to ensure all associated wastes are dealt with, and that adequate provisions are in place for the increase in throughput. 1.3 Resource consents 1.3.1 Water abstraction permit 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.

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. 8 August 2016 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. 4 May 2022 At the time of the inspection, the inspecting officer was advised that heavy rain had contributed to high groundwater levels

Air quality in Taranaki The Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) requires councils to have regional plans to address regional resource management issues.

Ecological Values Sustainability - Positive In good vegetative condition. Under appropriate management, the forest fragments can remain resilient and continue to contribute to the wider ecological context. Representativeness - Low Cathie Native Bush is a good example of Rata, tawa, kamahi, podocarp forest (MF7-2) and contains vegetation associated with LENZ environment F5.3b. This type of forest is considered less reduced and better protected in Taranaki due to extensive areas falling under

in Taranaki include 27 pest animals, 22 pest plants, and 4 pest fish. The control of all of them falls into three categories. 1. Eradication – This is the complete removal of the pest from Taranaki. An example is the rook, a crow-like bird that causes considerable damage to pasture. To the best of our knowledge we believe there are no longer any rooks living in Taranaki. 2. Containment – Where we feel that total eradication of a pest is not possible, we
