Patea catchments as a result of quarry operations.
Both quarry sites appeared to be well maintained and managed with regard

Receiving water inspections and sampling showed that the discharges
were not causing any adverse effects on the Waitara River or Mangahewa Stream at the time
of monitoring.
Biomonitoring in the Mangahewa Stream found that the community health at the upstream
site ranged from above average health in summer to average health in autumn. The
downstream site community health was of average health with lower indicator values than the
previous year. Hydrocarbons from historical contamination were not

during the period under review. Gas combustion associated with hydrocarbon exploration only occurred
once at this site, no issue was raised.
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 controls, once they were installed, and stormwater from the site was well managed with only one

There were no adverse effects on the environment resulting from the exercise of the air discharge consent.
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 odours were detected beyond the boundary during inspections and there were no
complaints in relation to air
