It was raining at the time of the inspection. Four samples were obtained; one downstream (clear), one upstream (clear), one from the storm water discharge pipe (turbid) and one form the head waters adjacent to the storm water discharge pipe, at this location there was a visible sheen. The
approximately five kilometres. 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 through the residential area of Bell Block.
rain throughout the catchment. At the time of sampling the stream was in fresh (recession) and running at a moderately high flow rate at 7.3 m3/s. The page 13 stream was turbid and brown in colour. The piggery wastewater flow rate from the final pond was estimated to be at 14 L/s. The wastewater discharge from the final pond had no visual downstream environmental impact on the Waiongana Stream at the time of the survey. The consent holder continued to discharge for a
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
abstraction permit (groundwater) 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.

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
was also some replacement of square kerbing with radial. Mangaotaki Rockfall (2008) Heavy rain triggered a large rock fall on 4th August 2008 at the Mangaotaki Bluffs. The large rocks blocked SH3 for almost 48hrs and a route detour through local council roads was required during this time. Two stock truck effluent disposal facilities have been built along the route, one in each of the regions – the Taranaki one at Ahititi on the northern

propagation and consequent dissemination of the endangered rhododendrons whose future the Pukeiti Rhododendron Trust is trying to secure. Members got an opportunity to see the Rouse House propagator and improvements to the shade house which have been paid for by The Trust. These improvements are designed to increase the success rate of the propagation efforts. The Soup and Large Leaf Rhododendron Day was once again threatened by rain but it was decided to go ahead with it anyway. As it
