rainfall into the tank means you can considerably reduce the amount of storage needed, an option to consider
in high rain fall areas.

crossed it by the swingbridge and left it
behind as we started climbing up the
Summit Track. When we reached the
Summit Road the group was unanimous in
wanting to detour to the Pukeiti Hill
Lookout before continuing on to the Paint
Mines. Rain during the week had cleared
the air and we had lovely views up the coast

storage areas. When it rains this material washes into the stormwater system, and discharges into the
harbour via the numerous piped outlets (Figure 2). In order to minimise deleterious effects on the receiving
environment, Port Taranaki Ltd (Port Taranaki) have implemented a number of preventative measures since
2012, including upgrading the stormwater treatment system and improving stormwater management
procedures. This work is ongoing, as log
