which water levels rise and fall rapidly in
response to rainfall. The unit has both shallow unconfined low-yielding aquifers and
confined higher yielding aquifers at depth. The unit includes New Plymouth and other
urban areas and most of the land use (outside the Egmont National Park) is
predominately intensive pastoral farming. The use of surface water supports a wide
range of consumptive activities including agriculture, industry, community water
supplies, and hydro-electric power
that works needed to be undertaken to ensure best
practice is maintained. This included ensuring that chemicals are covered with tarpaulins, especially when
rain is expected, and ensuring that chemicals are stored in a bund if access to another storage area is not
immediately available. Also discussed was the bund itself and the requirement that it must capture and
contain stormwater to ensure that spilled chemicals cannot escape the bund and flow to the ring drain,

purpose they were designed;
b. Their structural integrity is maintained;
c. There is no settlement or loss of foundation material; and
d. Erosion of the foreshore or seabed which has been demonstrated by monitoring to
be a direct result of the rock revetment structure, is minimised as far as
practicable.

4 December 2020
An inspection carried out following period of heavy rain and strong winds. A lot of tree debris was noted
around the site and the stormwater drains were being cleared at the time of inspection. Frogs were noted
within the interceptor system. In general the site was tidy and no staining was noted. Gas was being flared
at a rate and quantity which controlled smoke and odour.
