Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: an Example of Council(S), Consultant and Contractor Co-Operation to Remove a Historic Blight on the Landscape Kaiaua Landfill Remediation: An example of Council(s), Consultant and Contractor co-operation to remove a historic blight on the landscape. The Kaiaua coastline on the Gulf of Thames is an area of scenic and natural beauty. However, a 205m stretch of the coastline was for 20yrs used as a landfill for disposal of domestic and demolition waste, including asbestos containing material (ACM). Buried in natural hollows and localised excavations, and compressed to less than 1m thick the wastes lay hidden and largely forgotten until coastal erosion and retreat of the shoreline started to expose and wash out the refuse. Hauraki District Council inherited this legacy and decided to do something about it. To achieve a cost effective and practical level of remediation required a pragmatic approach by Regional and District Councils through the consenting process, by the Consultant in planning, verification and oversight, and by the Contractor working within a tight time frame, tidal and environmental constraints. The work also attracted considerable public and press attention. Close liaison and co-operation between all parties was essential during the site works including shared supervision of the work and joint assessment of materials that could be retained. In this paper we describe the constraints affecting the project and approaches used to overcome these to achieve a successful and acceptable level of site remediation. Authors: Ken Read: Principal Engineering Geologist, Opus International Consultants, Hamilton Andre Tibshraeny: Project Manager Hauraki District Council, Paeroa Debbie Dewar: Senior Environmental Scientist, Opus International Consultants, Hamilton Key Words: Landfill, Consenting, Asbestos, Contaminated Land, Remediation Introduction with site materials where possible or imported shelly material from further north on the The former Kaiaua landfill, located shoreline. approximately 1km south of the Kaiaua township is on a narrow strip of land (approximately 15m to 20m wide) between East Coast Road and the shore of the Firth of Thames (Figure1). Landfilling with locally derived waste occurred historically on the site with wastes being placed in low lying areas and covered with locally sourced shelly materials and in places a ‘capping’ of brown rock. At that time the land between the East Coast Road and the shoreline was approximately twice the width of that now seen. Over the years coastal erosion had exposed the waste which was now outcropping on the shoreline and beach creating an environmental nuisance and eyesore (Figure 2). In 2015 Hauraki District Council (HDC) decided to remediate the site by removal of the waste material and reinstate the resulting void Figure 1: Site location Opus International Consultants Limited (Opus) https://rsis.ramsar.org/RISapp/files/RISrep/N was engaged by HDC to carry out a review of Z459RIS.pdf previous work on the site, undertake a contaminated land investigation, prepare a Site usage Remediation Action Plan (RAP) for the site It is unclear when filling of the site started and assist with obtaining the necessary however anecdotal evidence describes waste consents.

Between 1944 and 2006 the coast line is estimated to have eroded line by between 5 and 20m and was continuing to do so. This had resulted in the exposure of waste on the foreshore and beach, and transportation of waste materials southwards along the coast and presumably into the ocean itself. Site Investigations The site was previously in the jurisdiction of Franklin District Council who commissioned investigations of the site in 2001 and 2010. The first of these comprised a series of auger holes and test pits. The second comprised six trenches at regular spacing perpendicular to the foreshore. The conclusions of each phase of work were broadly similar in identifying a thin layer of Figure 2: Waste exposed on coast line waste under a poor ‘capping’ of what is known locally as ‘brown rock’, which is essentially a The project had considerable local support, clay rich gravel material. and attracted significant local and national media interest.

Purpose Section 199 of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 requires a report to be submitted prior to the 30th September 2018 from the District Licensing Committee (DLC) to the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (ARLA) covering the period ending 30th June 2018. Overview of DLC Workload Membership of the Hauraki District Council District Licensing Committee has remained the same. The following serving members continued:- Councillor Paul Milner, the Chairperson, Councillor Gill Leonard who is the Deputy Chairperson, Councillor Carol Daley and the three independent persons Mary Carmine, Denis Taylor and John Goodman. There were no hearings for the Committee to preside over. However, the DLC Chairperson was kept busy reviewing and approving uncontested license applications throughout the period. One application was referred to the Authority, being the Waitakaruru Store Off Licence application. This was returned for Hauraki DLC to determine and given the time delay, it was forwarded to the client for advice as to how they wished to proceed, and the application has not been re-submitted. Local Alcohol Policy Council’s Local Alcohol Policy is now in full effect. The biggest change is that people can no longer buy off-licence alcohol after 9pm.
