WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED
• Question: Groundwater
• 1. How does EQC calculate land damage caused by the post-earthquake rise in groundwater levels?
The effect of shallower groundwater is potentially a thinner non-liquefying crust. Where there has been a material increase in liquefaction vulnerability caused by the Canterbury earthquakes, this is addressed by the Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV) land damage assessment.
Further, the effect of being at a lower height relative to sea level is potentially an increase in the flooding vulnerability of the land. Where there has been a material increase in flooding vulnerability
caused by the Canterbury earthquakes, this is addressed in the Increased Flooding Vulnerability (IFV) land damage assessment.
• EQC has begun settling claims which include IFV land damage and expects to have completed the majority of these settlements by early 2016.
• Land claims which include ILV land damage will start to be settled once the ILV Policy is finalised.
• This is expected to occur in September 2015. This means ILV claim settlement is likely to continue during 2016.
ECAN
ECAN is supposed to have maps for erosion risk along the estuary.
According to the information from Ecan today. The land seen here pre- and post earthquake is not subject to erosion risk.
ECAN
Ecan briefly published this map on their website last year.
It is not published any longer. Their reply today navigated me to a map without any erosion hazards
Statue of Limitations• I am not a legal expert. This is a matter for the Lawyers
• The Law Community has expressed concerns about this.
• We have asked EQC to provide explanations to the public. This issue can not be silenced.
• Duncan – are you able to explain this matter and the consequences if EQC does not conclude the land claim settlement before Sept 2016?
