description
The Company’s operations include a composting, quarrying and vermiculture operation at Mokau Road,
Uruti, and vermiculture operations at Waitara Road. The Waitara Road site also has a processing facility
which blends and refines the finished products. Compliance at the Waitara Road facility is now reported
separately.
The Mokau Road, Uruti composting site was established in late 2001, following removal of composting
operations from the old Winstone Aggregates quarry site, Manutahi
and rendering plant, located on Mountain Road at
Stratford, in the Kahouri Stream catchment, a tributary of the Patea River. The Company currently processes
only beef. Wastewater is treated in a two pond system, which is either irrigated to land when conditions
allow, or to the Kahouri Stream during high flow conditions. This report for the period July 2017 to June
2018 describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to
assess the Company’s
peaks at approximately 1,000 bodies per day.
Paunch and stockyard solids are piped under Tawhiti Road to an area of land adjacent to the plant. The
solids are separated using two (2 mm) rotating milli-screens in series. Screened material containing 15-20%
solids is piled on land to compost. The disposal area is bunded and leachate is drained to a clay-lined
collection lagoon which is periodically pumped to trade waste via the milli-screens. The stream bank is
planted to treat any groundwater

Aerial emissions from the now defunct brass and copper foundry and swarf drying
plant prior to the installation of the baghouse in 1996, have contributed to the
significant concentrations of metals, particularly copper, zinc and lead, now found in
the surface soils at the site. Historical practices relating to the handling and
