Matters Arising
The impacts of recent extreme rainfall in the Gisborne region and the discharge of
forestry slash to rivers was raised and a discussion held over the likelihood of this
being
factors, combined with the sandy
substrate and low rainfall at the beach would be restricting the production of leachate from the green
waste. It is therefore considered that, so long as STDC continues to monitor for and remove exposed
unacceptable material from the coastline, the environmental effects from the activities at the site are likely
to be no more than minor.
3.3 Evaluation of performance
A tabular summary of the consent holder’s compliance record for the year under review is set
noted.
During the inspection undertaken on 26 June 2024, it was noted that significant volumes of red sand-
blasting garnet was present under zones 11 and 12, as well as around both roadside stormwater drains
underneath the pipe rack. The inspection was carried out following rainfall and it appeared that the large
volume of stormwater had washed the garnet and associated contaminants towards, and probably into, the
stormwater collection system. Staff onsite advised that recent works carried

• Geomorphology and geological make up of the coast.
The rate of erosion of sea cliffs in particular, depends on the following factors (Lumsden,
1995):
• Available wave energy producing both impact and abrasion (this can be altered by
refraction and diffraction of waves from reefs and off-shore bathymetry);
• The presence of absence of a protective beach at the base of the cliffs and type of

Make a reliable staff member responsible for managing

Roofing – a simple solution
Roofing your bunds avoids human error and dispenses
with the need for stormwater valves altogether.
Further benefits include:
• Stopping rainfall coming into contact with
contaminants and washing them into the stormwater
system
• Preventing accidents from valves being left open
confines of Port Taranaki.
The Taranaki region has a temperate climate with
generally abundant rainfall. The incised nature of
ring plain streams means that flooding is not a
major problem. However, occasional intense rainfall
events can lead to rapid rises in river levels and
flooding in hill country valleys and elsewhere.

This has been reviewed by the applicant in
