial activities tend to be located, with the highest concentration in the Port Taranaki commercial area. The Ministry for the Environment (MfE) has compiled a Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) of 52 specific land uses that can potentially cause contamination. Sites that may be contaminated include landfills, timber treatment sites, scrap yards, service stations and motor vehicle workshops, bulk chemical storage areas and metal foundries. The TRC database contains sites where there have been investigations into soil contamination as well as sites where activities on the HAIL are known to have occurred.自1992年起，该委员会便对本区域内具备潜在污染风险的场地开展识别与调查工作。现有数据库中共收录1386处场地，该数据库名为选定土地使用登记册（Register of Selected Land Use，RSLU）。其中绝大多数场地位于商业与工业活动集中的城区，塔拉拉基港（Port Taranaki）商业区的场地分布最为密集。环境部（Ministry for the Environment，MfE）编制了一份包含52种潜在污染性特定土地用途的危险活动与行业清单（Hazardous Activities and Industries List，HAIL）。潜在受污染场地包括垃圾填埋场、木材处理场地、废金属堆场、加油站、机动车维修厂、散装化学品存储区以及金属铸造厂。本TRC数据库收录的场地，既涵盖已开展土壤污染调查的场地，也包括已知开展过HAIL清单所列活动的场地。
