Inspection was carried out during an extended period of dry weather. Earthworks
were being undertaken on-site with works on both the access track and drilling pad
underway. No metal had yet been imported to the site, however it was anticipated
that metal would be brought onto site within the next week. The first culvert on the
access track was installed earlier in the day with earthworks continuing about the

The oily water separator appeared to working normally and the bund valves were open to release
stormwater following recent rainfall (this stormwater is released onto site). It was noted that there was
ponding in the ring drains, particularly the drain along the southern boundary. It appeared that the rock
weirs were working effectively to capture and control sediment, however a side effect of this is that
sediment was blocking the …
access, bridge losses, silt deposition and stock and fence losses.
The focus of the strategy however was the establishment of a flood prediction and warning system to
provide warnings to the local community. An automated warning system was subsequently developed
and an additional telemetered rainfall site installed in the Ngutawera sub-catchment to assist with these
warnings.
In regard to river channel management, the Strategy recommended that arrangements be made in

based mud and oily
waste were undertaken. Oil based cuttings and wastes from the Kauri-E wellsite,
located in the southeast corner of the property, were landfarmed at the site in 2004 and
2005.
The predominant soil type has been identified as black loamy sand and vegetation
growth is primarily pasture. Average annual rainfall for the site is 1043 mm (taken
from the nearby ‘Patea’ monitoring station). As with the other South Taranaki coastal
sites, the Geary site is subject to strong
coastal land situated on reworked dune
fields. The predominant soil type has been identified as black loamy sand, and
vegetation growth is primarily a mixture of pasture and dune grasses. Average annual
rainfall for the site is 1122 mm (taken from the nearby Glenn Road monitoring station).
Two significant surface water bodies run adjacent to the spreading areas. The Waimate
Stream flanks the north-western side of the main western site, whilst the Rawa Stream
runs adjacent to the north-western
