Taranaki dairy farmers are leading by example after achieving a near 100% success rate in reporting their nitrogen usage on pasture land, the region’s environmental watchdog says. Taranaki Regional Council hailed the response of farmers across the region in submitting information and complying with the rules after figures showed a reporting rate of 97.8% for the 2023/24 reporting period. Some 1,436 dairy farm operations out of a total of 1,468 provided the data to the Council via fertiliser

exploration site located along Cross Road,
within the Stratford district, in the Waitara catchment. The site is called Southern Cross
wellsite. This report covers the period from February 2014 to July 2014. During this period, a
wellsite was established with one well drilled, side-tracked, plugged and abandoned.
This report for TAG Oil (NZ) Limited describes the monitoring programme implemented by
the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess TAG Oil (NZ) Limited’s
environmental

A schematic representation of injection wells for both waste discharge and enhanced oil
recovery is presented in Figure 1.

DWI process and its history within the region can be found in previous compliance
reports published by the Council (see Bibliography).
1.3 Resource consents
Sections 15(1)(b) and (d) of the RMA stipulate that
Basin occupies an area of approximately 100,000 square kilometres and is
the most explored and commercially successful hydrocarbon producing area in New
Zealand. Oil and gas exploration and development has been on-going in the region for
nearly 150 years. Since the first well in 1865, over 600 exploration and production wells
have been drilled. While the majority of the basin is offshore, the majority of the
producing wells are onshore. The geology of the basin is derived from diverse episodes
allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in
a regional plan, or by national regulations.
GPL holds water discharge permit 6498-1 for the northern section of the site, to
discharge treated stormwater and treated produced water from hydrocarbon
exploration and production operations at the Turangi Production Station onto land,
where it may enter into an unnamed tributary of the Parahaki Stream. This permit was
issued by the Taranaki Regional Council on 7 December 2004 under Section 87(e) of
(OMV), previously Shell Exploration NZ Ltd, operates a petrochemical production
station and associated wellsites, located on Lower Otaraoa Road at Motunui in the Waipapa and Manu

implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess environmental and consent
compliance performance during the period under review. The report also details the results of the
monitoring undertaken and
