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
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
vibrations were felt prior, during or
after fracturing. Local white baiters situated on Onaero Road questioned by a Council
officer did not feel, see or hear anything unusual.
A re-inspection of the site was carried out on Thursday 29 September 2011. The site,
surrounding land and waterways appeared as they did the previous day. The pilot
flame had been extinguished at time of inspection. A sample of the fluid within the
well was collected.

regnans mountain ash
E.regnans is the world's tallest hardwood species.
Because it is prone to Barrons Road Dieback, this
species should only be planted where few alternatives
exit. Regnans is also particularly sensitive in terms of
site. as with many other eucalypts, it seems to benefit
from being mix planted with pine. It is a species
needing cool temperatures and fertile but not
necessarily friable soils. It dislikes acid clays, coastal
sites and long periods of drought. In drying trials, this
