the waste and surrounding soil by Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) revealed trichlorophenol (TCP), tetrachlorobenzene (TCB) and dioxin contamination (2,3,7,8-TCDD) within the waste. Small concentrations of some other organic pesticide compounds (including the organophosphate insecticide dichlofenthion) were also detected but these are not of concern at the concentrations found. The crushed drums and a large amount of surrounding soil (about 210 m3) were removed to secure
the requirements that the Company must satisfy. The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included nine inspections, and collection of three soil samples, four surface water and ten groundwater samples, in addition to a review of monitoring data received from the Company. The monitoring showed that during the early part of the year there were temporary and insignificant impacts on localised groundwater in proximity to the stockpiling facilities, due to the initial
radioactivity assessment, and reviews of monitoring data received from the Company. For the particular activities covered by consent 7884-1, the programme further included: a) the collection of five soil samples and four surface water samples (two upstream and two downstream of the storage areas) in 2011-2012, and b) the collection of four composite soil samples from spreading areas and fifteen groundwater samples from monitoring wells collected for physicochemical analysis, further
effects of the Company’s activities. The Company holds one resource consent, which includes a total of 27 conditions setting out the requirements that the Company must satisfy. This consent allows for the discharge of drilling waste onto and into land. The Council’s monitoring programme for the period under review included eighteen inspections, collection of two composite soil samples, one additional soil sample, sixteen groundwater samples, data review, and on-going liaison with the

indicated that the areas utilised for the practice of landfarming had generally met their conditional limit for surrender with only one parameter above the surrender limit. Sodium concentrations within the soil were elevated above the conditional surrender limit of 460 mg/kg, with the most elevated concentration at 550 mg/kg. All other analytes were below their limit as specified by the consent. The rationale for allowing the areas to be surrendered, despite the elevated sodium concentrations,
conditions setting out the requirements that the Company must satisfy. The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included 12 inspections, the collection of two soil samples and ten groundwater samples, and the review of monitoring data received from the Company. The monitoring indicated that there appears to be no adverse environmental effects due to activities at the site. Concentrations of contaminants in the surface soil meet the required consent conditions and

The reviews of the freshwater and soil plans are ongoing. Focus is on developing and combined provisions into a new Natural Resources Plan that incorporates feedback on an earlier draft Plan, incorporates the findings of more recent engagement and
