Taranaki District Council (STDC) operates a green waste disposal area located on Beach Road at Patea
Beach. The site was established as a public facility that could accept green waste for sand dune stabilisation
purposes. The site is consented to accept green waste from the Patea community and from STDC’s kerbside
and transfer station collection. This report for the period July 2017 to June 2018 describes the monitoring
programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess
disposal at Colson
Road landfill and the excavation backfilled with clean imported soil.
The discovery of the chemical residues has raised concerns within the community that there could be general dioxin
and other contamination within the landfill and that this contamination could also be affecting the surface of the park.
Park users are concerned that they or their children might be exposed to such contamination in their day-to-day use of
the park.

Valleys tend to channel emissions, preventing
dispersion. Katabatic drift (the movement of air at
night as it cools down) tends to flow down slopes, and
can carry long distances.

These should be constructed of impervious material,
