have included better ease of stock
management. “Everything’s obviously 100% fenced now, so
there’s no stock wandering around, being places they shouldn’t
be, and aesthetically … it’s a lot nicer to look at now, and it’s got
to be better for the health of the stream,” he says.
“Certainly with the winter rains when the erosion comes through
– the big floods – the stabilisation of the creek-banks is way
better than it used to be. There’s not the erosion once it’s been
Oil Services Ltd. Water samples were collected for
physicochemical analysis on selected inspections.
During the period under review, Port Taranaki Ltd obtained a ‘good’ rating for environmental and ‘high
rating’ for administrative performance and compliance with the resource consents.
Suspended solids in two samples marginally exceeded the consent limits during first flush. This was due to
heavy rain conditions at times when log loading onsite was in full operation. There were no

debris slopes gently seaward to the north and west and abuts the sedimentary hill country to the
east. Approximately 8 m of rain falls annually on Mt Taranaki and more than 365 fast-flowing
rivers emanate from the mountain in a radial pattern across the ring-plain. Taranaki Region is
dissected by more than 20,000 kilometres (km) of rivers and streams which are a particular
feature of the landscape. This includes the 39 km
using a correlation between these two sites, a calculated flow
can be estimated for the ‘Bushline. Based on this correlation, as shown in Figure 4 the flow did not fall below
the 134L/s limit, so no restrictions were required to be put in place.

reflect that rainfall at the coast is richer in chloride and
sodium, compared to rainfall that falls inland. Nearly two thirds of GQMP sites plot
below the SWDL, suggesting that much of the region’s groundwater is enriched with
sodium from rock/water interactions with sodium rich source rocks.

has been little change in groundwater nitrate levels over the last five years. There is
