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

financial year more than four times that of 2014-2015 (Table 1). Log exports decreased slightly in 2019-
2020; largely due to depressed log prices and the COVID-19 Level-4 business restrictions (Port Taranaki,
2020).
Historically, the move to bulk cargo resulted in an increase in material deposited on the ground in the log
and coal storage areas. When it rained this material would wash into the stormwater system, resulting in
high suspended solids. In order to minimise deleterious …

The site was tidy and processes appeared to be well managed with drip trays and chemical bunding in use
and no spills or stains evident on the ground. The inspection was undertaken after heavy rain and the
stormwater system was coping well, with all stormwater being collected and directed appropriately prior to
discharge. The stream was visually the same upstream and downstream of the site. It

Stream between these two points has very high, steep banks which would not permit easy escape in the
event of rising waters.
The results indicate that the discharge was not affecting the water quality of the Piakau Stream and was in
compliance with all applicable consent conditions for receiving waters at the times of sampling.
