councils, we call on the Government to support further work in this area to ensure volcanic hazards are appropriately managed.
• Note further work is also needed around how the resource management regime can support the resilience of primary production to
the impacts of natural hazards.

holder was notified and asked to investigate the cause of the exceedance. The investigation found that the
yard settling pond contained a large amount of sediment, which resulted in an increase in turbidity after
heavy rain events. The settling pond underwent a deep clean and subsequent testing

Naturally, it’s more intricate than that.
Down near the mouth, if the tide is coming in and the light’s just right on a fine
autumn morning and there hasn’t been any rain for a day or two, the water is the
