2.1.3 Results of consent holder monitoring
2.1.3.1 Stormwater monitoring by SENZL
SENZL monitors the combined stormwater discharge from the site, with sampling triggered by rainfall
events. Table 3 shows the results obtained during the 2016-2017 monitoring year. In all samples
hydrocarbons, pH, suspended solids and chloride levels were all below the limits set by consents 5997-1

muds, fluids and cuttings are mixed with sawdust or other organic material and then piled up on the
drilling wastes pad. Any rainfall runoff and leachate that is generated, drains into a series of ponds for
treatment. Between each pond is a baffle that skims off any floating hydrocarbons as the leachate passes
through. These ponds also treat the leachate and stormwater from pad 1 where remediated drilling wastes
are stored and/or processed further. The treated liquid from the pond treatment
leachate generation from additional
stormwater infiltration. Figure 3 shows ammoniacal nitrogen results since 2005. Some of the higher results
(e.g. 2015), can be attributed to heavy rainfall preceding sampling.
