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
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.

The site was sodden from torrential
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

producing well and associated infrastructure.
During the 2014-2015 monitoring period, Todd held resource consent 9457-1, authorising the
discharge of contaminants associated with hydraulic fracturing activities into land at depths
greater than 3,200 m TVDss beneath the Mangahewa-E wellsite. The consent was issued by
Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) on 26 February 2013 and contained 16
