smoke or odours noted. 29 September 2016 The site was inspected following reasonably heavy rainfall over the preceding 12 to 18 hours. All ring drains and bunds were clear of contamination and the skimmer pits were operating in a satisfactory manner. There were no adverse effects of discharge observed in the nearby tributary. Full drums of oil were securely contained in a bund while empty drums were awaiting removal. No flaring was occurring. 16 January 2017 The site was
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 coastal sites, this site is subject to strong winds.

aluminium shear and discussions were had with staff regarding minimising tracking to a nearby stormwater sump. 7 Jun 2019 The inspection was carried out after sustained heavy rainfall earlier in the day.

Small amounts of swarf were noted in the scrap loading yard and some of this had collected on the filter screens installed in the stormwater sumps. Minor ponding was observed in low-lying areas of the yard as a result of the
discrete areas, such as near river mouths and in close proximity to wastewater discharges. At river mouths, water quality can be reduced as a result of contaminants from land use and development (e.g. farming, earthworks, urban centres, industrial sites) entering waterways, particularly during or following heavy rainfall events. Accidental discharges of largely untreated wastewater can have temporary adverse effects on coastal water quality. Wastewater discharges from large
soil. 1.2.3 Site description The Wellington Landfarm is located on Brown Road, Waitara, on marginal coastal farm land situated on reworked dune fields.

compliance monitoring purposes. Hector Place pumping station and the emergency overflow structure were also inspected and found to be in a satisfactory condition. 12 February 2018 An inspection of the WWTP was conducted in fine weather with moderate north westerly wind conditions. The monthly rainfall was measured as 68 mm, recorded at the Kapoaiaia weather station. The influent step screen was operating and wastes were fully contained. The primary pond was a turbid, dark green brown
