has been identified as black loamy sand and vegetation growth is primarily a
mixture of pasture and dune grasses. Test pitting and the logging of boreholes on site indicated a relatively
shallow water table. Test bores were augured to 10 m in the pit area, revealing extensive compacted, low
permeable clays underlying coastal dune sands. Pit construction revealed mostly tightly packed sand at the
pit bases (approximately 4-5 m below surface). Average annual rainfall for the site is 1,023 mm

In Taranaki, contaminants disposed of by DWI are generally limited to produced
water, saline groundwater, contaminated stormwater, waste drilling fluids, HF
fluids, and production sludges. The Council has approved, on specific occasions, the
discharge of small volumes of other specified contaminants by DWI. Any application

is detailed in Figure 1. The predominant soil type has been identified as
black loamy sand and vegetation growth consists mostly of pasture. Test pitting and the logging of
boreholes on site indicated a relatively shallow water table. Test bores were augured to 10 m both around
the waste holding pit area and to the south-western site boundary, revealing alternating layers of sand and
clays. Bore construction also revealed localised peat layers within some augured cores (approximately 4–8 m

2.4 The drilling and construction of wells and bores is also regulated under
the Regional Fresh Water Plan. The Commissioner’s interim report is
misleading in relation to the Council’s regulation of well drilling and
construction (refer section 5.3 ‘Drilling and constructing the well’ page
56 of the interim report). The interim report states that in most district
and regional plans, drilling a well is a permitted or controlled activity
