managed, and the tip face appeared stable. No cracking or
slumping was evident on either the fill area or the tip face. The pre-fill gully was well grassed with no sign of
sediment runoff.
The stormwater drains were grassed and contained minor amounts of stormwater following heavy rain the
previous day. The stormwater ponds were moderately full, and the final pond was discharging at a trickle
flow. There was no visible effect noticeable in the receiving waters downstream of the discharge. Silt

11 January 2017
Conditions were fine with a moderate westerly wind. It had rained in the catchment in the two days
preceding the inspection. The camp was reasonably quiet during the inspection, with seven camping parties
present on site. There was no weed coverage on the western filter bed and low coverage on the eastern
bed. There was a small amount of ponding on the western bed (<5% of the surface) and no ponding on the
eastern bed. There was a noticeable
summary of historical bacteriological results from January 1993 to January 2013 is
presented in Table 3. The results of the bacteriological monitoring undertaken during
the 2013-2014 summer monitoring period are presented in Table 4. Although it was
not raining on the morning of sample collection (9 January 2014) there had been
heavy rainfall overnight which is reflected in the high faecal indictor bacteria counts
obtained (Table 4).
Table 3 Summary of previous bacteriological results
The site is approximately 2.4ha in size
and comprised of cutover semi-coastal Tawa, kohekohe, rewarewa, hinau, podocarp forest remnants on
hill slopes, flat land and stream terraces. The remnants are of a native forest type that is classified as
'Chronically Threatened' in Taranaki and falls within 'Acutely Threatened' Land Environment (LENZ)
F5.2b. Remnants such as this provide important habitat for common, rare and threatened species. Barrels

of waste to landfill peaked at 65,257 tonnes in 2013-2014
What we know
and reduced significantly from 2015 when all three
district councils aligned their recycling collection services
and created a regional materials recovery facility in New
Plymouth to process recyclables. In 2014, the waste to
landfill in the region per person was 595kg falling to 311kg
per person in 2020-2021.
In Stratford and South Taranaki, there has been additional
contaminants. Only a pilot flare was operating. The
API separator and all bunds and ring drains were clear. Everything was satisfactory.

The site was inspected during fine weather with no significant rain having occurred for
a week or more. The skimmer pits were clear and not discharging. The ring drains were
free of contaminants and a frog was in residence at the top end of the drain. Some
flaring was being undertaken, but this was very minor and no downwind effects were
noted. The
monitoring bore GND2103 varied in
response to abstraction from GND2010. When abstraction volumes increase over the summer months the
groundwater levels fall in response and during the winter months, when abstraction decreases, the
groundwater levels recover.
In summary, groundwater level monitoring data gathered by the Council does not indicate any long-term
reduction in shallow or deep groundwater levels as a result of the abstraction authorised by consent 7470-
1.2. As such, the potential for
