State Highway reinstatement works, notably SH43, following the June
areas of outstanding value.
• Increased recognition of Māori values, including the
identification of known sites with high cultural, spiritual
and historical associations.
• Increased protection for 80 named nationally and
regionally significant surf breaks, including a ‘Nationally
Significant Surfing Area’ that includes all the surf breaks
between Kaihihi Road and Cape Road.
• Increased protection for indigenous biodiversity.
• Prohibiting discharges of untreated human
investing in two new replacement hoppers to reduce the risk of dust propagation from bulk dry
cargo unloading operations.
W Log-yard and B Log-yard (Figure 1) have been sealed. Improving stormwater quality was a key factor in
the decision to seal both of these areas. In addition a road sweeping and chamber emptying programme
has been implemented and the stormwater pathways and chambers are regularly cleaned.

W Log-yard and B Log-yard (Figure 1) have been sealed, at a cost of approximately
$2 million. Although this cost was not strictly associated with stormwater treatment,
improving stormwater quality was a key factor in the decision to seal both of these
areas. In addition a road sweeping and chamber emptying programme has been
implemented and the stormwater pathways and chambers are regularly cleaned.

5 Details of the Activity
5.1 The Council expects that this application will include a ‘Stormwater Management Plan’. This plan is
to detail how the site and any stormwater treatment facility is managed to minimise, as far as
practicable, the contaminants that become entrained in the stormwater and are subsequently
beef farming are concentrated in the hill
country and also play an important part in the
regional economy.
Exotic forest plantations continue to expand, with
the region offering a suitable climate, good forestry
sites and a well-established roading system and
port facility. Forest harvesting is also well
established.
The oil and gas industry is a major contributor to
the regional economy. The Taranaki Basin is

currently New Zealand’s only hydrocarbon
groundwater table and the Haehanga
Stream should then be investigated further.
It is also recommended the following be investigated to improve stormwater across the site:
Investigate the placement of a drainage ditch behind pad one down the western side of the
access road to avoid the DMP to drain stormwater directly to the main culvert on the
Haehanga Stream.
Realigned the DMP so that there is clear separation between the solids pile and the fluids,
to stop stormwater draining into

located off Rifle Range Road at Hawera. This report for the period July 2013-June 2014
describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council to
assess the Company’s environmental performance during the period under review, and the
results and environmental effects of the Company’s activities.
In 2013-2014 Greymouth Petroleum Acquisition Company Limited achieved a high level
of environmental performance in respect of this site.
