shallow water table. Test bores were augured to 10 m in the pit area, revealing extensive compacted, low permeable clays underlying coastal dune sands. Pit construction revealed mostly tightly packed sand at the pit bases (approximately 4-5 m below surface). Average annual rainfall for the site is 1,023 mm (taken from the nearby ‘Duffy’ monitoring station). As with the other South Taranaki coastal sites, this site is subject to strong winds.

leachate generation from additional stormwater infiltration. Figure 3 shows ammoniacal nitrogen results since 2005. Some of the higher results (e.g. 2015), can be attributed to heavy rainfall preceding sampling.

aluminium shear and discussions were had with staff regarding minimising tracking to a nearby stormwater sump. 7 Jun 2019 The inspection was carried out after sustained heavy rainfall earlier in the day. The site was operational with casting and powder-coating underway. Small amounts of swarf were noted in the scrap loading yard and some of this had collected on the filter screens installed in the stormwater sumps. Minor ponding was observed in low-lying areas of the yard as a result of the
soil. 1.2.3 Site description The Wellington Landfarm is located on Brown Road, Waitara, on marginal coastal farm land situated on reworked dune fields. The predominant soil type has been identified as black loamy sand. Vegetation growth is primarily a mixture of pasture and dune grasses. Prior to the Wellington property consent (7884-1) being exercised, there were areas of pine (Figure 2) which were subsequently removed and processed. Average annual rainfall for the site is 1,383 mm
compliance monitoring purposes. Hector Place pumping station and the emergency overflow structure were also inspected and found to be in a satisfactory condition. 12 February 2018 An inspection of the WWTP was conducted in fine weather with moderate north westerly wind conditions. The monthly rainfall was measured as 68 mm, recorded at the Kapoaiaia weather station. The influent step screen was operating and wastes were fully contained. The primary pond was a turbid, dark green brown
was being undertaken at the time of the inspection. 18 May 2017 The site was inspected following reasonably heavy rainfall over the previous few days. Ring drains, bunds and skimmer pits had all coped well with the rainfall. No contaminants or silt (suspended solids) were observed in the skimmer pits, water very clean and the discharge area onto land did not give rise to any concerns about water quality from the site. The separator in the truck load out area was clean. No flaring,
deposited sediment was not likely recorded. In the instance of the non-compliant discharge sample, this event followed a period of heavy rainfall with moderate flow in the Kurapete Stream. Relative to the period surrounding the biomonitoring survey, the stream was likely less vulnerable to impacts from the quarry at the time of this discharge. This is reflected in the results from the receiving water samples, which were compliant. Furthermore, observations of the Kurapete Stream noted that the
