The site was neat and tidy. No flaring was occurring at the time of inspection. The ring
drains and bunds were clear of obstructions and contaminants. The skimmer pits were

satisfactory.

Inspection was undertaken during heavy rainfall resulting in
environmental effects if it was buried with the green waste rather than being removed.
During the year under review no unacceptable material was dumped at the Patea Beach green waste
discharge site. There has been no leachate observed discharging from the sand dune area or the stockpiled
green waste during the period under review, or in previous years. These factors, combined with the sandy
substrate and low rainfall at the beach would be restricting the production of leachate from the green
waste.

The following was found during the inspections:
6 July 2022
Turangi Production Station: The level in the skimmer pits were above the discharge pipe after heavy rainfall
overnight. The valves had been shut to prevent discharge and to allow for sediment to settle out. The
discharge point looked good with no adverse effects observed in the area or downstream. It was noted that
a pump was located alongside the stream for the taking of water. A drip tray was located under the pump,
The site was
found to be generally well maintained and tidy during inspections, and all consent conditions were being
complied with. No objectionable dust or odour effects were observed, bunding was well maintained and site
contouring was adequately directing all quarry runoff to the stormwater settlement ponds. Discharges after
heavy rainfall were clear.

It was found that all materials at the site were permitted by the conditions of the consent. It mostly
consisted of broken concrete. There had been recent heavy rainfall resulting in only a few small puddles,
with no run off observed. There were no matters of concern to note during the inspection. In the
composting area it was found that the site remained well bunded with only some puddles present …
