ammoniacal nitrogen in samples. The
autumn sampling in 2013-2016 sampling periods were collected after heavy rainfall which resulted in
elevated the ammoniacal nitrogen concentrations of the samples compared to those collected in 2009-2012

Facilitate the continued development and maintenance of Yarrow Stadium and ensure that Tupare, Hollard Gardens
and Pukeiti are maintained as regionally significant recreational and heritage amenities.

Average annual rainfall for the site is 1,383 mm (taken from nearby Motunui monitoring station). There are
no significant surface water bodies located in the immediate vicinity of the areas that are landfarmed, other
than small farm drains. Previous land use at the Wellington section of the landfarm has been a mixture of
agriculture and small scale
has been identified as black loamy sand and vegetation growth is primarily a
mixture of pasture and dune grasses. Test pitting and the logging of boreholes on site indicated 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

operates. That programme (the Freshwater Contact Recreational Water Quality programme)
is designed to represent water quality at times when people are most likely to be swimming
(i.e. after rainfall events). It was never intended to present an ‘overall’ water quality picture
and the reviewers do not acknowledge the purpose of the programme. However, the Council
has always carried out some freshwater recreational quality monitoring at a few sites
regardless of weather and river
undertaken and no smoke or odours were noted.

A site inspection was undertaken in response to self notification from STOS regarding
extreme rainfall that occurred at the site. The stormwater system had 'overtopped' due
to the excess rainfall. At the time of the inspection (a few days later) the stream had
reverted to its normal flow and no downstream effects were noted. Ring drains and
bunds were clear and the site was neat and tidy. Minimal flaring was being undertaken
at the
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.

It was found that the drain pipe for the contaminated spring water discharge had been
extended and it was noted that the downstream drain had recently been cleaned out.
The inspection at the sawmill site found that silt control sumps and stormwater
collection drains had recently been cleaned out. It was noted that heavy rainfall in the
past had caused excess stormwater runoff from the site to discharge to the
neighbouring railways site. The inspecting officer was informed that a ponding
