single applications of waste. When disposal is complete, the area is reinstated
and monitored until consent surrender criteria have been met.
In a previous monitoring period (2015-2016) the Company provided the Council with sufficient information
to allow for the partial surrender of the Vanner site.
Site description
The Vanner Landfarm is located on Lower Ball Road at Kakaramea, flanked by Origin Energy Ltd’s former
Spence Road Landfarm to the south. These sites are located on
Road at
Mokoia, in the Manawapou catchment. The site was previously owned and operated by Origin Energy
Resources NZ limited, with the production station and associated wellsites divested to WestSide New
Zealand Limited on 1 November 2016. This report for the period 1 November 2016 to 30 June 2017
describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess
the Company’s environmental and consent compliance performance during the period under review.

30.9 µgm-3, and the mean of all results 12 µgm-3. One cluster of results was potentially
influenced by roading works when a nearby carpark was reconstructed. Removing
these samples from consideration, the average PM10 concentration (24-hour
average) measured in New Plymouth across all measurements was 10.7 µgm-3, or
20% of the Ministry’s guideline, with a maximum result of 24.6 µgm-3 and a
minimum of 0.6 µgm-3.

cobbles and boulders mixed in with mainly sands and
lesser silts and clays. These deposits are locally overlain
by ash / tephra comprising gravely fine silts and sands.
In some places, the tephra is over 2m thick. Lahar

Beneficial effects of gravel extraction on river aggradation
Erosion and flooding resulting from aggradation has the potential to impact on the operation and
maintenance of public roading networks and other infrastructural utilities. In particular, the
integrity of bridges, culverts, farm fences, buried pipelines and other structures in river channels
or on land adjoining river channels can be undermined. The associated erosion and flooding may
also impact on high value intensive agricultural

1.2.1 Stratford water supply
The municipal water supply is extracted from the Patea River (main supply) and the Konini Stream (auxiliary
supply) by means of weirs on these watercourses. At the Cardiff Road water treatment plant water is filtered
using membrane filters and then treated with chlorine and fluoride for domestic supply before being
pumped to a nearby reservoir. The water supply is reticulated to approximately 2,300 separate
customers.
Filter backwash is discharged via
communities chosen for study included
nematodes. It was considered that nematode communities would be less susceptible to
mechanical disturbance, and hence a more effective indicator of any possible toxic effects
from the application of wastes, than the larger earthworms.
The study found:
Differences in mean nematode abundance between treatment and controls were much greater
at the Brown Road landfarm (high chloride and high total petroleum hydrocarbons) than
those at the Schrider landfarm
