about discharge of dust from the site. New Zealand Police were also notified
of the dust discharges due to the reduced visibility that motorists were experiencing
when commuting past the site.
[33] In response to the complaints, a Council Enforcement Officer undertook an
inspection of the site. A series of photographs and videos were taken by Council
Enforcement Officers and complainants. At the time of the inspection the weather was
clear, with no rainfall and a medium

numbers up to 20,000/m2 but typically 5–10,000/m2 under light infestations.
YBG occurs in areas with adequate summer rainfall, usually where the annual rainfall
exceeds 500 mm per annum, although it can tolerate dry conditions once

The increase in the proportion of farmland used for dairying was most pronounced in
Canterbury and Southland.
The report notes that climate change is already affecting New Zealand’s land systems and
that we can expect ‘severe effects on land and human systems from long-term changes and
increased frequency of intense rainfall events.’ Some of the effects noted in the report include
changes to the suitability of land for horticulture and
potential that during rainfall runoff will pick up small amounts of hydrocarbons
and silt due to the nature of the activities on site;
• Stormwater which collects in the area surrounding the drilling platform and
ancillary drilling equipment. This stormwater has a higher likelihood of contact
with potential contaminants, particularly drilling mud;
• Produced water which flows from the producing formation and is separated
from the gas and liquid phase at the surface; and
• Drill cuttings,
