The National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil to Protect Human Health came into effect on 1 January 2012.
This standard applies to any piece of land on which an activity or industry described in the current edition of the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) is, has been, or is more likely than not to have been undertaken.
Council has included notes in the rules sections of the Grey District Plan to enable the Council to implement the national regulation and updated relevant Council checklists and application forms to reflect the requirements of the regulation.
