DISTRIBUTION, BREEDING AND FEEDING
Banded kokopu are primarily a lowland species but can penetrate up to
180km inland, and to elevations of 550m. This has allowed them to
establish some landlocked populations in lakes in central New Zealand.
They are exceptional climbers and can scale steep falls to reach higher
catchments.

no resulting smoke or odours. No discharge was occurring from the skimmer pits but
recent rain had elevated suspended solids content in the stormwater which may have
required the pits to be cleaned out.

No drilling was being undertaken at the time of inspection. Most of the exploration
equipment had been moved to Cheal-B and C wellsites. The production facilities were
neat and tidy. There was no discharge off site. Some silt
bubbling, though not odorous. A concrete apron had been constructed beside the first
pond for easier wash-down and odour control. The storm drain pond beside the bio-
filter was emitting a slight sulphurous odour. More trees had been removed along the
front fence of the house opposite, which was now plainly visible.
