2.2.1 Inspections
21 September 2022
It was raining with a light breeze at the time of the inspection. The cap was in good condition and was
showing no signs of slumping. There was some ponding present, but the inspection was during a rain event,
thus this would be expected. There was evidence of good stock rotation and
however the bung was missing allowing rainwater and possibly contaminants to discharge onto the ground.
One solution would be to place an oliophillic mat below the pump to capture any hydrocarbon while
allowing rainwater to drain, this was discussed with staff at the time of the inspection. Also discussed was
the purposed and use of plastic matting under the rig. For some areas plastic matting is suitable, however
for others the matting needs to be used to capture solid/liquid that falls from the
containers and farm plastics. In a submission on the proposed new stewardship regime, the Council supported all six priorities, suggested that tangata whenua be involved in designing the product stewardship scheme, and urged the Government not to let the cost burden of any compulsory requirements fall back on local government.

quality (NES), and requires regional councils to demonstrate that air meets the standard. Taranaki is one of only two regions that has never exceeded the NES air quality guidelines, always falling into the Ministry for the Environment's categories of 'Acceptable' to 'Excellent'. Intensive ongoing air quality monitoring is therefore not required in Taranaki. What do we look for?
Since 1991, the Council has gathered air quality data at up to 20 representative sites across the region including urban,
process areas and roadways, the stormwater collection and retention systems, stormwater sampling and
release records and inspections of the discharge point and receiving waters in the Herekawe Stream.
Scheduled inspections were carried out on 21 August and 5 November 2020, and 11 February and 20 May
2021.
Notes from these visits are summarised below. Records of production and incinerator operation were
inspected and found to be satisfactory.
