Inspection was carried out during wet weather following a period of rain throughout the
catchment. The influent screen was operating and wastes were fully contained. The main pond was dark
green/brown with a turbid appearance. A mild odour was noted downwind. Wildlife was numerous, with
over 450 mallard, paradise and teal ducks, Canadian geese and black swans.
Both wetland pond levels were normal. These were dark green/brown in colour and slightly turbid. No
ponding was noted in the vicinity of
The cleanfill was inspected during fine weather. It had rained in the days preceding. There were no dust or
odour issues and the inspecting officer noted that the site appeared to be tidy. The majority of the
consented cleanfill area appeared to have been reinstated into paddock or was used for storage. Some
material had been recently deposited at the cleanfill, but a visual inspection confirmed that there was no
prohibited material. The material had originated from the site itself. A
enough, the climate needs more. The availability of e bikes
can bring this down further. We are a hardy bunch in Taranaki, a bit of rain and some hills shouldn't
stop us.
Level of agreement with proposed active travel goal
Survey question: Is a proposal to double the number of journeys by walking, cycling or other active travel to
school and work by 2033 ambitious or not ambitious enough?

1.3.1 Water abstraction permit
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any water, unless the activity is
expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14.

3.2.1 Inspections
08 December 2020
An inspection was undertaken to assess compliance with the wastewater discharge consent. A prolonged
period of rain occurred prior to the inspection. The yard was relatively clean and tidy. No evidence of spills.
The discharge of stormwater onsite into the roadside drain looked much improved from the last inspection.
A sample of the settling pond discharge into the wetland was unable to be collected due to a new
regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49
of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as the rate and daily volume of
the groundwater abstraction might exceed that of the permitted activity (Rule 48).
Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject to two
conditions:
• The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10% lowering
was potentially leaking, staff advised that this would be investigated in summer.
Ngatoro G: the ring drain had been redefined and metal placed alongside it to help filter sediment.
Kaimiro Production Station and Ngatoro-A: Heavy, persistent rain and strong winds had proceeded the
inspection and it was noted that the stormwater system on both sites was working well. All stormwater was
being collected and directed for treatment prior to discharge from the site. The sites were tidy and
(Pohokura AEE Vol 3).
f. Cliff erosion
Sedimentary rocks in cliffs in the ‘papa’ areas of north and south Taranaki are relatively
young geologically speaking, so are soft, unconsolidated and easily eroded. Cliffs with
waves lapping at the base at high tide are vulnerable to episodic erosion events with the
steep faces falling away catastrophically. Compounding this process is groundwater seepage
through the cliffs which intensifies after heavy rain. When the top layers are saturated, they
