Allied Asphalts Ltd (the applicant) is an asphalt manufacturing company situated in Mount Maunganui.

The Applicant is applying to Bay of Plenty Regional Council (RM22-0649) for a new consent to discharge contaminants to air from its asphalt plant at 54 Aerodrome Road, Mount Manganui. This application is to replace their previous consent (62740) which expired on 30 July 2020.

The contaminants discharged to air and their sources are:

• Fine particulate matter (PM₁₀ and PM_2.5) from the combustion of fuels, from the drying, tumbling and screening of aggregates and from the condensation of organic contaminants volatilised during the manufacture of asphalt.
• Products of combustion of fuel: Sulphur dioxide (SO₂)., Oxides of nitrogen (NO_X), and Carbon monoxide (CO).
• Volatile organic compounds from the heating of bitumen (benzene, acetaldehyde and formaldehyde).
• Odour from the mixing of bitumen with heated aggregate, from the warm storage of bitumen and from the storage and handling of hot-mix asphalt.
• Dust from site operation such as vehicle movements and materials handling.
• Dust from demolition and construction.

The current asphalt plant has a processing capacity of up to 80 tonnes of hot mix asphalt per hour, the actual rate depends on the type of aggregate, moisture, product type and tonnage required. The applicant burns recycled oil fuels as an alternative to and/or to supplement natural gas. The applicant is proposing to construct a new asphalt plan to replace the existing one. This proposed asphalt plant will have greater throughput capacity than the existing plant, however, production volumes are expected to be similar to current volumes. The increased capacity will reduce the number of operating hours needed to produce asphalt, with increased overall efficiency and reduced emissions.

Compared with the existing asphalt plant, the proposed asphalt plant will have several significant advantages including:

• Lower emissions of particulate matter with a predicted 78% reduction in 24-hour and annual PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations;
• Lower energy consumption;
• Lower greenhouse gas emissions; and
• Alternative fuel capability.

This application is for the discharge of contaminants to air from the existing manufacturing plant, while the applicant constructs a new technically advanced plant on the same site and for the discharge from the new asphalt plant. In addition, a number of ancillary activities and consents are required, such as for the discharge of stormwater from the site, earthworks and disturbance of contaminated land. The redevelopment of the site includes updating the stormwater system, which will result in improved management of stormwater quality through diversion of potentially contaminated water to trade waste, and improved treatment stormwater runoff.

Once the new plant is commissioned and tested the current plant will be decommissioned. Should consent be granted, the applicant proposes that the changeover in plants is likely to occur within 18 months. The site has been used for asphalt manufacturing since 1970. The asphalt plant was last replaced in 1997.

The Applicant is applying to Tauranga City Council (RC29596) to redevelop their site, including the construction of a new asphalt plant, at 54 Aerodrome Road, Mount Maunganui, this includes:

Construct a new asphalt plant, with associated industrial land use and height exceedance;

• Undertake earthworks and associated contaminated land disturbance;
• Change the access configuration;
• Emit noise as part of construction and ongoing operations;
• Store and use hazardous substances; and
• Discharge stormwater to the Tauranga City Council stormwater system.

Submissions on these applications close at 5.00pm on Monday, 12 June 2023. When making your submission, please clearly identify which of the two applications you are submitting on or where submitting on both applications be clear about your reasons and the outcome you are seeking. Where possible, please use each Council’s template submission form.

Higgins Group Holdings Limited (the applicant) have applied for resource consent to discharge contaminants, being particulate matter 10 (PM₁₀), odour, nitrogen dioxide (NO₂)_, carbon monoxide (CO) and Sulphur dioxide (SO₂), to air from the production of asphalt and associated yard activities at 92 Hewletts Road, Mount Maunganui.

The applicant previously held resource consent 63317 to undertake the same activity, this consent expired on 20 September 2020. The applicant lodged a replacement application more than six months prior to the expiry of their previous consent and therefore were automatically afforded the right to continue operating under their previous consent, under section 124(3).

The applicant has generally complied with their previous resource consent with exception to operations in 2011/2012.  Emission testing in October 2011 showed a significant non-compliance with the allowed limits of 250 mg/m3 (STP, dry) and 2.5 kg/hr for average concentration and mass emission. In response the applicant upgraded the scrubber and demister which brought the discharge back into compliance. Smoke and odour complaints led to an Abatement Notice and an Infringement Notice in 2022.

The applicant operates a parallel-flow drum mix, diesel-fired asphalt plant, which operates on a continuous basis, with the drum used to both dry and heat aggregate and mix liquid bitumen with hot aggregate to produce hot mix asphalt. The plant has a maximum production capacity of 60 tonnes per hour (tph). The plant is generally run daily from 7.00 am until 6.30 pm to meet average demand, however there are times when the plant runs through the night to meet demand. The annual maximum capacity of the plant production is 75,000 tonnes per year (tpy), whereas the historical maximum annual production has been 50,000 tpy. The applicant proposes to run the operation to have a maximum annual production of 50,000 tpy.

The plant is equipped with a venturi water scrubber to control particulate and other emissions. Combustion gases, dust, bitumen volatile matter and pyrolysis products are drawn by an induced draught fan through the venturi scrubber before being discharged to air via a 13 metre (m) high stack. The proposal is to continue operating at the historical maximum with no additional mitigation measures, meaning that the applicant’s contribution to the individual and cumulative effects of PM₁₀ discharges within the Airshed are not changing from the historical max in 2019 (noting in 2020 and 2021 annual production was between 30,000-40,000 tpy).

Genera Limited has applied for resource consent to discharge contaminants into air from fumigation for quarantine application or pre-shipment application at the Port of Tauranga. The application is to continue, and modify, the fumigation activities authorised by existing resource consent number 62719.

The Applicant is seeking authorisation for the discharge of the following contaminants to air associated with the fumigation activities:

• Methyl Bromide (MB);
• Phosphine;
• Ethanedinitrile (EDN).

As a result of the decisions of the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) on the MB Reassessment and on the use of EDN, the Applicant has revised the Proposal to align the regulatory controls of the EPA with the resource consents. The fumigation activities are proposed to be undertaken within the Port and setback from the Port boundary by a buffer. The revised application includes detail on the methodology for undertaking the fumigation activities, including a number of Standard Operating Procedures specifically relating to the handling of fumigants. Specifically, the Application is for:

Methyl Bromide

MB is an odourless, colourless gas, used internationally as a broad spectrum fumigant. MB is of high toxicity by oral, subcutaneous and inhalation routes of exposure. MB is also a known irritant to the eyes, skin and mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract in humans. MB is an Ozone Depleting Gas (ODG). The use of MB is authorised in New Zealand for biosecurity use, as long as there is a continued reduction in its use and alternatives are used where possible.

The proposed fumigation process for MB includes:

• securely containing the fumigation area;
• the application of fumigant within the contained space;
• the circulation of the fumigant for a specified period of time (depending on concentration requirements and material being fumigated);
• the implementation of recapture technology (which includes sucking the fumigant out of the application area through a carbon filter); and
• the managed ventilation of the fumigation area to allow for the dispersal of remaining fumigant.

Phosphine

Phosphine is a colourless, flammable, and explosive gas at ambient temperature that has the odour of garlic or decaying fish. Phosphine is widely used as a rapid acting fumigant that does not leave residue on the stored product as an alternative to MB. The Applicant is proposing to continue to use phosphine for fumigation activities of ship holds (when ships are in transit), cargo under sheets and grain/flour in containers. Fumigation events using Phosphine are typically for periods of 10 to 15 days.

EDN

EDN, also known as cyanogen, is a toxic, colourless gas with a pungent and penetrating almond-like odour. It has a boiling point of -21°C and is normally supplied as a pressurised liquid. The Applicant is proposing that the management of fumigation activities with EDN includes the use of buffer zones, active monitoring and an adaptive management monitoring regime. No recapture of EDN is proposed and controls would be put in place to manage venting.

The Revised Application utilises fumigation methodology so that ‘effective recapture’ is achieved for all MB fumigation activities. As such, the Proposal is considered as a discretionary activity under the Regional Natural Resources Plan. Previously, prior to the EPA Decision and the revision of the application, the Applicant had identified that in some instances effective recapture of MB is unable to be employed and as a result, the Proposal fell to be considered as a non-complying activity. A term of 10 years is sought.
