Turangi Production Station: A site inspection took place a week or so after very heavy, torrential rain, with
showers prior to the inspection. All stormwater was observed to be diverted to the skimmer pits, and there
was no evidence of any silt/sediment build up in the pits as a result of the rainfall experienced. The water
within the skimmer pits was clean and ring drains and all
Taranaki District Council, which operates the Eltham municipal wastewater
treatment system located to the east of Eltham in the Mangawhero catchment, holds a
resource consent to allow it to discharge treated wastewater to the Mangawhero Stream
under high rainfall conditions only. The consent for the discharge of emissions into the air
expired in mid 2011 when it was no longer considered necessary as the nature of the
biological processes at the plant met a ‘permitted’ category in the Regional Air

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

THE PEOPLE
Figures from the 2013 census show the total
severe coastal
erosion were being removed as they became exposed. There has been no leachate observed discharging
from the sand dune area or the stockpiled green waste during the period under review, or in previous years.
These 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
The limit of 460 gm/m3 soil, is (assuming a soil bulk density of
about 1) equivalent to a MAF soil Na reading of about 20. Thus, while some
elevated soil Na levels were recorded during the disposal process the current
levels (0-75 mm) are normal (Table 2). This is also apparent in the SAR levels.
The likely reason for this is that Na (and the same applies to chloride) are very
mobile and will readily leach out of soils, especially sandy soils with a good
rainfall and under irrigation, noting
