being undertaken to reduce the footprint of the pad. This would greatly reduce the volume of stormwater
collected within the pad. Consequently there would be less pumping to the wetland treatment system and
therefore, generally an increase of retention time within the treatment system. RNZ were instructed to
ensure that uncontaminated storm water runoff was unable to enter the paunch pad, so that only the rain
that falls into the pond is required to be pumped through the wetland treatment
stormwater falling on the non-process areas of the western half of the site (Figure 1) is
directed by “v” ditches running alongside the roads to a dam/pond and then out to the Tasman Sea via the
Manu Stream. Stormwater falling on the eastern side of the site is directed to unnamed tributaries of the
Waihi Stream via outfalls and a small sedimentation pond.
Sludge from the storm pond, off-spec pond and blow down pond stored in lagoons 2, 3, and 4 was
removed during 2006. The sludge in lagoon 1 is …

The Company holds four resource consents, to allow it to
sound? Are they practical, efficient and reasonable? And most importantly, what impacts will they have on families and communities? The information supplied so far by the Government and its advisers would appear to fall short of adequately answering these questions. We hope that Wellington will give the Taranaki experience the careful consideration we believe it deserves. A major concern is that as they stand, the Government’s proposals would frustrate and set back the good work happening here. The

2.2.1 Inspections
21 September 2022
It was raining with a light breeze at the time of the inspection. The cap was in good condition and was
showing no signs of slumping. There was some ponding present, but the inspection was during a rain event,
thus this would be expected. There was evidence of good stock rotation and
significant costs but with little purpose or community benefit.
Proposed broad-brush national requirements for excluding stock from waterways fall short of what is actually required to reduce faecal contamination, and risk undermining successful and proven local initiatives such as Taranaki’s award-winning riparian planting and fencing programme.
It should be up to councils working with their local communities to decide which rivers and lakes are most important for swimming, whether and how urgently
