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 emissions from the site.
During the year, the Company demonstrated an overall high level of both environmental performance and
administrative compliance with the resource consents. There were no unauthorised incidents recorded by
the Council in relation to the Company’s activities. The
enhancing biodiversity generally, Accord partners also
agree that there is a need for an immediate focus on Taranaki’s most valuable, yet vulnerable,
biodiversity assets.
The Accord identifies three immediate priorities for maintaining and enhancing biodiversity in
the region. These are:
1. Protect the distribution and abundance of the 70 native animal species and 99 native plant
species whose natural ranges include Taranaki and which have been listed as “threatened”,
“at risk” or

TAG Oil (NZ) Limited did not need to notify the Council of its intention to combust gas, as
gas combustion activities were not undertaken at the Southern Cross wellsite or in
association with this wellsite. No offensive or objectionable odours, smoke or dust
associated with activities at the wellsite were observed. The drilling fluids and cuttings were
disposed of at a consented off-site facility.
During the monitoring period the Council received one incident investigation report

The Council’s monitoring programme for the period under review included three compliance monitoring
inspections of the site focussing on types of materials discharged, stormwater and leachate control, and
emissions to air.
The monitoring during the period under review showed that the closing of the site to the general public
resulted in no unacceptable material being dumped on site. There were no issues noted relating to
stormwater or
complied with consent conditions. No
adverse effects were observed in the tributary of the Mangawharawhara Stream at the time of inspections.
There were no adverse effects on the environment found as a result of the exercise of the air discharge
consent. 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
the communities in the stream.
There were no adverse effects on the environment resulting from the exercise of the air discharge consent.

been identified and that effective strategies for managing these are in place;
• Identify waste streams and the management of these;
• Provide procedures and guidelines for action in the event of a hydrocarbon or hazardous
substance spill;

is also downstream of other site discharges and further investigation is required.

Air quality monitoring showed that off-site there were no significant adverse effects in relation to
suspended particulates, dust deposition rates or odour beyond the site boundary.
