Inspections
25 August 2017
This inspection was conducted in fine weather with a light northerly wind. The cap was very damp, with
minor ponding in multiple areas following heavy rain during the previous weeks. The most significant
ponding was on the eastern border of the cap, approximately 5 m2 in size, and up to 10 cm deep. The lack of
vegetation in this area indicated that the ponding had been occurring for some time. Widespread minor
vehicle and stock damage was noted on the cap and batters,
except
for the NGI000174 second post-fracturing survey. There was a substantial decrease in
taxa richness at the ‘control’ site between the first and second post-fracturing surveys
which would be unrelated to any wellsite discharges and probably due to a
combination of high flows and stream typology. There had been significant amounts of
rain prior to sampling and river flows had exceeded 50 x median base flow on three
separate occasions in the ten days prior to sampling. The ‘control’ site is

was collected from pooled rain water which demonstrated no elevated contaminants were present in the
sample. The Council’s position was that the works did not result in any on-going discharge of contaminants
to the environment as a process of the skimmer pit development.

The national bottom line sits between bands B and C.
For nitrate, all 15 sites monitored in Taranaki achieved
national bottom lines, with all but three falling in band A
for both the annual median and 95th percentile measures.
The sites in band B were in mid and lower parts of southern
