Subject: Official Information request - GWRC [redacted by FYI.org.nz] Part II
Dear Wellington Regional Council,

I am investigating as to why the GWRC allowed International Waste Ltd to
breach their discharge permit for years on end whilst taking no
enforcement action against them.

1. I'd like a copy of all communications and meeting notes between the
GWRC and the following people

Christopher Phillip Flavell
Hamish Paul Sisson
Lincoln Hartley Falconer
Kelly Sutton
Blair Chalmers
Valentin Czibesz

And also a copy of all communications between International Waste Ltd
otherwise known as Interwast and the GWRC.

2. I'd also like to know if anybody within the environmental team or any
of the executives at the GWRC have a special relationship with Christopher
Phillip Flavell, Hamish Paul Sisson, Lincoln Hartley Falconer or Kelly
Sutton.

3. Finally I'd like to know why the GWRC told Worksafe that the emissions
which were in breach of the Discharge Permit coming from Interwaste
located at 10 Broken Hill Road is within council spec based on an annual
biofilter report that has no bearing on the emissions coming from this
property. Who was responsible for this and if you're not willing to name
anybody what job title was responsible for making this decision?

Yours faithfully,
K. Roestenburg
