IRON SAND MINING
In 1848 a smelting operation was established by John Perry on Carrington Road in the vicinity of the Huatoki
stream (Wells 1878:289). Hursthouse, writing a prospectus for the new settlement in 1849, noted the iron sand
deposits on the beaches (Hursthouse 1849:20,131-132). Another smelting operation was attempted in 1869 by a
Wellington based firm, Henochberg and Co., in the vicinity of the Mangaotuku stream, and limited success there
led to the formation

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
Landfarm located on
Manawapou Road near Manutahi (the Site). Disposal activities commenced at this site during
the 2012-2013 monitoring year under the previous operator Remediation (NZ) Limited
(RNZ), the consent was then transferred during June 2014 to WRS.
This report for the period July 2013 – June 2014 describes the monitoring programme
implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess largely RNZ’s
environmental performance during the period under review, and the
by TAG
Oil (NZ) Limited (the Company). BTW (on behalf of TAG Oil) operates a landfarm
(Vanner Landfarm) situated on Lower Ball Road at Kakaramea, in the Mangaroa
catchment.
The Vanner site became operational during the 2011-2012 monitoring period, when
there was a single disposal of 1390 m³ of primarily water/synthetic based cuttings and
fluids, with smaller quantities of contaminated water and soil. The waste spread in
2012-2013 was sourced from the Mangahewa C and D, Sidewinder, Puka
site located on South Road at
Manaia. The site was primarily operational during the previous monitoring period, when
synthetic and water-based muds and rock cuttings were disposed of to land via the process of
landfarming. Activity at the site ceased at the beginning of the 2013-2014 monitoring period, as
available spreading area capacity was reached in the main area of the site, and the decision
was made not to farm the smaller area east of the Rawa Stream. This report for the period July
vibrations were felt prior, during or
after fracturing. Local white baiters situated on Onaero Road questioned by a Council
officer did not feel, see or hear anything unusual.
A re-inspection of the site was carried out on Thursday 29 September 2011. The site,
surrounding land and waterways appeared as they did the previous day. The pilot
flame had been extinguished at time of inspection. A sample of the fluid within the
well was collected.
