B-1 - Area 1, Coromandel Forest Park – Assessment of Environmental Effects 58 Activity Relevant rules and activity status Comment Accessing the ventilation shaft sites by helicopter; Installation of signage; and Rehabilitation and closure activities. The clearance of indigenous vegetation within an SNA for the establishment of up to four ventilation shafts within Area 1. Non-complying activity under rule 6.2.5.6(1)(a). Clearance of SNA vegetation (T13P152) is required to establish up to four ventilation shafts. The clearance of a SNA of national or international significance requires resource consent as a noncomplying activity. The storage, use and disposal of hazardous substances within Area 1. Non-complying activity under rule 7.7.10(1)(a) and rule 7.7.10(1)(b). The underground magazine will involve the storage and use of hazardous substances (including explosives). The grout and shotcrete that will be used to seal the tunnel in places, and the cementitious ground and concrete used to rehabilitate shafts, are also classified as hazardous substances. The Conservation (Indigenous Forest) Zone is not identified in the Hazardous Facilities Screening Procedure (“HFSP”) Consent Status Matrix. Resource consent is therefore required as a noncomplying activity. Some of the rock from the WRS, which is used to backfill stopes, will also be potentially acid forming (“PAF”) and constitute disposal of a hazardous substance. Facilities for the disposal of a hazardous substance are a non-complying activity in all zones except for the Rural zone.
