Eucalyptus muelleriana yellow stringybark
Yellow stringybark requires well drained soils. It will
grow on clay over sandstone, on warm sand dunes and
old rain forest soils. It needs sheltered moist valleys,
with surrounding vegetation to help draw the stems up
and reduce its tendency to form multiple leaders. It
grows best on slopes with north and west aspects.
Initial close stocking rates are beneficial if planted as a
pure stand,

the importance of habitat, human impacts and
how to get involved in conservation activities.
Wetland quiz
Wetlands act like giant sponges, storing excess
water during heavy rains and releasing it slowly,
thereby preventing flooding. As a result, areas
downstream of wetlands still receive water when
rainfall levels are low. Wetlands help stabilize
shorelines and river banks.

Inspections
7 September 2016
An inspection was conducted in overcast weather with rain showers and north westerly wind conditions.
The influent screen was tidy and wastes were fully contained. The primary pond influent flow was reasonably
clear with an estimated flow rate of 3 L/s. the pond was a turbid, light green brown colour with a rippled
surface.

The secondary pond was slightly turbid and a light green brown colour with a rippled surface. An algal
sample was
threshold without affecting the assigned attribute state.
The Council’s existing monitoring programme only collects chlorophyll a once a year,
during summer (worst case flow conditions). Therefore, a comparison against the new
attribute’s standards cannot be made. An analysis to compare with the new NoF guideline is
presented below, for indicative purposes only. It should be noted that since the Council is
sampling under worst-case conditions, then clearly if such a result falls into an A, B, or

and subtidal habitats.
Sedimentation has a major influence on the region’s estuaries, the factors behind which
include rain fall and modified land use. The large number of rivers and the erosion of
Mount Taranaki generally bring a lot of sediment to the coast. However, the high energy
coastline means this sediment supply does not settle long enough to greatly assist with
the beach building process.
Active dunelands exist at some of the larger river mouths and dominate the
