mixed with sawdust or other organic material
and then piled up on the remediation 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

The new outlet from the final pond was clear of debris on all of the inspection
occasions. The provision for influent splitting at the entrance to the ponds’ system had
been designed for use only under high (stormwater infiltration) flows. The influent
splitter is checked after heavy rainfall and on a regular weekly basis by the consent

stormwater facility discharge to surface water, only occurs during significant rainfall events.
The facility is allowed noticeable, but not objectionable or offensive odour beyond the boundary of the site.
In the past, noticeable odours have been noted during the loading and unloading exercises, when material
is agitated, or fresh from the supplier.

basis. The second larger pond is unlined.
The size of the pond provides storage for a 10% annual exceedance rainfall event (AEP) event. The
maximum discharge rate from the pond during large rainfall events is 1,060 L/s as this is dictated by the size
of the outfall pipe (750 mm). However, there is also provision for the pond to overflow via a spillway
structure to a discharge swale (i.e. bypassing the 750 mm discharge pipe).
A the time of the application it was
for further treatment prior to discharge to the
Tasman Sea. This option utilises the existing ponds at Inglewood for attenuation
during peak rainfall events.
During extreme peak flows (i.e. when stormwater and groundwater infiltration is
excessive), overflows from the pond were likely to occur given the limited amount of
attenuation available. Accordingly, overflow facilities are to be utilised during peak
storm flows to treat pond effluent before discharge to the stream occurs. No
nitrogen per hectare per year (KG/HA/YR), often called units of N.
This is the difference between the total units of nitrogen
brought onto the farm and the total units of nitrogen that
leave the farm as products.
A high amount of surplus nitrogen can indicate an inefficient
conversion of available nitrogen into milk protein.

spray on the site which was washed into the stormwater system by significant rainfall prior to
sampling. No adverse effects were noted on the receiving waters at the time of this discharge.
There were no adverse effects on the environment as a result of discharges to air at the
Pohokura facility. Inspections showed that emissions to air from flaring and other sources
were well controlled, producing no adverse offsite effects. Self-monitoring by
