Good bunding practices were noted around the site. Relining of the stormwater pipe to the Mangahewa Stream had been completed. No visual effects were observed in the stream below the discharges. The discharge to the Waitara River was checked with no erosion or other effects noted. A pilot flare was observed, with no smoke or odours noted. 16 March 2021 The site was tidy with minimal activity occurring at the time of the inspection. The inspection was carried out following rainfall
alternating layers of sand and clays. Bore construction also revealed localised peat layers within some augured cores (approximately 4–8 m below surface). Average annual rainfall for the site is 1,043 mm (taken from the nearby Patea monitoring station). Origin Energy Ltd’s Kauri D wellsite is situated in the eastern corner of the site, and there is a small coastal lake inland and to the northeast (up gradient) of the storage pit area. Both of these features are presented in Figure 1. Figure
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 (taken from the nearby ‘Duffy’ monitoring station). As with the other South Taranaki
stormwater/sediment down the access track towards the newly installed culvert may lead to a direct discharge into the stream and this required monitoring during rainfall events. 14 March 2017 A site inspection was undertaken at the Kowhai-D wellsite. This showed that the wellsite had been designed in such a manner that should prevent or minimise any off site effects from stormwater discharges. The very best techniques in silt and sediment control had been implemented; bunds about operational areas
particulate deposition were above the 130 mg/m2/day guideline value at sites AIR004601 and AIR004602. Elevated results were also observed at other sites in the Mangati catchment during the monitoring period. This may have resulted from increased activity in the area, coupled with extended dry periods in late summer and early autumn (there was only one significant rainfall event during the monitoring run). The particulate level at site AIR004603, closest to the MASL facilities, was conversely well
report The purpose of this report is to review issues associated with small stream modification in the Taranaki region and in response to findings, develop and amend policies, methods and rules for the proposed Regional Fresh Water Plan for Taranaki (the Freshwater Plan). 1.2 Background Taranaki has a very dense drainage network, the natural consequence of the regions topography, frequent and plentiful rainfall and gravity’s effects upon water. In Taranaki as in other

following the Easter weekend of inclement weather with heavy rain and strong winds. The Manu Stream outlet on the beach below the Duck Pond showed no effects of any discharge. No odours or smoke were apparent downwind of the site. Everything was satisfactory. 29 April 2014 An inspection was undertaken following very heavy rainfall experienced over the preceding weekend. The site was neat and tidy. Minimal activity was occurring. No odours or smoke were noted from flaring or other on site
