One solution would be to place an oliophillic mat below the pump to capture any hydrocarbon while
allowing rainwater to drain, this was discussed with staff at the time of the inspection. Also discussed was
the purposed and use of plastic matting under the rig. For some areas plastic matting is suitable, however
for others the matting needs to be used to capture solid/liquid that falls from the

The information supplied so far by the Government and its advisers would appear to fall short of adequately answering these questions. We hope that Wellington will give the Taranaki experience the careful consideration we believe it deserves. A major concern is that as they stand, the Government’s proposals would frustrate and set back the good work happening here. The
