Maria Cashmore Maria, Thank You for Sending the Comments By 336 Maria Cashmore ·~~~~·--~r..~--~----m.----~~~----.a·--------------·--~~W..~Mn~~------- From: Malcolm Hunt <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, 23 January 2014 11:01 p.m. To: Maria Cashmore; [email protected] Cc: Neil Jepsen [email protected]); [email protected] Subject: Re: RML13090: Proposed Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Facility at 110 Horoi Road, Rawhitiroa Maria, Thank you for sending the comments by Mr Jepsen on our Horoi Rd noise assessment. We are not sure all the issues raised are important for your Council to be worried about, as we explain below, none of the clarifications sought would have any impact on the overall assessment. Some points raised seem minor and dis not need to be highlighted in the way Mr Jepsen has chosen to do so. I will cover the points he has raised as follows with further detail to be set out within the noise evidence to be presented at the hearing. At Section (i) ofMr Jepsen's report refers to Figure 3 ofthe MHA report which is a diagram presenting information on the sound emission levels ofthe proposed drilling rig. This diagram shows both the unweighted octave band and overall dBA sound power level of Rig 19. The octave band levels are in units dB (not dBA as mistakenly labelled on theY axis). Thus, the diagram shows no unusually high levels of low frequency sound. It is normal for sound level in the lower frequency ranges when depicted as unweighted sound levels. The decibel values shown in Fig 3 are "conceptual" as they are "sound power" values which cannot be heard or assessed against audible sounds as sound power levels are therefore theoretical only. This is why the term "conceptual" was used. Heavy Vehicle noise- due to the technical restrictions of the relevant NZ acoustic Standards, noise generated by vehicles on public roads in NZ is excluded from assessment under Council's district plan noise criteria for activities in rural areas, or indeed any kind of noise assessment against the District Plan or NZ Stds. Instead of including vehicle nosie in the modelling, we have separately calculated (not modelled) traffic noise from heavy vehicles associated with the proposed activity operating on public roads as 24 hour Leq sound levels and compar,ed the increase due to the project to criteria for noise from new or altered roads in NZ. The key is the difference between "modelling'' and 11 Calculation". The sentence makes perfect sense once this distinction is made. Section 7.4 implies the calculated increase in 24 hour road traffic noise is less than 1 dB. We regret that Mr Jespen was not able to understand that (but we think he does, as any nomal reader would). One should also have regard for the low levels of potential noise effects associated heavy vehicles associated with the project which Mr Jepsen has not acknowledged. Firstly, Tale 5 of the MHA report confirms noise from HCV vehicles accessing the site operations will mainly arise during the construction phase. The District Plan clearly signals high noise limits are acceptable for construction activities in rural areas. The effects of the low number ofHCV vehicles per week during the drilling and production stages (if any) is quite minor. This will be covered in the noise evidence to be pres~:nted at the hearing. Mr Jespen notes the samples of ambient sound presented in the report are for short periods. The results shown are but small samples of the readings taken over longer periods as part of our field work. In complaining about the brevity of information contained in the report regarding ambient sound levels, it needs to be acknowledged that there are no requirements for assessments of environmental noise effects to include results of any ambient sound levels readings. Mr Jepsen has not made it clear that under the recommendations of the relevant NZ acoustic standards, or the district plan, there is no mandatory requirement to provide any results of the ambient sound climat'! currently existing in the area. The results we did present are as additional information to demonstrate the general nature of daytime sound 1 levels only. Levels of daytime or night time noise currently found in the area have no bearing on whether 337 expected noise effects would be acceptable in terms of the guidance set out under the District Plan or the relevant NZ Stds. Both these assessment guidelines rely on achieving compliance with stated decibel noise limits at noise sensitive dwelJ.ing sites in the area. The brevity of ambient sound readings has no implications for determining compliance with these guideline limits. In Section IV, Mr Jepsen comments that data on ambient sound readings is not supported by the data given in figure 11. However, our text was referring to the general range of sound levels we found in the area including Lmax and L90 levels. There is a typo as we should not have included the term "L90" on the 3rd and 4th to bottom lines on Page 15 of the MHA report. This reflects the fact that we were generally discussing the full range of levels of sound found in the area during the site visit. Please advise if you require any further information.

The membership of the Committee is made up of all Councillors. The Council invites one representative from each Community Board to attend the meetings where they have speaking rights only. Policy is usually initially developed within the portfolio groups. It is then passed to the Policy and Strategy Committee who will discuss the policies and make recommendations for additions or amendments. Once the Policy and Strategy Committee is happy with the policies the policy is taken to the Full Council meeting for adoption. Health and Safety Message In the event of an emergency, please follow the instructions of Council staff. If there is an earthquake – drop, cover and hold where possible. Please remain where you are until further instruction is given.

ARMOND Foreword One Hundred Years have passed and we are gathered to celebrate an Historic Event, The Centenary of a Grand School, Our School. Over just one weekend, memories of a lifetime will be exchanged, history will be caught up with, old acquaintances will be renewed and no doubt new friendships struck. To this end, we as a committee hope your efforts in attending have been worthwhile and these efforts are rewarded with something of joy to look back on in the years to come. Hawera Main School has an enviable scholastic record and many old pupils have distinguished themselves with merit in their chosen fields in just about every corner of the globe. I have every confidence in the school, its teachers, administrators and the present and future pupils to continue this record. We now look forward as we must do and I know you will all join with me in wishing our school well as it heads towards its second centenary. Because of distance, health and employment difficulties, not everyone could attend and to them, all of us thank you for your thoughts and say we wish you could be with us.
