new trade waste metering/sampling system, operated by NPDC, was observed
while in use on Paritutu Road.

The weather was overcast and misty, with a light W wind, after rain the previous
day. The storm ponds, which had not been emptied for over six weeks and were
soupy green, were released all together at slow rate to reduce discoloration of
Herekawe Stream. There was some foaming within the mixing zone. The incinerator
was operating, burning general

which was attributed to insufficient decontamination of sampling equipment between sites. The decision
was made to transfer sampling responsibility STDC to the Council from December 2020 to ensure robust
sampling methodology were being applied. Subsequent sampling found no evidence was found to suggest
the WWTP is affecting water quality down gradient of the disposal fields.

managed. Minimal flaring was being undertaken with
no resulting smoke or odours. No discharge was occurring from the skimmer pits but
recent rain had elevated suspended solids content in the stormwater which may have
required the pits to be cleaned out.

No drilling was being undertaken at the time of inspection. Most of the exploration
equipment had been moved to Cheal-B and C wellsites. The production facilities were
neat and tidy. There was no discharge off site. Some silt
bubbling, though not odorous. A concrete apron had been constructed beside the first
pond for easier wash-down and odour control. The storm drain pond beside the bio-
filter was emitting a slight sulphurous odour. More trees had been removed along the
front fence of the house opposite, which was now plainly visible.

A routine inspection was carried out on 12 July 2012. Gentle very light rain stopped
during the inspection. There was a light NE wind. An odour survey along Hursthouse
Company. Through an automated water
level sensor system, the Company can monitor the residual flows in the Manganui River and Mangaotea
Stream, water levels in the race and lake and how much rain is falling locally. This has allowed the Company
to manage race flows to minimise flooding, and has greatly improved the Company’s compliance with
residual flow requirements.
1.3 Resource consents
The Company holds 23 resource consents, the details of which are summarised in the table below.
otherwise. The representation of the Stratford and South Taranaki
constituencies falls outside the stipulated range. The Council considers that the Stratford Constituency
warrants one member and the South Taranaki Constituency warrants two members for the following
reasons:
• the proposed representation reflects the status quo (with only minor proposed boundary changes),
which is well understood and accepted by the regional community.
• the constituency boundaries are closely aligned to
