Patea Freezing Works – Site Investigation & Fire PATEA FREEZING WORKS – SITE INVESTIGATION & FIRE Shane Reynolds Scientific Officer Taranaki Regional Council Phone: 06 765 7127 Email: [email protected] Introduction A freezing works was established on the present site, on the banks of an estuary in Patea, in 1881. It grew to become the life blood of the district, employing some 900 people at the height of processing. In the early 1980’s a national over processing capacity became apparent and with it’s reputation for industrial stoppages, Patea was one of the first works to close, ceasing operations in 1982. The effect on the town was devastating and as the years went by, the derelict and decaying works did little to improve the outlook for the residents that remained. In the South Taranaki District Council’s [STDC] consultation process for community and district plans, the issue of the derelict works regularly came up in both public meetings and submissions. There was a general feeling of dissatisfaction within the community of Patea always being referred to as, “the town with the old freezing works”. This was the catalyst for STDC approaching the Taranaki Regional Council [Council] in April 2007 and requesting assistance to investigate potential contamination of the site. With a view to its ultimate remediation an hence to submit an application to the Contaminated Sites Remediation Fund [CSRF], administered by Ministry for the Environment [MfE]. This would become the largest contaminated site investigation ever undertaken by the Council. Preliminary Site Inspection A desktop study was conducted to gather as much information as possible about the site and a preliminary inspection was made. The following issues were identified as requiring further investigation and were the basis of a “scope of work”: Underground fuel storage tanks – remove three identified tanks and quantify any residual contamination. Boiler fuel oil storage - bund and product lines to the boilerhouse Fill areas – trench, log and sample Groundwater - existing wells, install monitoring wells Asbestos – options for disposal Electrical and mechanical equipment – PCBs and tank sludges Reservoirs – sample water and sludge Fellmongery – paint mix tanks Stormwater and surface water – sample to determine quality and impacts on estuary Miscellaneous issues – coal tar seal, and dust/debris in buildings - 1 - Based on the information gathered, a list of the possible contaminants associated with historical activities at the works was developed and is shown in the table below. HAIL Activity Issue Potential contaminants 6 Building materials Roofing and cladding Asbestos Paint Lead Galvanising Zinc 36 Fuel storage Underground storage tanks and spills TPH, BTEX, PAH 41 Rail shunting Coal ash disposal Heavy metals, PAH Refuelling Hydrocarbons 46 Fellmongery Wool stripping, liming, neutralizing and pickling Chromium, manganese, copper, ammonia, sulphides, acids, sodium hydroxide, lime, formaldehyde, solvents, cyanide 49 Waste disposal Solids to fill areas, liquids to estuary Various Boilers and engine Coal ash/clinker disposal Heavy metals, PAH room Lagging Asbestos Electrical equipment Capacitors and transformers PCBs Cool stores Refrigeration plant Ammonia or ammonium hydroxide (if contacted water) HAIL: Hazardous Activities and Industries List TPH: total petroleum hydrocarbons BTEX: benzene, toluene, ethylene, xylenes PAH: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PCBs: polychlorinated biphenyls An overall assessment of contamination at the site was then possible and is summarised in the table below. Contaminant Extent of Contamination Possible Exposure Routes TPH Site inspection confirmed the likely presence of 3 UST’s, age Soil/Dermal BTEX and condition unknown, extent of contamination difficult to Groundwater/Ecological risk gauge. PAH Asbestos Site inspection and previous sampling have confirmed Airborne/Inhalation extensive contamination. Heavy metals On site coal and incinerator ash disposal confirmed by past Soil PAH employee and identified at surface on site inspection, Surface water/Ecological risk extensive contamination of soil in fill areas is likely. Groundwater/Ecological risk A report and CSRF application were submitted to MfE and funding was approved for costs associated with a detailed site investigation. - 2 - The fire and detailed site investigation Progress on the investigation was significantly delayed by a fire which broke out in the early hours of Waitangi Day, 6 February 2008. The fire raged through most of the main body of buildings on the site. The Freezing and Cold Storage Buildings (predominantly timber) in the centre of the site were completely destroyed, the Slaughter House to the east was significantly damaged and a number of buildings west of the Boiler House were also completely destroyed. The fire meant that further site work had to be postponed until (i) the fire was extinguished, including actions undertaken by the Fire Service to gain access to hotspots buried beneath fallen debris; (ii) the resultant asbestos risk was dealt with to the satisfaction of the Department of Labour [DoL], to ensure that staff could continue working around the site in safety; and (iii) the scope and scale of the site investigations were reviewed to take account of the changed nature and characteristics of the site, particularly the likelihood that asbestos fibres had been released across the site due to shattering and fragmentation of asbestos sheeting and disintegration of asbestos lagging on pipework during the fire and consequent fire-fighting activities. The objectives of the detailed investigation, were to: determine whether potential contaminants identified in the preliminary report were present, establish the locations and extent of such contamination, assess the potential for off-site effects, and assist in the development of appropriate options for site remediation. Completed works Underground fuel storage tanks Contractors removed two tanks, the pits were inspected and sampled by an environmental consultant who recommended that a small amount of bedding material was also removed. At a third site no tank was found, although concrete slabs, pipework and tank straps indicated the location was correct. Excavation soon revealed what appeared to be extensive petrol residues in the soil, and approximately 100 m3 of soil was consequently removed. This was stockpiled on site along with the contaminated bedding material. It was regularly turned by excavator to aid in degradation of the hydrocarbons. Almost three weeks later, approximately 20 samples were collected from the surface of the stockpiled soil and composited for heavy metal TPH, BTEX and PAH analysis. Boiler fuel storage The boiler fuel oil tanks had previously been removed, inspection of the tank bund showed no obvious signs of soil contamination. At one point the pipework to the boiler house was rusted through and oil had leaked onto a concrete pad. This was soaked up with bedding material from the tank pits and added to the stockpile of contaminated soil. - 3 - Fill areas An 85 m long trench had been excavated parallel to the estuary to capture water run off from fighting the fire. Inspection of the trench spoil confirmed that extensive dumping of building rubble had occurred in this area. A band of dark material approximately 100 mm thick was present at a depth of around 1 m, along almost the entire length of the trench. Possibly deposits from the dumping of coal ash/clinker from the boilers, samples of this material were collected at 10 m intervals. Thirteen test pits were excavated on terraces in the south east and south west corners of the site and samples were collected from any areas of interest. Overall a total of 18 samples of fill material were collected for heavy metal and PAH analysis. Groundwater Eight existing bores on the site were inspected, samples were collected from two and analysed for heavy metals. They were considered unsuitable for use as monitoring wells due to their depth, as potential groundwater contamination was more likely to be affecting shallow groundwater. The groundwater level in four, was surveyed in order to model the groundwater flow direction. Using this information, one background and four monitoring wells were installed and one sample was collected from each well to be analysed for heavy metals, PAH and TPH. Asbestos A proposal was obtained from a specialist contractor for the removal of asbestos, demolition of buildings and reinstatement of the site. Seven samples of dust/debris were collected from the floor of safely accessible buildings across the site and analysed for asbestos. Electrical and mechanical equipment The Council was alerted to the location of a number of transformers containing PCBs. These were removed and disposed of, following appropriate procedures, however some PCB equipment could not be safely removed for disposal and remains on site. A number of tanks and vessels were identified and visual inspection indicated that most have corroded to the point where it is reasonable to assume that they contain no liquid residues, however the presence of solid chemical residues cannot be discounted. Reservoirs The main reservoir was supplied from the Patea River when the works was operational. It was pumped out of water during the fire, exposing a minimal amount of sludge in the bottom. The sludge would have consisted of silts and sediments from river water, so no samples were taken. A smaller reservoir partly beneath the south west corner of the Boiler House, contained water and a sample of the sediment on the bottom was collected for heavy metal, TPH and PAH analysis. Fellmongery – paint mix area Paint is a chemical depilatory applied to sheep skins to dissolve the fibre root allowing for easy removal of the wool. The active ingredient is sodium sulphide which is dissolved in water and thickened with a hydrated lime slurry. These ingredients react to form sodium - 4 - hydrosulphide and caustic soda in the final product which is highly alkaline. Two soil samples were collected from this area and tested for pH, to determine impacts on soil. Stormwater and surface water All water drains south, from the site to the estuary and then into the Patea River.

    10. South Taranaki Fighting in South Taranaki began when General Cameron’s invasion army marched north from Whanganui on 24 January 1865. This was a major New Zealand campaign, exceeded in the number of Pākehā troops only by the Waikato War a year earlier. A chain of redoubts protected communications, notably on each bank of the Waitotara, Patea, Manawapou and Waingongoro rivers. Pā were mostly inland, at or near the bush edge, and were left alone. The invasion halted at Waingongoro River on the last day of March 1865. British troops then stayed on at the redoubts, while colonial forces took Māori land in return for service, with local fortifications put up for refuge and defence. On 30 December 1865, General Chute marched north from Whanganui on a very different campaign. By the time his combined British Army, colonial and Whanganui Māori force returned on 9 February 1866, seven fortified pā and 21 kāinga had been attacked and taken in search and destroy operations. When British regiments left South Taranaki later that year, colonial troops took over the garrison role. Titokowaru’s 1868–69 campaign was an outstanding strategic episode of the New Zealand Wars. Colonial troops were defeated at Te Ngutu o te Manu and Moturoa and forced back to Whanganui, abandoning Pākehā settlement north of Kai Iwi but for posts at Patea and Wairoa (Waverley). The Māori effort failed early in 1869 when Tauranga Ika, the greatest of Titokowaru’s pā, was given up without a fight. In the years that followed, Pākehā settlers on Māori land were protected by Armed Constabulary and militia posts.

  • Soldiers & Colonists
    SOLDIERS & COLONISTS Imperial Soldiers as Settlers in Nineteenth-Century New Zealand John M. McLellan A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Victoria University of Wellington 2017 i Abstract The approximately 18,000 imperial troops who arrived in New Zealand with the British regiments between 1840 and 1870 as garrison and combat troops, did not do so by choice. However, for the more than 3,600 non-commissioned officers and rank and file soldiers who subsequently discharged from the army in New Zealand, and the unknown but significant number of officers who retired in the colony, it was their decision to stay and build civilian lives as soldier settlers in the colony. This thesis investigates three key themes in the histories of soldiers who became settlers: land, familial relationships, and livelihood. In doing so, the study develops an important area of settler colonialism in New Zealand history. Discussion covers the period from the first arrival of soldiers in the 1840s through to the early twentieth century – incorporating the span of the soldier settlers’ lifetimes. The study focuses on selected aspects of the history of nineteenth-century war and settlement. Land is examined through analysis of government statutes and reports, reminiscences, letters, and newspapers, the thesis showing how and why soldier settlers were assisted on to confiscated and alienated Māori land under the Waste Lands and New Zealand Settlement Acts. Attention is also paid to documenting the soldier settlers’ experiences of this process and its problems. Further, it discusses some of the New Zealand settlements in which military land grants were concentrated.

Cover: Alexandra Redoubt, near Tuakau, was established by British troops the day after General Cameron crossed the Mangatawhiri River on 12 July 1863 at the start of the Waikato War. The earthwork fortification was located to secure the right flank of the invasion route and to protect military transport to the front on the Waikato River 100 m below. The outstanding preservation is a result of the redoubt now being within an historic reserve and cemetery. See Section 3.10 in the report. Photo: Nigel Prickett, April 1992.
