NES-F conditions Passage of fish: The weir must provide for the same passage of fish upstream and downstream as would exist without the culvert, except as required to carry out the works Size: The fall height of the weir must be no more than 0.5m Slope: The slope of the weir must be no steeper than 1:30 Face: The face of the weir must have roughness elements that are mixed grade rocks of 150 to 200mm
River, Te Henui Stream, Waimoku Stream, and less frequently at Lakes Opunake and Rotomanu, were due principally to resident wild fowl populations in the vicinity of recreational usage sites (as confirmed by inspections and more recently by DNA marker surveys). In terms of E. coli, bacteriological water quality showed some improvements in the latest survey period in comparison with historical surveys. The total number of samples falling within the “Alert” or “Action” categories (26% of

needed to maintain a catchment’s natural character and ecosystem health however, as this measurement is an ‘average’, flows do naturally fall below MALF during prolonged periods of dry weather or drought. Estimations of MALF are made using long term flow records but, if no records are available, it can also be estimated using records from hydrologically similar streams. When developing estimates of MALF, flow records are first ‘naturalised’. Primarily this involves removing the

certainty during the consenting process and will minimise disputes and reduce costs for the applicant and the Council. More effective as Plan users will have greater certainty around whether their activity falls inside/outside the coastal environment and the appropriate Policies to consider. More effective as each consent application will be addressed consistently and reduces variation between consents. There are no additional costs associated with this change. page 6
public use can degrade the values associated with the site – little can or should be done to promote coastal public access. Six (or 21%) of the coastal areas of local or regional significance having poor public access fall within these two categories. • For the two remaining limiting factors, these being lack of formal access or poorly defined public access, more could be done to improve public access. Twenty-three (or 79%) of the coastal areas of local or regional significance having poor

There had been heavy rain over night prior to the inspection and it was noted that there were no ponding, odour or dust issues found at the time of inspection. The consent holder was informed that water samples were collected at this inspection. Results of receiving environment monitoring 2.2.2 Routine water quality sampling was undertaken on one occasion and the results are presented
