typical example.
Water Rain: - raindrops falling on bare earth wash the soil away. The rain soaks into
the soil making it heavier and causing it to sometimes slip away.
Sea: -waves crash against the coast, grinding rocks into sand and cutting back
the edge of the coast. Coastal drift carries the sand along the coast to calmer
water where it builds beaches.
Rivers: - the force of the flow cuts away at the banks of the river causing them
to become undercut and fall

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
were discharged to the site.
1.4.4 Chemical sampling
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. Monitoring over the past three years noted no
discharge of leachate or liquids from the base of the dune as a result of the discharge.
Therefore, no water quality samples were programmed or collected at the site
October was a month of contrasts for rainfall in Taranaki, ranging from 65% of the average for the month at Waitotara at Hawken Rd to 164% at Mangati at SH3. The average across the region was 101.1% of the long-term average although there was less rain on the Maunga where rainfall was only around 60% at North Egmont and Kahui Hut. Year to date rainfall is sitting between 110% (Kotare at OSullivans) and 163% (Kapoaiaia at Lighthouse) with an average of 126.8% of normal. Mean river flows for
from neighbours.
It is acknowledged that other site-specific
considerations will also have to apply, such as:
1. the avoidance of conflict between air discharge
points and neighbouring dwellings
2. land contours
3. orientation to the sun.
(f) Discharge point design
Dispersion of discharges is enhanced by:-
increasing the height of discharge points;
avoiding the use of conical rain shields over
discharge stacks;
petroleum and gas production.
▪ Severe weather events – with high
winds and heavy rain are not
uncommon. The electricity network
(winds) and road network (slips) are
most vulnerable.
