4.6 Lithology and Overpressure Containment
The Kapuni formation, which is targeted for hydraulic fracturing, is

recreational habits. It appears that road access has not changed significantly from
when the last survey was undertaken in 1984. However substantial car parking and
facility upgrades and development of walkways has occurred.
For example in New Plymouth and other parts of the region there has been ongoing
maintenance and upgrades of walkways and other facilities. The Central New
Plymouth Foreshore development is the single most significant infrastructure
development in Taranaki since

1.2.1 Stratford water supply
The municipal water supply is extracted from the Patea River (main supply) and the Konini Stream (auxiliary
supply) by means of weirs on these watercourses. At the Cardiff Road water treatment plant water is filtered
using membrane filters and then treated with chlorine and fluoride for domestic supply before being
pumped to a nearby reservoir. The water supply is reticulated to approximately 2,300 separate
customers.
Filter backwash is discharged via
communities chosen for study included
nematodes. It was considered that nematode communities would be less susceptible to
mechanical disturbance, and hence a more effective indicator of any possible toxic effects
from the application of wastes, than the larger earthworms.
The study found:
Differences in mean nematode abundance between treatment and controls were much greater
at the Brown Road landfarm (high chloride and high total petroleum hydrocarbons) than
those at the Schrider landfarm
Ariki museum.
IRON SAND MINING
In 1848 a smelting operation was established by John Perry on Carrington Road in the vicinity of the Huatoki
stream (Wells 1878:289). Hursthouse, writing a prospectus for the new settlement in 1849, noted the iron sand
deposits on the beaches (Hursthouse 1849:20,131-132). Another smelting operation was attempted in 1869 by a
Wellington based firm, Henochberg and Co., in the vicinity of the Mangaotuku stream, and limited success there
led to the formation
Landfarm located on
Manawapou Road near Manutahi (the Site). Disposal activities commenced at this site during
the 2012-2013 monitoring year under the previous operator Remediation (NZ) Limited
(RNZ), the consent was then transferred during June 2014 to WRS.
This report for the period July 2013 – June 2014 describes the monitoring programme
implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess largely RNZ’s
environmental performance during the period under review, and the
Ariki museum.

by TAG
Oil (NZ) Limited (the Company). BTW (on behalf of TAG Oil) operates a landfarm
(Vanner Landfarm) situated on Lower Ball Road at Kakaramea, in the Mangaroa
catchment.
The Vanner site became operational during the 2011-2012 monitoring period, when
there was a single disposal of 1390 m³ of primarily water/synthetic based cuttings and
fluids, with smaller quantities of contaminated water and soil. The waste spread in
2012-2013 was sourced from the Mangahewa C and D, Sidewinder, Puka
site located on South Road at
Manaia. The site was primarily operational during the previous monitoring period, when
synthetic and water-based muds and rock cuttings were disposed of to land via the process of
landfarming. Activity at the site ceased at the beginning of the 2013-2014 monitoring period, as
available spreading area capacity was reached in the main area of the site, and the decision
was made not to farm the smaller area east of the Rawa Stream. This report for the period July
