These records indicate that the treated effluent discharge into the Waiongana Stream was well managed on
all occasions with all discharging occurring when stream flow was above 5m3/s.
The Waiongana Stream hydrology displays a natural rapid rise and fall (typical of Taranaki ring plain
streams), which allows for a limited window of opportunity when treated wastewater can be discharged
above the minimum consent limit. The consent holder has access to the Council web site, which

south toward swales in the grassed area and then to a settling pond on the southern boundary. Stormwater
from a storage area to the south of the main building is transported across the paddocks to a manhole.
During heavy rain overflow from the settling pond also discharges into a single manhole and enters the
piped tributary.

wastewater treatment system, including the installation of an additional soakage
trench. The wastewater treatment system at the Retreat did not adversely affect the water quality of the
local freshwater and coastal environments. Although high bacteriological results were returned from the
routine sampling round in January 2019, these counts were attributed to surface runoff draining the
upstream agricultural catchment, following the rains that preceded the sampling. Two follow-up samples

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
site.
1.3 Resource consents
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.
The primary effects of taking and diverting groundwater is the potential for the water
table to be lowered, consequently impacting on nearby surface water such as the
westerly wind. The monthly rainfall was 210 mm of
rain as recorded at the Inglewood WWTP TRC weather station.
The step screen was operating and wastes were fully contained. Slight odour was noticeable in the vicinity of
the step screen. One aerator was operating on the aeration pond, which was a turbid, light grey brown
colour. The pond was discharging into the main pond.
The main pond had a normal level of 0.76 m, with a relatively clear, green grey colour and rippled surface.
