Inspection was undertaken during heavy rainfall resulting in
48 mm of rainfall recorded at
the Hillsborough monitoring station in the seven days prior to the inspection.
There were no off-site odours or dust issues observed prior to going on site. Very little refuse was noted on
Colson Road between the transfer station and the landfill gates. The culvert grate at the inlet to the SPCA
driveway culvert was clear with a moderate, slightly cloudy, flow in the main branch of the stream. No
scums, sheens or debris were present. The side tributary that …
this recognised ecosystem had been taken into account in the setting of
buffer distances and location of the stockpiling facilities.
The predominant soil type has been identified as gravelly sand and vegetation growth consists of native
bush which transitions into pasture. Average annual rainfall for the site is 1,942 mm (taken from the nearby
‘Stratford’ monitoring station).
The stockpiling facility located at Surrey Road is operated under one consent (7559-1.4). This consent allows

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).

bases (approximately 4-5 m below surface). Average annual rainfall for the site is 1023
mm (taken from the nearby ‘Duffy’ monitoring station). As with the other South
Taranaki coastal sites, the Remediation site is subject to strong winds.

During the year under review no unacceptable material was dumped at the Patea Beach green waste
discharge site. There has been no leachate observed discharging from the sand dune area or the stockpiled
green waste during the period under review, or in previous years. These factors, combined with the sandy
substrate and low rainfall at the beach would be restricting the production of leachate from the green
waste.
