Resin and Wax Holdings Ltd RESIN AND WAX HOLDINGS LTD Resin and Wax Holdings Ltd Peat Extraction and Processing Project Resource Consent Application September 2019 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page INTRODUCTION 3 RESOURCE CONSENTS REQUESTED 4 SITE DESCRIPTION 4 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL 16 CONSULTATION 33 DISTRICT & REGIONAL PLAN ASSESSMENT 35 ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS 42 SUMMARY 48 2 DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose of this Document This document comprises an application by Resin and Wax Holdings Limited (RWHL) to Far North District Council (FNDC) and Northland Regional Council (NRC) for grant of resource consents to extract and process Kauri peat in Far North for recovery of natural waxes and resin. 1.2 Background Resin and Wax Holdings Ltd (RWHL) is a New Zealand company planning to establish extraction and processing operation at Kaimaumau for recovering resin and wax product from kauri peat. The peat harvesting will be from several farmland sites in Far North. The processing plant will be located on land owned by the local Iwi Te Runanga o Ngai Takoto (Ngai Takoto)at Kaimaumau. RWHL have agreements with the farm owners and Ngai Takoto (at their Sweetwater property) for access to the resource. Ngai Takoto has agreed to provide land for the process plant at Kaimaumau property as part of their strategy to reclaim and derive income from their unproductive Kaimaumau land. The resin and wax project is seen integral to the Iwi’s plan to develop their land and has their full support. The project has significant economic benefits for the region. It will generate $60 million in export earnings when fully implemented and will provide full-time employment to 50 people of which 80%+ will be local hire. In addition, the iwi has plans for a housing development to accommodate construction and operating labour and future workers for their Kaimaumau development plans. A summary of the RWHL proposal is attached in Appendix A. The RWHL operation involves excavating the peat areas, solvent extracting the crude waxes and resins and refining them into finished products for shipment to export markets. The operation has three key elements. i. the extraction of wet peat from the farmlands ii. the processing of peat to recover the natural waxes and resin iii. the return and restoration of spent peat to the same area from where it was extracted. Parts of the NT Kaimaumau property has been used in the past for a similar resin and wax extraction operations (Kaurex 1985). More recently parts have been cleared for kauri log extraction and other farming projects (Sovereign 2009). Over recent years large areas have also been affected by weed and exotic plant infestation including the spread of Sydney Golden Wattle. The other farms are individually owned and in close vicinity to the Kaimaumau plant site. Some of these are in productive use mainly for dry stock whilst some are underdeveloped but being repurposed for agriculture/horticulture purposes. 3 2 RESOURCE CONSENTS REQUESTED RWHL is seeking the following consents from Far North District Council (FNDC) and NRC (Northland Regional Council) to implement this project. Far North District Council . Land use consent for carrying out the proposed activities inclusive of earthworks, vegetation clearance, land drainage, storage and use of solvents, noise emission, and site access, in terms of the District Plan rules on these matters and Section 9 of the RMA. Northland Regional Council . Land use consent for vegetation clearance, land drainage and earthworks pursuant to the Regional Water & Soil Plan and Section 9 of the RMA; . Discharge consent to divert and discharge surface water from draining of the peatlands using existing drains to the lower Waiparera Creek and onto Rangaunu Harbour . Discharge permit for the discharge to ground of treated wastewater from ablution and kitchen facilities associated with the processing plant, in terms of the Regional Water & Soil Plan rules and Section 15 of the RMA; . Discharge permit for the discharge to ground of treated stormwater from outdoor storage, vehicle parking and other impermeable surfaces, in terms of the Regional Water & Soil Plan rules on this matter and Section 15 of the RMA; and . Discharge permit for the discharge to air of contaminants from the processing plant, pursuant to rules of the Regional Water & Soil Plan and Section 15 of the RMA. The completed application form is attached herewith this document. 3 SITE DESCRIPTION 3.1 The Sites The extent and nature of peat resource on the various sites including the NT Sweetwater property, currently in productive farmland and in proximity to the NT Kaimaumau site, are identified in the RWHL Project Overview Report and the Soil & Rock Assessment of Potential Peat Resources together appended as Appendix B. They are also explained in the RWHL Peat Excavation Management Plan in Appendix C. A Quickmap of the target properties (peat sites) is contained in Appendix D.

Arnold, Engineering Experiment Station It is estimated that the annual sawdust pile of the world would be several times as large as the largest skyscraper of New 'York. The sawclust is only about one-fifth of the total waste from the lumber industry. It is estimated that 62 per cent of each tree cut for lumber is wasted. This includes the limbs, top, and stump as well as the waste at the mill. From the sawlogs alone the waste is approximately 49 per cent. Unbreakable dolls and dynamite are only two of the many products made fl-om wood flour which is made from sawdust and other wood wastes. In spite of the immense quantities of sawdust and other wood wastes produced in the United States, we are importing in the neighborhood of 12 million pounds of wood flour every year at a cost of about 90 thousand dollars.

BEEVER1 1 Landcare Research, Private Bag 92170, Auckland, New Zealand Corresponding author; [email protected] 2 University of Hawaii at Manoa, Hawaii, United States of America Abstract Phytophthora Clade 5 is a very poorly studied group of species of oomycete chromists, consisting of only two known species P. castaneae (≡ P. katsurae, nom. illegit.) and P. heveae with most isolates from East Asia and the Pacific Islands. However, isolates of two important disease-causing chromists in Clade 5, one of kauri (Agathis australis) in New Zealand, the other of coconut (Cocos nucifera) in Hawaii, poorly match the current species descriptions. To verify whether these isolates belong to separate species a detailed morphological study and phylogenetic analysis consisting of eight genetic loci was conducted. On the basis of genetic and morphological differences and host specificity, we present the formal description of two new species in Clade 5, Phytophthora agathidicida sp. nov. and Phytophthora cocois sp. nov. To clarify the typification of the other Clade 5 species, an authentic ex-holotype culture of Phytophthora castaneae is designated and P. heveae is lectotypified and epitypified. Key words: nomenclature, oomycete, phylogeny, species description Introduction Phytophthora species are important oomycete chromists (Oomycetes, Peronosporales, Pythiaceae) plant pathogens causing significant disease (Kroon et al.

Photo: Prof. Chen Hualin, CC BY-SA 4.0, zh.wikipedia.org Kauris (Agathis sp.) are conifers Conifers, along with the other Gymnosperms (Cycads and Ginkgoes), first appeared about 300 Ma (Million years ago) at the end of the Carboniferous when the world’s coal deposits were being laid down with the remains of the spore-producing trees of that period. The early conifers looked like modern Araucaria. These trees spread throughout the world and displaced their predecessors. The age of the seed plants had arrived. The conifers are a hardy lot. They survived the largest mass extinction the earth has known, 252 Ma, at the end of the Permian Period. But more challenges lay ahead. Sometime in the next 50 Myr (Million years) one of Gymnosperms gave rise to the flowering plants, the Angiosperms. By 100 Ma, in the Cretaceous period, Angiosperms were widespread. And so the battle began - and still continues to this day. The flowering plants have many features that make them more successful in many environments, so their take-over of many habitats was complete by about 65 Ma at the end of the age of the dinosaurs. But in the world’s harsh environments the conifers continue to not just survive, but flourish.

  • Components and Types of Varnishes
    Components and types of Varnishes Varnish is traditionally a combination of a drying oil, a resin, and a thinner or solvent. However, different types of varnish have different components. After being applied, the film-forming substances in varnishes either harden directly, as soon as the solvent has fully evaporated, or harden after evaporation of the solvent through curing processes, primarily chemical reaction between oils and oxygen from the air (autoxidation) and chemical reactions between components of the varnish. Resin varnishes "dry" by evaporation of the solvent and harden almost immediately upon drying. Acrylic and waterborne varnishes "dry" upon evaporation of the water but will experience an extended curing period. Oil, polyurethane, and epoxy varnishes remain liquid even after evaporation of the solvent but quickly begin to cure, undergoing successive stages from liquid or syrupy, to tacky or sticky, to dry gummy, to "dry to the touch", to hard. Environmental factors such as heat and humidity play a very large role in the drying and curing times of varnishes. In classic varnish the cure rate depends on the type of oil used and, to some extent, on the ratio of oil to resin. The drying and curing time of all varnishes may be sped up by exposure to an energy source such as sunlight, ultraviolet light, or heat. Drying oil There are many different types of drying oils, including linseed oil, tung oil, and walnut oil. These contain high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Drying oils cure through an exothermic reaction between the polyunsaturated portion of the oil and oxygen from the air.

Tens of thousands of years ago, giant Kauri trees (Agathis Australis) formed vast forests over much of Northland. Before the Europeans arrived and begun to cut down the existing Kauri for timber, a lot of these great forests had disappeared, probably due to changing forces of nature and climate.

  • The Management of Kauri Forests :A Historical Review of Government Policy and a Proposal for the Future
    THE MANAGEMENT OF KAURI FORESTS :A HISTORICAL REVIEW OF GOVERNMENT POLICY AND A PROPOSAL FOR THE FUTURE Abstract The his tor^^ of government and naiioizal attitudes toward kauri forestry in New Zealand from the early 19th century to the prtsent is examined. The most seviour shortcomings have been the inability to recognize that kauri management may have a place in New Zealand forest pruclice, and the stopgo attitude toward research which has held back any real pro- gress. The Government's "New Kauri Policy" is discussed and sug- gestions made for its better implementation. INTRODUCTION In the Direct01 of Forests' report of 1960 (A.J.H.R., p 18) we read: "No national activity in the whole history of New Zealand has received so much lip service as indigcnous forestry. ." This paper is an attempt to review government policy on kauri management. It begins when kauri was king and sup- suplied most of the timber for the infant colony. At that timc there was so much timber that no one ever thought it would run out. However, a little over one hundred years ago the first notes of cautioln were sounde~d,although it tooik fifty years more before much notice was taken and by then it was almost too late for the indigenous forests of New Zealand. Even when the Forest Service was set up in 1919 and commenced a definite policy of forest protection the attitude toward the indigenous forest had a curious ambivalence. On one hand, it was thought that the native forests could not be managed and were thus not worth considering on economic grounds.

  • Non-Wood Forest Products from Conifers
    NO\ -WOOD FOREST PROaCTS 12 Non-wood forest products from conifers Food and Agriculture Organizahon of the United Nations NO \--WOOD FOREST PRODUCTS 12 Non-wood forest products from conifers by William M. Ciesla European Forest Institute FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Rome, 1998 Reprinted 2001 This paper discusses both traditional and contemporary uses of products from conifers. This material is presented for information only and does not imply endorsement by the author or by FAO. Some of those products have medicinal purposes; however, they should only be used under the care and guidance of a qualified physician. Transport of certain non-wood forest products (e.g. foliage, Christmas trees, seeds and landscape or ornamental plants) across international boundaries poses a risk of accidental transport and introduction of insects, fungi or other potentially destructive agents.Itis recommended that anyone planning to move plant materials across international boundaries check with appropriate authorities in the country from which the products are to be exported and the countries into which the products are to be imported for import permit requirements or restrictions which might apply. Movement of non-wood forest products across international boundaries may be subject to trade restrictions (both tariff and non-tariff). Appropriate authorities should be contacted prior to planned movement of any non-wood forest products across international boundaries. A review of trade restrictions affecting international trade in non-wood forest products may be found in Non-Wood Forest Products No. 8, 1995. The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

    IELTS Exam Training Courses GT Reading Test 10 Section 3 KAURI GUM - a piece of New Zealand’s history A The kauri tree is a massive forest tree native to New Zealand. Kauri once formed vast forests over much of the north of the country. Whereas now it is the wood of the kauri which is an important natural resource, in the past it was the tree’s sap (the thick liquid which flows inside a tree) which, when hardened into gum, played an important role in New Zealand’s early history. After running from rips or tears in the bark of trees, the sap hardens to form the lumps of gum which eventually fall to the ground and are buried under layers of forest litter. The bark often splits where branches fork from the trunk, and gum accumulates there also. The early European settlers in New Zealand collected and sold the gum. Gum fresh from the tree was soft and of low value but most of the gum which was harvested had been buried for thousands of years. This gum came in a bewildering variety of colours, degree of transparency and hardness, depending on the length and location of burial, as well as the health of the original tree and the area of the bleeding. Highest quality gum was hard and bright and was usually found at shallow depth on the hills. Lowest quality gum was soft, black or chalky and sugary and was usually found buried in swamps, where it had been in contact with water for a long time.
