Request the proposed RMA resource consent application be publically notified for the pesticide factory producing 1080 poison bait, in the Izone, Rolleston.

Request the proposed RMA resource consent application be publically notified for the pesticide factory producing 1080 poison bait, in the Izone, Rolleston.

The issue

1080 poison is dangerous to all air breathing animals. It is banned in many countries. It is an inhumane and indiscriminate poison. If made in the Izone is has the potential to poison our acquifers and any airborne particles could blow on the predominantly nor-west winds over the local primary school and most of the town.

The petition highlights the concern of the community towards this hazard. Please sign the petition. Bear in mind that the risks are: 1. Risks to employees (local people) at the factory. 2. Risks to employees families if they take it home in their hair and clothing. 3. Risk to contaminated ground water. 4. Risk to contaminating the water race that runs along Hoskins road, right past Rolleston school, down Tennison st and though into the dog park. 5. Risks to our local schools and homes because the factory will be in the Nor West wind path from the town. 6. Risks to anyone in the area keeping bee hives.
