There is also abundant literature on the rehabilitation of soft rock (sand and gravel) quarries (Lucas, 1973; Botham, 1983; Fulton 1989; Leslie, 1990). There is, however, little on the rehabilitation of New Zealand's hard rock quarries. This report describes and evaluates the rehabilitation of Halswell Quarry in Christchurch. Part I briefly discusses the practice of rehabilitating hard rock quarries, much of which is applicable to soft rock quarries and mineral extraction sites in general. Part II introduces Halswell Quarry, describing its physical state and reviewing its history. The rehabilitation programme is described in Part III and evaluated in Part IV. A glossary of terms, and additional information can be found in the appendices. PART 1 - GEIfERAL REHABILITATION 1 INTRODUCTION Quarrying involves the extraction and processing of earth materials. This necessarily causes land disturbance which disrupts the ecological components of the environment (water, Page 2 soil, plants and organisms) and destroys the complex interactions between them. The aim of rehabilitation is to create a physical condition which will allow natural processes to re-establish an ecological balance. It is generally impossible to return a site to its original condition because of the permanent removal of material during quarrying. It is therefore the task of the rehabilitator to plan, design and implement a programme that creates a new, and possibly improved, landscape that is ecologically sound, environmentally appropriate and of some use to people. 2 TERMINOLOGY This report deals principally with the rehabilitation of hard rock quarries. Jones (1974, p1) defined a quarry as an "excavation open to daylight from which material is won from the earth to use either in the excavated form or after some on-site processing". This discussion is equally applicable to the rehabilitation of mine sites, as much of what applies to the rehabilitation of quarries is also relevant to mining. Restoration, rehabilitation and reclamation are terms commonly used in discussions relating to derelict and degraded land, industrial areas and mineral extraction sites. Generally they describe an action that changes, and possibly improves, the site concerned. There is considerable confusion over the meaning of these terms, so it is important that they be clarified. Page 3 Restoration implies that once the disturbing action ceases, the condition of the site (topography, vegetation cover, drainage, soil fertility) before the disturbance will be reproduced. This will enable the land to be used in the same way as previously. However, because of the extractive nature of the industry (mining, quarrying, dredging), restoration is rarely, if ever, possible (Law, 1984). Reclamation is generally used to mean returning land from an abandoned or derelict state to one that is visually acceptable, safe and of some use. Reclamation is often equated with revegetation. This is a reasonable assumption given that plants control erosion, help return soil to a useful state and are generally regarded by most as aesthetically pleasing. However, revegetation may not always be an appropriate option, particularly if it conflicts with nearby landuses. Kluesing and Salustro (1987) emphasise the importance of reclamation in disguising the negative visual impacts, as well as creating positive results from re-using land and preserving site history and character. Law (1984) included in his definition of reclamation a requirement that the post-disturbance site be habitable by organisms present originally or by others similar. This definition is somewhat narrow and restrictive, and is more akin to restoration. Rehabilitation means to return land to a form and condition that permits a use different from that which existed previously (Down and stocks, 1978). Law (1984) suggests that the use conforms to a prior landuse plan, is ecologically stable and is consistent with surrounding aesthetic values.

A man moved into a house that had been empty for months, and the garden was horribly overgrown and a shambles. But he got busy and in weeks he had transformed the place, so that there were beautiful flowers, lovely shrubs and tidy lawns – a real picture. He was working in it one day when the Minister went past, and he stopped and complimented the man. The man then began to brag that he had done this and he had done that, till the Minister thought he needed taking down a peg or two.
