continued to show elevated benzene levels downwind of the condensate and produced water
storage tanks compared to relevant ambient air quality guidelines. Operational changes and
engineering work to investigate potential plant modifications to reduce benzene emissions are
ongoing.

recommended that method 2 or 3 described in section 2.7 above be used for a 3 km stretch of
coastline from Awaawaroa to Awahahae Stream in order to establish a sound baseline for
future monitoring.
It is recommended that this work be undertaken through a collaborative partnership
arrangement with Transit given the risks to SH3, particularly as it would provide Transit
with sound monitoring information upon which to base future

Executive summary
Port Taranaki Ltd operates Port Taranaki. Downer New Zealand Ltd (Downer) and Technix Bitumen
Technologies Ltd (Technix) operate bitumen plants within the bounds of the port. Methanex New Zealand
Ltd (Methanex) operates a methanol storage facility at the port, and Liquigas Ltd (Liquigas) is a storage and
distribution depot for LPG.
This
likely due to the historical over application of nitrogen to these paddocks by a previous
company. The rendering plant did not operate during the period under review and this has significantly
reduced odour issues with no odour complaints related to the site. Furthermore, disposal of dead
stock/material is being achieved by sending all material offsite as opposed to burying waste. This would
lessen the potential for odour as well as reduce the possibility of groundwater contamination.
There
the main points of interest were plant processes with potential or actual discharges to receiving
watercourses, including contaminated stormwater and process wastewaters. Air inspections focused on
plant processes with associated actual and potential emission sources and characteristics, including
potential odour, dust, noxious or offensive emissions. The neighbourhood was surveyed for environmental
effects.
In addition, the rock wall was checked for any end effects, or further erosion of
