organic material
such as poultry waste. This is then composted in one very large pile which is turned to stimulate the
composting process in the initial phase.
Any rainfall runoff and leachate that is generated, drains into a series of ponds for treatment referred to as
the pond treatment system (PTS). Between each pond is a baffle that skims off any floating hydrocarbons as
the leachate passes through. These ponds also treat the leachate and stormwater from pad 1 where

we’re able to make predictions about the water quality
at any given location based on a range of environmental
characteristics that are common to those catchments where
monitoring data is available. These characteristics include
the geology, land cover, elevation, rainfall and the number
of farmed animals.
To refine these models and improve our understanding
of the actions we can take, we need to assess whether
contaminants are the result of human activities or
system and gentle rolling
topography make its lower extents exceptionally well suited to intensive agriculture. Here the average herd
size is larger meaning that farming is more intensive than in the other FMUs. The frequent, and often
intense rainfall events that occur on Taranaki Maunga erode the river banks and carry runoff from the
surrounding land. This results in rivers and streams that are muddy and brown for a few days following each
event.

at time of inspection and the bunds were all effective. It was discussed with the site
manager that some realignment or installation of skimmer pits at northern end of the
ring drain may be necessary to improve site drainage.

The site inspection was carried out after a period of prolonged rainfall although at
the time of inspection it was fine. The site was neat, tidy and well managed. The

The inspection was undertaken during a rainfall event and found that the IBC's were well bunded and the
drain shut off valve was switched to the off position. There were no visible spills or sheens were found on
the site. The sand trap was full of sediment laden water (Photo 2). No dust or odour was observed to be
generated on site. Samples were taken of the site discharges and receiving waters above and below the site.

Addressing
climate change
As the impacts of climate change
intensify, we are considering how we
can best support climate action
in Taranaki.
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
