Selected Land Use Register (SLUR) - Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL)The Hawkes Bay Regional Councils Selected Land Use Register (SLUR) holds information about sites that have been used historically, or are currently used for activities, which have the potential to have caused contamination from hazardous substance use, storage or disposal. The SLUR statement indicates the location of the land parcel(s) you enquired about and provides information regarding any listed sites that intersect your parcel.If one of the activities listed in the Hazardous Activities and Industries List is occurring, or has occurred in the past, on a piece of land, then it is considered a ‘HAIL’ site. If one of the activities listed in the Hazardous Activities and Industries List is occurring, or has occurred in the past, on a piece of land, then it is considered a ‘HAIL’ site. Hail sites are categorised differently depending on what we know about the site;· Verified HAIL - At or Below Background (Natural State/Remediated): The site has been investigated or remediated. The investigation or post remediation validation results confirm there are no hazardous substances above local background concentrations other than those that occur naturally in the area. The investigation or validation sampling has been sufficiently detailed to characterise the site.Please note that if a property is not currently entered on the Register, it does not mean that an activity with the potential to cause contamination has never occurred or is not currently occurring there. The Register is not complete, and new sites are regularly being added as we receive new information and conduct our own investigations into current and historic land uses.The Selected Land Use Register only contains information held by Hawkes Bay Regional Council in relation to hazardous activities and industries; other information relevant to potential contamination may be held in other files (for example consent and enforcement files) or held by district or city councils.If the property is rural, please note that many current and past activities undertaken on farms may not be listed on the Register. Activities such as the storage, formulation and disposal of pesticides, use of offal pits, foot rot troughs, animal dips, and underground or above ground fuel tanks have the potential to cause contamination.If land has been identified as a HAIL site, it does not mean that it is contaminated, only that it has been used for an activity that could have resulted in contamination.
