Plan to control quarry<br />
dust with water criticised<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
WATER CANONS and<br />
carts could be used to<br />
control dust emissions at<br />
Fulton Hogan’s proposed<br />
quarry near Weedons and<br />
Templeton.<br />
Details on dust and air<br />
quality featured in a<br />
54-page document<br />
presented to Environment<br />
Canterbury and the Selwyn<br />
District Council last week.<br />
<strong>The</strong> information was<br />
provided after the regional<br />
and district councils<br />
requested more details<br />
about Fulton Hogan’s plans<br />
to quarry at a 170ha<br />
site bordered by<br />
Curraghs, Dawsons,<br />
Jones and Maddisons<br />
Rds.<br />
Quarry opponent<br />
Simon Moore said<br />
using water canons<br />
and carts would be a<br />
waste of water.<br />
Mr Moore is still<br />
against the idea of a<br />
quarry near Weedons and<br />
Templeton.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y are going to<br />
require a huge amount of<br />
water to do that [mitigate<br />
dust],” he said.<br />

ISSUE: <strong>The</strong> site of Fulton Hogan’s proposed<br />
quarry near Weedons and Templeton.<br />
Dust from trucks is also<br />
another issue for quarry<br />
opponents.<br />
Mr Moore referred<br />
to trucks leaving<br />
the Miners Rd<br />
quarry to highlight<br />
concerns over dust<br />
from trucks.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> issue is<br />
when trucks leave<br />
the quarry, they’ve<br />
been water blasted,<br />
and as they go onto<br />
the road, they’re<br />
leaving deposits of dirt on<br />
the road. And as it drives<br />
that turns into dust,” Mr<br />
Moore said.<br />
“Thursday morning after<br />
a heavy dew, I was going<br />
past there [Miners Rd<br />
news online a<br />
quarry] at nine o’clock in<br />
the morning and you could<br />
hardly see the trucks on the<br />
road for the dust coming<br />
off the road,” he said.<br />
Mr Moore said “millions”<br />
of litres of water would be<br />
wasted on dust mitigation<br />
if the quarry is approved.<br />
Fulton Hogan also<br />
addressed questions about<br />
traffic to and from the<br />
proposed quarry.<br />
Based on modelling,<br />
it said most of the traffic<br />
would be<br />
east-bound to and from<br />
Christchurch.<br />
Stage two of the $195<br />
million of the Southern<br />
Motorway is anticipated to<br />
carry most of the traffic.<br />
