The decision on the reassessment of 1080 was notified in August 2007.
As part of the additional controls imposed by the Authority, a written
report must be submitted to the Authority on all operations involving
the aerial application of 1080. This requirement is in response to the
concerns expressed by many submitters in relation to the aerial
application of 1080 and will provide a central database of information
on aerial 1080 operations.
Details of this control (Additional Control 12) can be found on page 187
of the formal decision document, which can be accessed from the ERMA New
Zealand website:

document outlining the detail of the control requirements.
Please take this opportunity to have your say on the information to be
submitted. A summary of the submissions will be published after the
close of the consultation period.
