load out area were clear and stormwater was not discharging offsite. No smoke or odours were noted. 19 September 2016 The site was neat and tidy at the time of the inspection. Ring drains and skimmer pits were clear of contaminants, with no discharge offsite. No flaring or smoke were observed. 16 January 2017 The skimmer pits contained clear water despite quite heavy rain fall during the previous few days. Frogs and other aquatic species were in residence which may
during the second and third inspections. Water samples were taken in conjunction with the second inspection on 10 Jan 2022. The Urenui Beach Camp trenches were inspected separately on 16 Feb 2022 at 0900 NZST. There had been heavy rain prior and the camp reported they had experienced a power cut for 30+ hours, during which NPDC had attended with generators to ensure the wastewater pumps did not overflow. There were no odour or visual issues identified in or around the trenches at the time of
from the normal discharge point along with the discharge immediately above it. A slight odour was detected on site. No offensive or objectionable odour was detected offsite at the time of the inspection. An abatement notice may be issued and the compliance rating would be pending sample results. 16 June 2021 Inspection was undertaken as part of routine compliance monitoring, after a period of very heavy rain overnight. The worm beds were all covered. There was evidence of a large

bacteriological water quality in the latest survey period was lower than normal in comparison with historical surveys. The total number of samples falling within the “Alert” or “Action” categories (36% of samples, or 40% if the samples of the Waimoku are included) across the 16 recognised bathing sites was the highest recorded. However, it should be noted that the “Action” category is the only category for which swimming is not recommended. In the 2016-2017 season, 86% of all samples (ie excluding the
which water levels rise and fall rapidly in response to rainfall. The unit has both shallow unconfined low-yielding aquifers and confined higher yielding aquifers at depth. The unit includes New Plymouth and other urban areas and most of the land use (outside the Egmont National Park) is predominately intensive pastoral farming. The use of surface water supports a wide range of consumptive activities including agriculture, industry, community water supplies, and hydro-electric power
that works needed to be undertaken to ensure best practice is maintained. This included ensuring that chemicals are covered with tarpaulins, especially when rain is expected, and ensuring that chemicals are stored in a bund if access to another storage area is not immediately available. Also discussed was the bund itself and the requirement that it must capture and contain stormwater to ensure that spilled chemicals cannot escape the bund and flow to the ring drain, skimmer pit and ultimately

of skimmer pits indicating relatively good water quality. A drip tray (tarp) had been placed under the mud shaker chutes and this was collecting/catching a lot of mud and preventing discharges to ground. Both liquid and dry chemicals were being stored in the onsite metal bund and these were covered by tarps to prevent rain from falling on product. Appropriate bunding was noted around the rest of the site. 15 October 2018 Kowhai-D wellsite: A new filter sock was being installed within
