comments 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. (i) Aprons and access roading These should be constructed of impervious material, and large enough to allow clean out of shed litter and loading for transport off site, without litter falling onto soil, surrounding gravel surfaces, or into any water or drainage

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. 2.0 Site description and

This location was also in close proximity to previous two PM10 sampling sites, to allow comparison with data from previous studies. Figure 2 shows the location of the monitoring site in relation to the residential areas to the south. Figure 1 Taranaki region and landforms
(SDC) maintains a closed landfill located on Victoria Road at Stratford, in the Patea catchment. The landfill was closed to the public on 11 March 2002, and to commercial disposers on 23 March 2002. The site has more recently been used to dewater and dispose of oxidation pond sludge from the adjacent municipal wastewater treatment plant. This activity ceased in early 2006, and the landfill was recapped and reinstated. The only external material now accepted at the landfill is soil from a local

Instream habitat was surveyed in a 2.5 km reach of the Waitara River on 18/2/20 when the flow was 5.1 m3/s. The reach was between Bertrand Road (39 2.946S 174 15.279N) and Methanex’s Motonui Plant water intake (39 3.072S 174 16.124N) and is about 8.5 km from the sea. For most of the reach, the river flowed against a steep boulder lined right bank and the other bank was a gently sloping bank comprising a mixture of gravel, cobble, and boulders.
