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.

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.

estuaries are well flushed, with little diversity in the way of intertidal and subtidal habitats.
Sedimentation has a major influence on the region’s estuaries, the factors behind which
include rain fall and modified land use. The large number of rivers and the erosion of
Mount Taranaki generally bring a lot of sediment to the coast. However, the high energy
coastline means this sediment supply does not settle long enough to greatly assist with
the beach building process.

that a precautionary approach is
already adequately provided for via Policy 3 [Precautionary approach] of the Plan.
Policy 3 is a General Policy that applies to all activities, including oil and gas
industries, within the coastal environment and regardless of which coastal
management area the activity may fall within. Officers further note that the potential
risks associated with oil and gas exploration and production activities are well
understood. In the main oil and gas
coastal
management area the activity may fall within. Officers further note that the potential
risks associated with oil and gas exploration and production activities are well
understood. In the main oil and gas exploration and production activities in the
coastal marine area are largely a Discretionary Activity or a Non-complying Activity.
Therefore, through the consenting process, Policy 3 and other relevant policies will
be considered and applied as appropriate on a case-by-case basis.

TBP holds two water permits that provide for abstraction of water, one from the Inaha Stream and one from
groundwater.
TBP holds water permit 2051-4 to cover the abstraction of up to 50 L/s of water from the Inaha Stream for a
rendering operation. This permit was issued by the Council on
