The Waiongana Stream hydrology displays a natural rapid rise and fall (typical of Taranaki ring plain
streams) which allows for a limited window of opportunity when treated wastewater can be discharged
above the minimum consent limit. The consent holder has access to the Taranaki Regional Council web site

VEGETATION
Remember the importance of post-planting
maintenance, if planting riparian margins.
Release-weeding and pest control ensure
good establishment. Silviculture helps
prevent trees from falling into channels,
avoids suppression of ground cover by
lower branches, and ensures good growth
form for timber production. Where banks
are control-grazed, good stock
management is essential to maintain
pasture composition and density. It also
helps suppress weeds. The Council’s

and coal storage areas. When it rained this material would wash into the stormwater system, resulting in
high suspended solids. In order to minimise deleterious effects on the receiving environment, Port Taranaki
Ltd (Port Taranaki) have implemented a number of preventative measures since 2012, including upgrading
the stormwater treatment system and improving stormwater management procedures.

Campylobacter, but also Cryptosporidium oocysts, Giardia cysts, Norovirus, other human enteric
viruses, and/or Salmonellae (McBride and Soller 2017; MfE 2017). Faecal contamination of water by
livestock or other animals can occur via direct deposition, runoff from pastoral land, and piped
discharges from farms. Human contamination of water can occur due to leaking sewage pipes or
septic tanks, poorly treated sewage, and overflow of storm water systems during heavy rain

summary, it was concluded that there was minimal use of the stream for food-
gathering or recreational purposes, and that the public health risk was minimal under
heavy rain overflow conditions.
Wet weather in August 2015 and September 2015 raised pond levels but not to
overflow levels indicating that work done to reduce stormwater infiltration and inflow
has had a marked effect.
No additional trade wastes connections to the sewerage reticulation were recorded
during this monitoring period.
