good bunding practices were observed. There was no discharge from the site to the
river. A pilot flare was operating with no visible sign of flame, smoke, or heat haze noted.

The site was tidy and well managed with drip trays and chemical bunding in use and no spills or stains
evident. Persistent heavy rain had preceded the inspection and the stormwater system was coping well with
all stormwater being collected and directed for treatment prior to discharge from the site.

bore was in poor condition. All activity still appeared to have ceased at the
Derby Road North site.

Inspection was conducted in conjunction with groundwater sampling:-
• No material had been stored or spread via this site for some years.
• The old cells and stormwater ponds were full of rain water.
• No sheen was evident, but some odour was observed immediately downwind
of the cells during groundwater sampling.
• No other issues were noted.

9.3 The irrigation model is updated using this information and emailed to Uruti.
9.4 The Uruti Site operator records the level in the irrigation pond Monday morning.
9.5 The Site Manager plans the weeks irrigation based on the irrigation pond level, the rain

increasingly popular as storage system, which is easy to install, reduces odour and no
rainfall into the tank means you can considerably reduce the amount of storage needed, an option to consider
in high rain fall areas.
Typically, farm dairy effluent is directed to a sand trap then tank with pump system, effluent is then applied
directly to land or to the bladder.
The Bladder will have a return valve, effluent is gravity feed from the bladder back to the tank, were it is then

regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49
of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as the rate and daily volume of
the groundwater abstraction might exceed that of the permitted activity (Rule 48).
Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject to two
conditions:
