ensure compliance.
The Council also acknowledges that because of high
rainfall and particular soil types, a small percentage
of farmers will be unable to discharge effluent to
land. They would be able to obtain a discretionary
resource consent allowing them to continue
discharging pond-treated wastewater to water.

Pests and diseases
Fungal diseases - Fungal diseases are
currently regarded as a more serious hazard
than insect attacks or other animal pests.
Except in dry conditions (less than 800mm
rainfall), radiata pine is susceptible to two
main fungal diseases: Dothistroma and
Cyclaneusma.
Dothistroma causes severe defoliation (with
consequent growth loss) on stands up to 12-15
years, particularly in high rainfall areas, or
where air movement is restricted and high
humidity is

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 coastline, the environmental effects from the activities at the site are likely
to be no more than minor.
3.3 Evaluation of performance
A tabular summary of the consent holder’s compliance record for the year under review is set out in Table 2.

on reworked dune fields. The Waikaikai Stream flows
approximately through the centre of the site. The proximity of the site to this
recognised ecosystem has been taken into account in the setting of buffer distances
and location of the stockpiling facilities.
The predominant soil type has been identified as black loamy sand and vegetation
growth is primarily pasture. Average annual rainfall for the site is 1043 mm (taken
from the nearby ‘Patea’ monitoring station). As with the other
