an exceedance of the suspended solids limit on the Company’s stormwater
discharge consent.
During the year, TBS Coatings Limited demonstrated a good level of environmental and
high level of administrative performance with the resource consents. One dust complaint
was received, but this was not substantiated at the time of investigation. However, an
exceedance of the dust deposition rate was observed in one of the five gauges deployed,
which was likely to be a result of re-suspended yard
development of the region’s resources.
1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by
the consent holders, this report also assigns a rating as to each Company’s
environmental and administrative performance during the period under review.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving
environment from the activities during the monitoring year.
waters were typically disposed of by release into surface streams.
Today, approximately 95% of produced waters in the US are disposed of via underground
injection at an estimated volumetric flow rate on the order of 10 million m3/day (Otton and
Mercier, 2012).
2.1.1 Regulatory Scheme
USEPA regulations are the minimum foundation for the regulation of DWI in the US. Given
the size of the US and the various industrial operations that occur there and utilize DWI for
the disposal of waste

Stormwater and groundwater were being pumped from the floor of the quarry to the
third pond of the upper ponds settlement system. A moderate rate of discharge was
occurring from the final (sixth) pond to the tributary but there were no visual
impacts of this tributary on the appearance of the Kurapete Stream at the boundary
of the mixing zone as stream flow was high and turbid. Sampling of the wastewater

Habitat loss (through land
clearance and drainage) has
historically been the main
pressure on biodiversity. While
the rate of land clearance and
drainage has declined in recent times, the
ongoing loss and modification of remnant
habitats remains an issue, particularly on
privately owned land in Taranaki. Even
small losses of habitat can now have a
disproportionate impact on remaining
biodiversity – not only in terms of remnant

Based on a site area of 1. 4 ha (Pad 1 & 3), a rainfall intensity of 43 mm/hr (i. e. 7 mm in 10
mins = 42 mm in 1 hour), and the above coefficients, the estimated runoffflow rate from
Pad 1 and 3 will be 325. 8m3/hr. This is an extremely conservative estimate and is likely to
overestimate the volume to be actually discharged from the composting pad 1 & 3 during
