of the production station and the wellsites were undertaken on the same day and were found to
be in full compliance with the consent conditions. The production stormwater system was noted to be
managing the stormwater well in light of heavy rain the night before. No hydrocarbon sheens were
observed on the skimmer pits, and there was no smoke or odour from the pilot flare. The well sites were
observed to be tidy and in good order. Stormwater discharges were well managed at the time and there
site was going to be scraped to remove proppant, and to also level out the site post drilling campaign.
Heavy rain earlier in the week had carried sediment into the ring drains and down to the wetland. Some of
the ring drains were visibly turbid, while others contained clear water as the sediment had been filtered
since the rain event. The bank separating the wetland from the site had undergone major works to stabilise
it and had been covered with coconut matting and hydroseed. The wetland had

dam or divert any water, unless the activity is expressly allowed for by a resource
consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set
out in Section 14.

significant reductions in E. coli loads will be required to meet minimum standards and see

2.1.1 Inspections
07 December 2020
An inspection was undertaken to assess compliance with resource consent conditions. It was raining at the
time of the inspection. Four samples were obtained; one downstream (clear), one upstream (clear), one from
the storm water discharge pipe (turbid) and one form the head waters adjacent to the storm water
discharge pipe, at this location there was a visible sheen. The
elevated soil
moistures in the range of 44 and 45 %. Conversely, prior to January 8th 2015, Uruti received only 1
mm of rain in the previous eight days, with soil moistures at 32 %, this would have resulted in
minimal outflow ‘gaining’ from the Haehanga Stream to the groundwater table.

would be cleaned up.

The site was busy with normal operations. Traffic was particularly busy within the scrap area and some swarf
was observed tracking to the drains. All drain screens were in place and appear to be regularly maintained
to prevent blocking. All hazardous chemicals were appropriately contained. Rainwater within bunding was at
a low level. Spill kits were in place throughout the site and
