Remediation (NZ) is seeking renewal of the consents it holds from the Taranaki Regional
Council (TRC) for their worm farm and composting operation in the Uruti Valley.
Remediation (NZ) Ltd is a company specialising in organic fertiliser production and sales,
supplying organic fertiliser to both organic and conventional farmers.
Their Uruti Composting facility has in operation since December 2001 and holds six
separate consents with the TRC. The following consents require renewal this year
at the end
of Norfolk Rd and York Rd within the boundary of Egmont National Park.
Within the region its range extends from Tongaporutu in the north, around
the Taranaki ringplain and as far inland as Lake Rotokare.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP
Do not drain damp areas such as swamps and wetlands. Fence and
plant such areas to establish new swamp maire populations.
Plant eco-sourced material to preserve our local form.
Fence off areas of scrub and forest
life can be killed, habitats
destroyed and the stream can take many years to
recover.
You may think that your little bit of waste can’t harm
the environment but there are other people in the
region carrying out activities similar to yours. Your
waste when combined with that of others can amount
to a significant amount of pollution occurring every day
of the year. The cumulative effects of combined
discharges can cause serious damage to our
environment and must be prevented.
It is
noticed a change in the wording
of our slogan in recent times. We believe the
new one "Working with people, caring for
Taranaki" better reflects the functions of the
Council. Besides developing, monitoring and
enforcing regional rules around the use of
core resources, an important part of our work
involves getting alongside landowners,
industry, community groups and individuals
to take practical actions to protect and
improve the environment. The Council also
runs

I guess you hardly had time to catch your
breath and are now back on the job facing
another important term. At least you have the
prospect of better weather, but we all know
that is no certainty.
Congratulations to the 78 Taranaki schools
Taranaki region waste disposal to
landfill.
This site currently operates under Resource Consents issued by the Taranaki Regional Council. Two of the
consents expire on 1 June 2018 and we are in the process of applying for renewal. The consents are 5838-2.2
which is to discharge a) waste material to land for composting and b) treated stormwater and leachate from
composting operations; onto and into land in circumstances where contaminants may enter water in the
Haehanga
years to recover.
You may think that your little bit of waste can’t harm
the environment but there are many other people in the
region carrying out activities similar to yours. Your
waste when combined with that of many others can
amount to a significant amount of pollution occurring
every day of the year. The cumulative effects of
combined discharges can cause serious damage to our
environment and must be prevented.
