inspection and 27 mm of rainfall had been recorded over the previous week at the
Brooklands Zoo weather station. Pond SV8000 contained 900 m3 of stormwater, while SV9000 was full at
275 m3 and had overtopped into SV9100. The ponds had a clear appearance with some wind-blown pollen
with no sheen or odours noted. The incinerator was still offline, but was expected to be recommissioned in
October. Site housekeeping was excellent. All roadways and stormwater catchments were clean.

Zealand, where high rainfall and poor drainage provide
ideal conditions for it to establish. Due to land clearance and drainage, it is
now quite scarce or absent over much of its former range.
Swamp maire is an early to mid-succession canopy species that is frost
tender and shade intolerant. It requires high light levels, caused by some
disturbance event such as tree fall, for new seedlings to establish.
SWAMP MAIRE IN TARANAKI
Historically, swamp maire was plentiful
land
as a general rule.
Allowing discharges of treated dairy effluent to water
in exceptional circumstances – for example, on farms
on high-risk soils and on the upper ring plain where
there is high rainfall and drainage density, limiting the
ability to irrigate to land. High levels of treatment
would be required.
Requiring land treatment systems to have adequately
sized and lined holding ponds to meet storage
requirements.
Requiring feed pad
in the Taranaki region. The highest median enterococci count was
recorded at Ohawe (40 enterococci cfu/100 ml). Median enterococci counts at all other beaches
were equal to or less than 9 cfu/100 ml. Out of the 217 samples collected for both SEM and for
additional monitoring purposes, 95% were below the Alert level. Of the few samples which
entered the Alert and Action guideline category (5%), the vast majority (9 out of 11) had been
influenced by rainfall and/or freshwater.
The
likely to be contaminated. In these circumstances, sampling is to be undertaken
again within 24 hours to see if the situation is continuing. If the second result is also above
280 then ‘Action’ mode is triggered. That is, it is when there are two consecutive samples
above 280 enterococci per 100 ml that it is considered public health is potentially
compromised. This involves notifying the Taranaki District Health Board. As discussed
below, high flows in streams and rivers following rainfall
periphyton
proliferate. In particular, the duration of low, warm, and slow flows in the presence of strong
sunlight is a controlling factor. An independent national study found that the Taranaki region
is essentially the least susceptible region in New Zealand for excessive periphyton to occur,
because of the frequency of rainfall events even during summer (this is not about total rainfall,
but the return interval between the rainfall events that result in flushing effects in rivers). This

depending on the level of production. The concentration in the effluent also varies
depending on the current level of rainfall runoff. There are also minute quantities of
other chemicals that are used from time-to-time for research purposes.

the green waste.
However all the unacceptable materials were removed from the site before the green
waste was compacted and levelled and therefore would have had no long term
effect.
There was no leachate observed discharging from the sand dune area during the
period under review. The sandy substrate combined with low rainfall at the beach
would be restricting the production of leachate from the green waste..

Inspections
During the 2014-2015 monitoring period four scheduled inspections of the Company’s
site were conducted by an officer of the Council. The following were found during the
inspections.
12 August 2014
The site was inspected in heavy rainfall conditions. It was observed that there was a
resulting high flow rate discharge of stormwater and it was noted that there was also a
high flow in the receiving water. It was reported that the manhole sumps had been
cleaned out recently and it was
