Kauri-E: The ring drain was in need of redefining as some of the culverts were becoming blocked. An orange
layer of sludge was noted in the ring drain. This appeared to be iron oxide that had discharged onto site
from a neighbouring property. The pipe had since been disconnected. It was noted that a storage bund had

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

• Farm systems predominantly fall into System 2 and 3.
• Supplements are used to a) boost production (PKE is major supplement) and b) allow
resilience against summer dry period (PKE, maize silage, bought-in silage and summer
crops).
• Irrigation does not occur on farms.
• Investment is taking place on some farms to upgrade effluent system to use nutrients.

Filter backwash is discharged via a large pond. The outlet from the pond is an inverted pipe located at the
opposite end of the pond from the inlet. The discharge from the pond emerges from a pipe to fall over a
small waterfall. At the base of the waterfall the discharged water runs down a natural cobbled channel
beneath native riparian vegetation for approximately 10 metres
