HOLDING BACK THE RIVER: The rock wall protecting the old dump beside Awatere River at Te Araroa was doing its job on Sunday, with the river now carving a path right next to the site. The wall is part of emergency works by Gisborne District Council after high tides ate into the old dump earlier this month and washed out ute- loads of rubbish. The council is holding a community meeting tomorrow to discuss a long-term repair for the site, with some locals calling for it to be completely excavated and cleared of rubbish. Te Araroa woman Ripeka Irwin said the “sickening” smell coming from the old dump remained a concern but she understood the council was working to cover the site in more gravel and soil to stymie the odour. District council community lifelines director Dave Wilson said some cover material would be put over the site as part of remedial works. Mr Wilson was in Te Araroa on Friday and did not detect any methane in the odour coming off the old dump. He said odour was generated as waste degraded and it was now being released into the atmosphere because of the landfill breach, which exposed the waste to water and air, as well as the use of construction equipment on top of the site. Contractors would need to stop work immediately if they smelled methane, Mr Wilson said. The community meeting at Hinerupe Marae in Te Araroa begins at 5.30pm. Picture supplied
