observed magnitude of these seasonal changes varies considerably by site, ranging from a few millimetres up to several metres. The magnitude of observed changes is influenced by rainfall patterns, bore depth, aquifer type (confined or unconfined) and hydraulic properties, the overlying land cover, and proximity to a stable surface water boundary or groundwater discharge area (e.g. river or sea). Data collected over the last two years of monitoring at each site (2015-2017) has been

Mechanical aeration of the primary pond (with some aerators replaced and additional aerators installed) was successful in maintaining aerobic conditions throughout the majority of the period although additional industrial loadings at times placed the system under pressure in terms of maintaining positive dissolved oxygen levels. Although slight localised pond odours were noted on occasions, there were no noticeable odours offsite or complaints received during the monitoring year in

A 2008 survey of Taranaki residents helped to identify the region’s amenity values by asking what residents liked and disliked about where they live. In 2008, residents of Taranaki identified the factors and values that they liked or disliked about where they live. The survey revealed that 32% of New Plymouth residents most liked the close proximity to sea and beaches. In comparison, 27% of Stratford residents and 28% of South Taranaki residents liked the quiet, peaceful and

A glossary of common abbreviations and scientific terms, and a bibliography, are presented at the end of the report. 1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative.

However, prior to the current Rāhui, kai was still taken from the awa. 33 We have developed an Iwi Management Plan that Anne-Maree McKay discusses in her evidence. This includes as policy: “To prioritise the restoration of rivers in the Ngāti Mutunga rohe”. 34 Our Mauri Compass Report also encompasses the goal that the mauri of
