42 EMROP: Waihi North Project WAI-985-000-PLN-LC-0001_Rev0 clean of 2% SteriGENE solution and a 1 L spray bottle of the SteriGENE solution shall be kept and maintained in a suitable container. 3.2.4.4 Disposal of Contaminated Organic Material • Where PA is identified from soil tests, felled kauri trees and soil within 3 x canopy drip line must be disposed of at a facility approved by the National Kauri Dieback Programme. Currently, the closest facility approved for receiving PA-infected organic material is the Tirohia landfill in Paeroa, operated by Waste Management (6332 State Highway 26). • There may also be opportunities for contaminated soil material to also be disposed of within the tailings facility prior to the last tailings deposition. This will ensure that any such soil will become buried under subsequent tailings. • Soil for disposal shall be dampened with water and covered prior to transportation at all times. • Soil or organic material from this location must not be transported beyond the Management Area unless it is taken to an approved KDP landfill for disposal (see the guidelines for Landfill disposal guidelines below). • All soil and vegetation lifted from the Management Area must be loaded into a tip-truck / tip-trailer fitted with a sealed liner that is robust enough to contain the material without leaking during loading and transporting. • Waste Management should be provided with at least 24 hours’ notice to accept site waste, which can be done by calling 0800 113 340. Vehicles used for transporting organic matter need to be securely covered as to prevent the release of potentially infected material en route. The vehicle should be thoroughly sanitised as per the methods outlined above.
