all this autumn colour means a lot of leaf fall and subsequent raking. To be honest, we sometimes run out of places to hide them. Thankfully, the idea of removing every leaf is fading away. The benefits of leaf litter, the fungi that consume it and recycling it into the soil are now being recognised. Our current process is to clear paths, chop up anything that falls on the grass and add it back to the turf. The general policy is to leave what we can to be broken down and added to the soil
disposed of at the Patea transfer station. Patea Beach is an elevated site which for most of the time is dry. Rain that does fall on the site drains away at a very rapid rate. The site does not suffer from flooding from rain or tidal action, due to its elevation. 1 The Council has used these compliance grading criteria for 15 years. They align closely with the 4 compliance grades in the MfE Best Practice Guidelines for Compliance,
unacceptable wastes being exposed by coastal erosion. This resulted in the site being closed to the public in 2017. Any further dune stabilisation will be done using green waste disposed of at the Patea transfer station. Patea Beach is an elevated site which for most of the time is dry.

of gravity (Photo 5 to 7). Discharge from Pond F to the unnamed tributary of the Kurapete Stream occurs via a steel pipe access culvert. The tributary flows approximately 600 m before joining the Kurapete Stream upstream of the Everett Road Bridge. In an emergency (e.g., during a sustained heavy rain event), Ponds B and C are bypassed as water is pumped directly from Pond A to Pond D where it travels through the system to Pond F. Contouring and bunding of the site directs stormwater to Ponds
to repair the shed. The front of the site was very clean. A leaf blower had been purchased to clean the hard stand area and it was noted that this was free from debris during the inspection. Broken pipe work had been repaired. No discharge was occurring from the treatment system. All windrows were covered and no odour was detected on site or beyond the boundary of the property at the time of the inspection. 17 August 2021 Very heavy rain had occurred prior to the inspection and the
the Hawera waste water treatment plant. 2.2 Results 2.2.1 Inspections One inspection was carried out in the 2012-2013 monitoring year. 16 October 2012 A site visit was made to conduct an inspection and to take groundwater samples. The weather was fine with 16 mm rain over the previous 72 hours. The cap on the landfill was well vegetated and appeared sound. The level of leachate in the collection sump was higher than usual and had approximately 3 cm of foam on it. A sample was
until the site had stabilised. Cheal Production Station and Cheal-A wellsite: Heavy persistent rain and strong winds proceeded the inspection, with rain still falling during the visit. The sites were tidy and processes appeared to be well managed as no spills or stains were evident on the ground. Operationally good practices were being adhered to, with drip trays and chemical bunding in use. The skimmer pits were free of hydrocarbon sheens and no effects were noted below the discharge
