to sustain in pasture, planting soil conservation trees on the easier unstable slopes, and grazing dairy heifers or other non- traditional types of stock on the stable footslopes and valley bottoms. Purpose of a comprehensive farm plan Comprehensive farm plans look at all facets of a farm’s operation including land and stock management. If forestry is seen as part of the property’s future viability, this plan also includes an agroforestry plan.
long-term average, and ranged from 96.4% at Kahui Hut to 205.8% at Pohokura Saddle. Rainfall was elevated on the southern side of the Maunga and central and northern hill country. Year to date rainfall is sitting between 95.5% (Kotare at OSullivans) and 198.8% (Kapoaiaia at Lighthouse) with an average of 126.9% of normal. North and eastern hill country rain gauges are showing rain below normal, while most other locations are close to or above normal. Cape Egmont remains at around 198.8% of
inland as Eltham. Irrigators in the area reported that the ability to flush salt from pasture as one of the benefits of irrigation. However, not enough is currently known about the frequency of such events or the impact on pasture production to quantify the potential benefits in the financial analysis. 5.2 Pugging Potential The potential for soil pugging under irrigation is a function of soil type, application depth, application uniformity and stocking rates. Pugging risk is primarily a

potential to increase the reliability and resilience of the electricity supply to people living in the local Opunake community. This has clear social and economic benefits. The scheme will also contribute to the Government’s aspirational goal of achieving 100 per cent renewable electricity by 2035 and well as decarbonisation goals. RELIEF SOUGHT Subject to any adverse effects of the scheme being adequately avoided, remedied or mitigated, that the consents be granted.
on-site will be ‘windrow composting’ and vermicast production. The products produced are expected to be sold off-site. I can confirm the material to be received on-site, as indicated in Table 2 of the AEE - ‘Anticipated Waste Streams’. The UCS provides a viable alternative for organic waste streams that would otherwise go to landfill at Bonny Glenn or Hampton Down landfill sites. Our UCS facility is available to local industries, i.e. poultry processing 24/7 (Taranaki is one of the
during construction activities. The influence that aquifer properties below 2 metres have on groundwater velocities is uncertain, in terms of over and/or under estimating velocities. For the current groundwater velocity calculations, the aquifer properties were estimated as ‘Silty Clay’, with an effective soil porosity of 0.01 or 1% to the base of the aquifer (McWorter and Sunada 1977). Well construction information is also limited but deemed critical to the analysis of slug test data, and
brown mudfish, with North Island populations now mainly found from Warea in Taranaki southwards, usually at elevations lower than 240 metres. They tolerate a wide range of habitats including peaty bogs, raupo swamps, lake margins, forest pools and streams. A lot of the habitats that brown mudfish occupy dry out over summer, forcing the fish to aestivate (summer hibernation). During summer mudfish bury themselves deep in mud or under logs, making sure their refuge is

importance of using an adaptive management approach to achieve the desired outcomes at this site. While it is tempting to apply rigid conditions, in my opinion it is important that the page consent enable the flexibility to trial and adopt new techniques or technology as this becomes available. It is also important that the investment in these technologies is supported by an appropriate term of consent. 17. I maintain my original conclusion that, based on the expert
