NHBRC’s approval prior to the installation of services in areas underlain by dolomites/limestones

The Home Builder must submit to the NHBRC a completed form countersigned by the Council for Geoscience, together with the local authority’s risk management statement, duly signed by their chief executive officer, and a report outlining the investigations undertaken and the basis upon which the zone designations are arrived at and a sanitation and storm water plan.  A formal request should be made to present proposals to the Technical Advisory Group of the NHBRC.

The NHBRC will modify the Home Builder of the time and date when he may make that presentation.

The Home Builder and Competent Person is responsible for preparing the submission and the Technical Advisory Group will subject the report and the sanitation water plans to a peer review, confirm or advise of amendments to the zoning and advise the NHBRC of their risk exposure in respect of the application.

The NHBRC shall then decide whether or not to enroll sites within the township, or portion thereof, on an individual site basis or deny enrollment from the outset.
