rainfall for the site is
1942 mm (taken from the nearby ‘Stratford’ monitoring station).
No consents were initially held to discharge stormwater from this stockpiling site, as it
was expected to comply with the permitted activity criteria in Rule 23 of the RFWP.
However, a stormwater discharge consent was issued for the Derby Road North site
(7911-1, 27 September 2011). The Derby Road facility also holds a discharge permit
(6900-2) which permits the temporary stockpiling of blended waste prior
ownership and vegetated in indigenous forest. In other
parts, the hill country supports both pastoral farming and commercial forestry.
Annual rainfall varies markedly throughout the region, ranging from less than 1,400 mm in coastal
areas, to in excess of 8,000 mm at the summit of Mount Taranaki.
Taranaki has more than 500 named rivers and streams. Over 300 rivers and streams flow from the
flanks of Mount Taranaki in a distinctive radial pattern across the ring plain. Typically ring
have short tributaries contained by narrow valleys. In
general, these rivers carry high sediment loads.
Climate
Taranaki’s climate is determined by its westerly position, its mid-latitude location,
and its topography. Taranaki lies in the path of weather systems moving east from
the Tasman Sea. The region’s climate is generally sunny and windy, with moderate
temperatures and regular rainfall throughout the year.
