number of land disposal systems and dual systems has been steadily increasing in recent years. The requirement for discharge to land would generally be phased in as current resource consents are renewed. Discretionary consents for discharge to water will still be available for the small percentage of farmers unable to discharge to land because of high rainfall and particular soil types. High levels of treatment would be required. Better farm management would also
above the respective historical medians for the freshwater sites, but below the MfE ‘Action’ level for freshwater. Enterococci counts at both coastal sampling sites were below the MfE ‘Surveillance’ levels for marine waters and similar to historical medians. During the 2021-2022 monitoring period the Urenui Beach Camp exceeded the consent limit of 85 m3/day on 78 days following periods of high rainfall and/or dates of higher occupancy. NPDC remains under Abatement Notice EAC-23206 for exceeding

change As the impacts of climate change intensify, we are considering how we can best support climate action in Taranaki. What are the issues? Climate change will have wide-ranging impacts on Taranaki. Temperature is expected to increase by between 0.5°C and 1.5°C by 2040, while rainfall will become more variable, increasing both the risk of drought on one hand, and the risk of floods on the other. Sea-level rise will increasingly threaten coastal

Results 2.1 Water 2.1.1 Inspections Six inspections were carried out at the Rimu Production Station and associated wellsites in the 2014-2015 year. The following was found during the inspections: 15 July 2014 The site was found to be neat and tidy. Recent heavy rainfall had not resulted in any problems, with
