build a new
compressor onsite. The old flare pit had been tested for contamination prior to it being reinstated to
pasture. At the time of inspection no flare, heat haze or smoke was detected. The skimmer pits were visually
satisfactory. It was noted that the discharge pipe is kept closed during rain events to allow sediment to
settle out prior to discharge, with various tide marks around the pits showing that this was common
practice. Hydrocarbon cloth had been placed under the coil tubing

The fill area was coming to the end of fill capacity. No inappropriate material was observed. It was noted
that the first of the three silt fences needed to be repaired. Although it was fine during the inspection, it had
rained heavily prior to arrival, no issues were noted with regards to stormwater or visually in the receiving
water. No dust or odours were noted.

No activity was occurring on the site during the inspection. There were some piles of soil at the top
be worse than it was due to rain earlier. The site manager advised this

The site was busy with normal operations. Traffic was particularly busy within the scrap area and some swarf
was observed tracking to the drains. All drain screens were in place and appear to be regularly maintained
to prevent blocking. All hazardous chemicals were appropriately contained. Rainwater within bunding was at
a low level. Spill kits were in place throughout the site and
regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14.
The Company holds water permit 10247-1 to cover the abstraction of groundwater incidental to quarry
operations and for aggregate washing purposes. This permit was issued by the Council to the previous site
operators (Inglewood Metal Ltd) on 1 December 2016 under Section 87(d) of the RMA. The permit was then
transferred to The Company on 6 April 2017.
