Streambank fences enable easier stock
control when mustering, keep sick stock
out of streams, and reduce stock deaths by
drowning, falling down steep banks, or
getting bogged.
Trees on banks, as well as shading and
sheltering stock in the adjacent paddock,
provide timber for on-farm use if they’re
silviculturally managed.
Farmers and their families don’t just get a

estimate for three typical application types. Buffer zones, with or without shelter belts, merely provide an opportunity
for concentrations of agrichemicals to fall sufficiently so that the risk to sensitive areas beyond the buffer zone
becomes acceptable (i.e. environmental exposure levels are not exceeded). Depending on the particular
circumstances however, there is no guarantee that this can be

managed. Minimal flaring was being undertaken with
no resulting smoke or odours. No discharge was occurring from the skimmer pits but
recent rain had elevated suspended solids content in the stormwater which may have
required the pits to be cleaned out.

No drilling was being undertaken at the time of inspection. Most of the exploration
equipment had been moved to Cheal-B and C wellsites. The production facilities were
neat and tidy. There was no discharge off site. Some silt
bubbling, though not odorous. A concrete apron had been constructed beside the first
pond for easier wash-down and odour control. The storm drain pond beside the bio-
filter was emitting a slight sulphurous odour. More trees had been removed along the
front fence of the house opposite, which was now plainly visible.

A routine inspection was carried out on 12 July 2012. Gentle very light rain stopped
during the inspection. There was a light NE wind. An odour survey along Hursthouse
