production station, inspections
and sampling of the receiving waters did not reveal any adverse effects on the Waitara River
or Mangahewa Stream.
Biomonitoring in the Mangahewa Stream showed that while the community health at the
upstream site continued to improve, the downstream site did not follow a similar trend. This
may be related to the historical hydrocarbon contamination present in the stream sediment.
Sampling of the sediments in the period under review found no detectable hydrocarbons
defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may arise in relation to:
a. the neighbourhood or the wider community around an activity, and may include cultural and social-
economic effects;
b. physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual effects;
c. ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or habitats, whether aquatic or terrestrial;
d. natural and physical resources having special significance
to the distance of the wellsite to the nearest stream being approximately 30m, the
stream was visually inspected by an Inspecting Officer on each occasion. Chemical analysis or
a bio-monitoring survey were un-necessary as no evidence of effects on the stream
environment were observed by the Inspecting Officer.
Staff on-site were cooperative with requests made by officers of the Council, with any required
works being completed quickly and to a satisfactory standard.
During the monitoring
Site inspections found that the stormwater systems were constructed and maintained in
accordance with consent conditions and were operating effectively.
There were no adverse effects on the environment resulting from the exercise of the air
discharge consents. The ambient air quality monitoring at the site showed that levels of carbon
monoxide, combustible gases, PM10 particulates and nitrogen oxides were all below levels of
concern at the time of sampling. No offensive or objectionable
the Te Kiri
North-A wellsite. There were no Unauthorised Incidents recording non-compliance in respect of this
consent holder during the period under review. No gas combustion associated with hydrocarbon
exploration activities was carried out at the site during this period.
During the year, the Company demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance
with the resource consents. During the year under review there were no significant issues with silt or
sediment

The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review was comprised of two
inspections, assessing the types of materials being received and how the discharge to land is
being managed.
During the year, the consent holder demonstrated a high level of environmental performance
and a high level of administrative performance. There were no incidents logged or complaints
received by Council about the site during the period under review.
RMA primarily addresses environmental `effects' which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may arise in relation to:
a. the neighbourhood or the wider community around a discharger, and may include cultural and
socio-economic effects;
b. physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual effects;
c. ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or habitats, whether aquatic or terrestrial;
interpretation, and their significance for the environment.
Section 4 presents recommendations to be implemented in the 2017-2018 monitoring year.
