Figures from the 2013 census show the total population
of Taranaki stands at 109,608, an increase of 5.3% over
the 2006 census figure. In the previous
are few areas of sheltered water beyond the major
estuaries such as the Tongaporutu, Waitara and Patea
rivers, and the confines of Port Taranaki. The Taranaki
region has a temperate climate with generally
abundant rainfall. The incised nature of ring plain

downwind boundary of the site.
The cap on the closed areas of the landfill (stages 1 & 2) was in good condition and
no issues were noted.

2.2.3 Results of receiving environment monitoring
Chemical analysis
Receiving water sampling was undertaken at sites AWY00103, AWY100105, AWY000100, AWY000107 and
AWY000115 on two occasions (23 November 2020 and 2 February 2021). The locations of these monitoring
sites are shown in Figure 2 and the results of the chemical
a relatively
shallow water table. Test bores were augured to 10 m in the pit area, revealing extensive compacted, low
permeable clays underlying coastal dune sands. Pit construction revealed mostly tightly packed sand at the
pit bases (approximately 4-5 m below surface). Average annual rainfall for the site is 1,023 mm (taken from
the nearby ‘Duffy’ monitoring station). As with the other South Taranaki coastal sites, this site is subject to
strong winds.
