of at the site since the last inspection. The material
consisted of clay, dirt and a few stumps. There had been heavy rain over night prior
to the inspection and it was noted that there were no ponding, odour or dust issues
found at the time of inspection. The consent holder was informed that water samples
were collected at this inspection.
Results of receiving environment monitoring 2.2.2
Routine water quality sampling was undertaken on one occasion and the results are
presented
General Policy that applies to all activities, including oil and gas
industries, within the coastal environment and regardless of which coastal
management area the activity may fall within. Officers further note that the potential
risks associated with oil and gas exploration and production activities are well
understood. In the main oil and gas exploration and production activities in the
coastal marine area are largely a Discretionary Activity or a Non-complying Activity.

Taylor report has also avoided commenting on how controls should be enhanced
and where existing controls might become less effective under the new operation. In terms
of equipment that AFT have to mitigate effects of odour and dust, these are all based on
having birds contained within a negative pressure maintained enclosed space.
25. Likewise the TRC in its assessment of the Application appears to make a similar error of
omission to conclude that the consent application falls
be noted that
even with MfE’s overly optimistic analysis, we will fall well short of what is required as a
national average under the NPS-FM. This is despite the fact that through the Taranaki
Riparian Management Programme the region is investing and doing far more than the
NPS-FM requires and doing more than many other regions in New Zealand.
Since 1995, the percentage of Taranaki’s ring plain streams fenced has risen from 50%
to 85%, and the percentage planted has risen
current work are far below ambient
guideline values, and all results fall into ‘excellent’ Ministry’s air quality category. Two of the
four benzene results were within ‘excellent’ MfE’s category and another two results fell within
the ‘good’ category.
The Council has previously undertaken BTEX monitoring in Taranaki region. The outcomes
of those previous BTEX studies were discussed in the “Air monitoring survey of
hydrocarbon compounds (BTEX) in the Taranaki Region” report which may be
flat rich dairy land on uplifted marine terraces. Ropers Bush falls
within the 'Acutely threatened' LENZ environment (less than 10% indigenous
forest remaining) and is located in the Manawatu Plains Ecological District.
The KNE provides connectivity to other KNE sites such as Ngakotana Gorge
and Tarere Forest Extension.
Ecological features
Flora
The main forest canopy is dominated by tawa (Beilschmiedia tawa), pukatea
(Laurelia novae-zelandiae) and kahikatea (Dacrycarpus
introduced to the litter
resulting in greater chance of odours; and
(iii) It has less wear on the building as the air is balanced and seals are
not put under pressure continuously;
(i) Water consumption is alarmed, so that any irregularities in water usage is
automatically flagged up to on duty staff;
(j) Use of nipple drinkers to avoid water falling on litter. Constant monitoring of
water usage to avoid leakage or overflow, and audits 4-5 times daily to detect
activity without a resource consent.
NES-F conditions
Passage of fish: The weir must provide for the
same passage of fish upstream and downstream
as would exist without the culvert, except as
required to carry out the works
Size: The fall height of the weir must be no more
than 0.5m
Slope: The slope of the weir must be no steeper
than 1:30
Face: The face of the weir must have roughness
elements that are mixed grade rocks of 150 to
200mm
heavy rain in August 2022, several rivers were affected with the Waitara sitting
about 1m below the stop banks at its peak. Support was provided to several families due to localised
flooding.
