The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Trust Board
Landfill remediation and contamination works
Temple View
April – June 2013
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Trust Board
(the Trust Board) has obtained resource consent to remediate the former Temple
View landfill located on the eastern boundary of the former school site. In addition, two Underground Storage Tanks
(USTs) are proposed to be removed and near surface soils in the vicinity of the
former Automotive workshops containing elevated metals will also be excavated. Consents have been obtained from Hamilton
City Council, Waipa District Council and the Waikato Regional Council to
undertake these works.
The contract to undertake the works has been let to Schick
Construction & Cartage Hamilton and Schick plans to begin site set up works
such as fencing during the week commencing
8th April 2013.
Earthworks are expected to start on Tuesday
16th April 2013 and the total contract is expected to take about
ten weeks however this is dependent on weather conditions.
A plan of the former Church College site is attached which shows the extent of
remediation works associated with this specific contract (noted as Stage 1),
and the contractors access route through the site. This plan also identifies the approximate
extent of the remediation activities. The
removal of UST 7 and UST 8 as shown on the attached plan will not involve any
work on the former Automotive workshop itself as consents are required from
Hamilton City Council before this building can be removed.
The landfill works will involve digging through the former
landfill site and sorting the material that is excavated. Material that is verified as being
contaminated will be trucked off site to the Hampton Downs landfill near
Meremere in the North Waikato. Material
that is verified as suitable for reuse will
be placed back in the ground and compacted.
The sorting process will be overseen by a Contaminated Land Specialist
from Tonkin and Taylor in Hamilton who will undertake verification testing of the
materials that are to remain to ensure they meet the appropriate
standards. Excavated soil in the
vicinity of the former Automotive workshop will be removed and taken to Hampton
Downs Landfill as well. All verification
testing results will then be sent to Hamilton City Council, Waipa District
Council and Waikato Regional Council staff.
Please contact Mr Cameron Inder, Engineer to the Contract on
