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
established environmental limits.
Environmental effects of exercise of consents
Potential environmental effects on the receiving environment at this site include contamination by
hydrocarbon spills and increased sediment during high rainfall events. These effects are considered to be a
low likelihood. At the time of the sampling on 21st August 2023 it was found that the exercise of the consent
was having no more than a minor effect on the tributary.
Evaluation of performance
A tabular
observed at the top of the weir. There were elevated
flows at the time of the inspection due to heavy rainfall previously.
The lamprey baffle was viewed during the inspection on 4 October 2023 as the flow in the river was lower than
the previous inspection. It was noted that no rocks had been installed above the lamprey baffle to further
reduce flow, but this was no longer needed as the required timeframe for lamprey passage (1st June to 30th
September) had passed. Tree debris was observed
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

• 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

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
the
risk of this happening again.
The maximum rainfall (43 mm/hr) used in
the application by Remediation (NZ) may be
a bit light.
This has been reviewed by the applicant in
their application.
The site needed to be tidied up generally.
The untidiness does not given them
confidence that it is being managed
appropriately.
Management plans and improved detail in
job descriptions for site and management
staff are intended to address this, along with
better recording of
