Although my comments here indicate that the I & I problem may not be as significant a
problem as previously thought, the Council has taken a precautionary approach and is
seeking to reduce I & I on an ongoing basis. It remains a fact that the response to
rainfall observed in Waitara is greater than the response at New Plymouth and any
work done to reduce Inflow and Infiltration will have a positive benefit in reducing the
underlying
coastal dune sands. Pit construction revealed mostly tightly packed sand at the pit
bases (approximately 4-5 m below surface). Average annual rainfall for the site is 1023
mm (taken from the nearby ‘Duffy’ monitoring station). As with the other South
Taranaki coastal sites, this Site is subject to strong winds.

case by case basis and there are a number of environmental factors that are looked at
including land area, land size, and rainfall in the area.

The inspection was undertaken during very heavy rainfall and the Ngapirau stream
was in flood and discolored at the Sandy Bay confluence. There were no odours or
hydrocarbon sheen present at the beach end, and no effects of any previous discharge
