conditions were compliant at the time of inspection.

A site inspection was carried out in overcast weather with light wind conditions. Heavy rain had been noted
in days prior to the visit, and this had resulted in some ponding within the bunded areas, however there
were no visible hydrocarbons present. All major works to re-line the bunds had been completed, with only
main method of effluent application, depths applied (~3 mm)
2. ‘Weta’ travelling rain gun – used to apply effluent to the Sand Dune block at 8-10 mm depths during
7 months of the year.
2.3.2.4 Type of crops grown
Two crops were grown under the cut and carry system in 2022-2023. Maize Silage paddocks (37.2 ha) which
were cultivated in October and harvested in March, yielding around 21.3 tonnes DM/ha.
An annual Ryegrass was planted as a crop cover over the cooler and wetter months.
14 of the Resource Management Act 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.

As Taranaki Ventures Limited was unable to estimate the rate or volume of the take,
and as such, might exceed the limits of the
inspection it was noted that the pedestrian entrances to the shed now had a protected
doorway porch to prevent wind and rain from entering the shed.
During each inspection a sample of the stream was obtained. The samples were clean and clear with no
sheen or odour, iron oxide is naturally present in the stream. There was no discharge from the stormwater
system to sample during any of the inspections.
At the time of each inspection the Company were operating in compliance with their resource

hazardous poplar trees were removed on outside of same curve.
Example - Awakino Gorge Guardrail (2006)
The guardrail was installed at the location of a number of crashes, and protects the corner for a distance
of approximately 400m. There was also some replacement of square kerbing with radial.
Mangaotaki Rockfall (2008)
Heavy rain triggered a large rock fall on
elevated soil
moistures in the range of 44 and 45 %. Conversely, prior to January 8th 2015, Uruti received only 1
mm of rain in the previous eight days, with soil moistures at 32 %, this would have resulted in
minimal outflow ‘gaining’ from the Haehanga Stream to the groundwater table.

To allow the diversion of water from the Manganui River, a concrete weir was constructed across
the Manganui River downstream from Tariki Road. The weir is approximately 4 m high and was
constructed in 1927 (C. England pers. comm). The current consented take from the Manganui River
at the weir is 5.2 m3/s, with residual flows at the weir of 0.4 m3/s. However, when flow in the
Waitara River (at Bertrand Road gauge) falls below 5 m3/s, all of

The industrial area at Bell Block is situated mid-catchment (Figure 1). Historically, the industrial areas were
located predominantly on the western side of the stream however ongoing development since 2016 has
resulted in more sites on the eastern side. These sites fall under permitted activity rules and are not covered
by this monitoring report. Upstream, land use is pastoral and horticultural. Downstream, the Mangati flows

Act). Rules 35 and 36 of the RFWP do not
include any matters of control that expressly allow for the consideration of matters such as those expressed in
the NPS-FM objective. Given that the Council can only consider policies that relate to the matters over which
the Council has reserved control through the plan itself, the Council is unable to take into account matters
that fall outside this scope.
