are presented in this report. Monitoring included groundwater sampling at five sites and
analysis of samples for a range of chemical and isotopic analysis.
The results of the monitoring carried out by the Council indicates that the hydraulic fracturing
activities undertaken by Todd have had no adverse effects on local groundwater resources.
There were no Unauthorised Incidents recording non-compliance in respect of the resource

grazed pasture) filters
sediment out of surface runoff. Sediment
levels in waterways are thereby reduced.
Swamp vegetation (such as rush or sedge)
on or near streambanks helps remove
nutrients, particularly nitrogen, from
emerging groundwater before it enters
streams.
Where fences deny or restrict stock
access, animal dung and urine are
eliminated from waterways. Water
contamination by organic pollutants, and
also by associated pathogens, is
minimised.
Tall-growing riparian
river field trips planned last term, only two had
to be postponed because of bad weather or high
river levels; unfortunately both involved the
same school.
If you have been to Pukeiti recently you would
have seen the massive changes that are taking
place involving the car parks and many of the
buildings. Despite the action taking place, we
have been, and still are, able to host school visits.
It is extremely heartening to be involved with or
hear about the
action can be taken if there is any threat of an event. Taranaki is less likely to
experience earthquakes and liquefaction than other regions because of the geographical distance from New
Zealand’s major fault lines and the types of soil in the region. However, being on the coast means the region
could be affected by storm surges or earthquake-created
tsunami. The Taranaki coastline has high rates of erosion.

Taranaki, 2016, (draft Plan) were those identified as ‘high quality’ or ‘high
value’ in the Regional Policy Statement for Taranaki, 2010 (Regional Policy
Statement). These surf breaks were identified by local surfers and all known
surf breaks were added to the Regional Policy Statement as no process for
determining regional significance was developed at this time.

Last term was an extremely busy and varied
one for me. It was a privilege to have the
chance to be out and about with so many of
you. I never tire of the sound of great
excitement, glee or surprise when children
discover some new animal or plant or do
something that surprises both themselves and
others. Certainly the many rock pool, Pukeiti
and river excursions were great fun and my
thanks go to the teachers who organized
them.
