remediation pad. Any rain run-off and leachate that is
generated, drains into a series of ponds for treatment. Between each pond there is a
baffle that skims off any floating hydrocarbons as the leachate passes through. These
ponds also treat the leachate and stormwater from pad 1 where remediated drilling
wastes are stored and/or processed further. The treated liquid from the pond
treatment system (PTS) is then irrigated to cut and carry pasture on two irrigation
areas.

104A of the Resource Management Act). Rules 35
and 36 of the RFWP do not include any matters of control that expressly allow for the consideration of
matters such as those expressed in the NPS-FM objective. Given that the Council can only consider policies
that relate to the matters over which the Council has reserved control through the plan itself, the Council is
unable to take into account matters that fall outside this scope.

Site inspections
17 December 2021 - The camp was quiet at the time of inspection with only one bus, one motorhome and
two caravans in residence. The STDC officer noted that the holding tanks had been full as a result of heavy
rain but had reduced the following day. While there have been odour complaints in the past, at the time of
inspection there were no odours or visual issues near the WWTP or trenches. The sea was a turbid brown at
the time, and there had been lots of rain preceding the

sea, but these are generally few in number and only the rare spills have a major and
indeed measurable impact on seafoods in the area.
“Indirect” discharges is a term used to generally describe the effects of rivers on the
coast, and therefore include the considerable amounts of faecal bacteria, nutrients and
solids carried down the Waitara River after rain on the farms and hill country
upstream (now seen as the major source of these in local seafoods). The material and
is approximately 6.1 km2. The length
of the catchment, from the headwaters between Paraite and Corbett Roads to the sea at Bell Block beach, is
approximately five kilometres.
The industrial area at Bell Block is situated mid-catchment (Figure 1). Historically, the industrial areas were
located predominantly on the western side of the stream however ongoing development since 2016 has
resulted in more sites on the eastern side. These sites fall under permitted activity rules and are not
the contained area or soak hole, even in
the heavy rain occurring at the time of inspection. Overall the site looked tidy and appeared to be well
managed at the time of inspection.
21 February 2019
The site has had a few new loads of green waste placed on it. There was no evidence of any stormwater or
leachate discharge on site and there was nothing collected in the contained corner of the site. Overall the
site was being managed in an appropriate manner at the time of inspection. …

sites were inspected on three occasions
during the monitoring year. A summary of the notes made during these inspections is
given below.
2.1.1 9 August 2012
A site visit was made to conduct a compliance monitoring inspection. It was raining at
the time of the inspection with 14 mm falling over the past 72 hours.
A meeting was held at the site office with the director of the Company to discuss the
new consents. The requirement to provide management plans was also discussed.
