Sufficient volumes of water within streams and rivers to protect aquatic habitat is a
primary concern of the Regional Council with respect to water abstraction permits.
Water abstraction for quarries is primarily only required for the washing of aggregate,
and in this regard the Council encourages the recycling of both washwater and
stormwater to minimise the requirement to abstract surface water.

Taranaki Racing Club holds water permit 7470-1, authorising the taking of
groundwater from a bore for the race track irrigation and general purposes. This permit
was issued by the Council on 20 August 2009 under

There is no water level and/or flow monitoring at the ‘Bushline’, however the Council monitors water level
and flow of the Ngatoro Stream at SH3. By using a correlation between these two sites, a calculated flow
can be estimated for the ‘Bushline. Based on this correlation, as shown in Figure 4 the flow did not fall below
the 134 L/s limit, so no restrictions were required to be put in place.

The Developed Taranaki chapter includes the following section on the Forgotten World Highway:
“Established in 1990 the Stratford to Taumarunui Heritage Trail promotes the rich history along the route
linking Taranaki and the Central North Island. Branded the ‘Forgotten World Highway’ it threads through
155km of pristine scenic sub-tropical rain forests.

water quality sampling sites
2.1.3 Results of receiving environment monitoring
2.1.3.1 Chemical
Receiving water quality sampling was undertaken in conjunction with discharge
sampling at points upstream (PIK000159) and downstream (PIK000166) of the
discharge. The results are presented in Table 2 and the sampling sites are shown in
Figure 1. These sites were chosen because they provide safe access to the stream
during periods of rain and are outside of the discharge mixing zone.
ground in the log and coal
storage areas (Figure 1). When it rains this material is washed into the stormwater
system, resulting in high suspended solids. In order to minimise deleterious effects
on the receiving environment, Port Taranaki Limited implemented a number of
preventative measures over the 2011-2014 period, including investing approximately
$700,000 in an improved stormwater system.
