these categories are in the default
class.
Further, as the maximum amount of periphyton biomass is affected by the amount of nutrients in the water
column, the NPS-FM also requires councils to set appropriate in-stream concentrations and exceedance
criteria for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) to regulate
periphyton biomass growth (Ministry for the Environment, 2020).

Technical Memorandum | Draft Baseline State for Nutrients in Taranaki Rivers
Baseline states for nutrients
The NPS-FM requires all regional councils to identify baseline states for all attributes described in Appendix
2A and 2B of the NPS-FM within each Freshwater Management Unit (FMU). When compared
taxa present
at a site. Note that while the NPS-FM requires QMCI as a numeric attribute state for macroinvertebrates,
Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) uses the semi-quantitative MCI value (SQMCI), which provides a similar
output and will be considered surrogate to QMCI in relation to the NPS-FM. Unlike the MCI, the SQMCI is
not multiplied by a scaling factor of 20, thus provides a smaller numerical output. This attribute uses the same
methods applied as those applied to the MCI
growth, as well as from losing oxygen in bottom waters of deep lakes.

For lakes and lagoons that are intermittently open to the sea, monitoring data should be analysed separately for closed
periods and open periods.
Lake monitoring in the Taranaki region
Prior to 2022, lake monitoring undertaken by the Taranaki Regional Council largely focused on a single lake,
Lake Rotorangi. Lake Rotorangi is an artificial lake used for hydroelectric generation and monitoring has

provide maps containing information that relates to
your risk identification and action selection process.
The regulations allow you to present maps in a way
that makes sense to you, providing the requirements
are met. This means you can choose any mapping
tools, the form, size, the number of maps, and the
combination of features you display on each map.
However, you should check with your
regional/unitary council if they have any guidance or
specific mapping requirements.
Regional Council (TRC) receives data from nine permanent dissolved oxygen monitoring sites
within the region. All of these monitoring sites are maintained by the TRC, with data being continuously
recorded at an interval of 15 minutes, as per the National Environmental Monitoring Standard (NEMS) for
Dissolved Oxygen (NEMS, 2016). In determining the appropriate dataset to inform baseline state, available
site data was assessed for the best state against the options set out in the NPS-FM
