Water abstraction permits
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, 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. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued
An inspection was undertaken in calm, wet weather with light rain showers. Yard maintenance was required
in the form of sweeping, however there was no evidence of spills. The plant was not operating at the time
and no discharges to air were occurring. No odours were noted and ambient dust readings were within
allowable limits. The emissions stack testing had not yet been undertaken.
Overall, the site was compliant at the time of inspection.

2.3. The 2015 flood
On 19 and 20 June 2015, the Waitotara Catchment was hit by yet another period of very heavy rain that
caused extensive flooding within the valley and damage to roading and other important infrastructure.

1.3.1 Water abstraction permit
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any

infrastructure was present.
The areas where muds were historically applied were observed to have complete pasture cover across all
areas. The pasture was described as healthy. Due to recent heavy rain the paddock contained lots of ponded
water. The ponded water appeared free of hydrocarbons. The overland flow observed on the foreshore had
lots of iron oxide present and iron oxide was also prevalent at the face of the cliff.

Site inspected in conjunction with groundwater
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
stock. There were issues around keeping buried
product in the ground due to elevated groundwater levels, the officer noted that the pits appeared to be
well managed. At the time of the inspection a discharge pipe to pond 1 had been damaged and product is
leaking into the ground. TBP was advised that this needed to be resolved before the next inspection.
