This report deals only with historic heritage located in or on the boundary of the Coastal Marine Area. The
Coastal Marine Area is defined as the area seaward of Mean High Water Springs (MHWS) to the 12 nautical mile
limit, and in river mouths as defined by the Taranaki Coastal Plan, Appendix 2: Coastal marine boundaries at
river mouths. Identification and protection of archaeological sites located on the landward side of these
boundaries falls within the
Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) adopted a water
management plan for the river in September 1991.
At the end of the 2014 monitoring period a total of 18 consents were held by the 13
industries monitored under this programme that discharge wastewater, stormwater and/or
leachate from the industrial area at Fitzroy, New Plymouth to the lower Waiwhakaiho River
and Mangaone Stream, or to land in the lower Waiwhakaiho and Mangaone Stream
catchments. The activities and impacts of the consent

technical data.
Section 3 discusses the results, their interpretations, and their significance for the environment.
Section 4 presents recommendations to be implemented in the 2018-2019 monitoring year.
A glossary of common abbreviations and scientific terms, and a bibliography, are presented at the end of

The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
this non-compliance. A
decision will be made regarding further enforcement action following the Company’s response.
The results of intertidal surveys, kaimoana survey and sand inspections did not indicate that the disposal of
dredged material was having a significant impact on the abundance or diversity of intertidal species,
including key kaimoana species. However, there has been an apparent decrease in the abundance of paua
and kina on these reefs in recent years, as well as a uniform

Risk’ (F7.2a) LENZ environments.
Ecological context Medium Provides additional habitat and greater connectivity with other Key Native
Ecosystems in this area such as Tariki Bush KNE.
Sustainability Positive Key ecological processes still influence the site and with appropriate
management, it can remain resilient to existing or potential threats. The
site has the additional benefit of being formally protected.

“Experience a beautifully restored garden and Chapman-Taylor home. Sculptured from the Taranaki
hillside, this is the premier landscaped garden. Sense the prestige, lifestyle and stories of the Matthews

friends and family, or high tea in the homestead. Or perhaps take in a tour of the house and experience
carried out by the Council indicates that the hydraulic fracturing
activities undertaken by GPL have had no adverse effects on local groundwater resources or
surface water quality. There were no Unauthorised Incidents recording non-compliance in
respect of the resource consent, or provisions in regional plans, during the period under
review.
GPL demonstrated a high level of environmental and good level of administrative
performance and compliance with the resource consent over the reporting
2002 or any other enactment;
