Groundwater
The regional groundwater depth is in the order of 12 to
20 m below ground level towards Rolleston, becoming
gradually shallower with proximity to the city and
measuring 3 to 5 m below ground level at the Springs
Road junction. The gradient is generally towards the
south east, reflecting the same gradient as ground levels
across the same area. No artesian water was
encountered during project investigations.

Ground
Contamination
No contamination issues were identified within the
designation of the alignment. Contaminated soils
outside of the designated alignment were encountered at
the former Southbridge Branch Rail Line and former
gravel pit north of the alignment near Springs Road. The
north east corner of Main South Road and Curraghs Road
is recorded on the Canterbury Regional Council (ECan)
Listed Land Use Register (LLUR) as a landfill site (site no.
3789).

Archaeology,
Culture and
Heritage
There are two recorded archaeological sites of Māori
origin in the general vicinity of the Project area, both of
which were middens/ovens. These indicate that Māori
people were passing through this area, possibly on their
way to Banks Peninsula or Lake Ellesmere where
important resources were present. There is little
evidence to suggest there were any settlements in the
area.
