period, as none was scheduled within the baseline monitoring programme. Because of
the reduction of treated piggery effluent discharge periods including the reduction of
pig numbers, a biomonitoring survey was not considered necessary on this occasion.

only a very narrow strip of beach (at low tide only), any waters emerging from the cliff would be swiftly
mixed and dispersed. Any effects on groundwater quality or coastal water quality would be negligible. In
general, the creation of stable interlocked layers of green waste ensures that it does not fall off, or get
blown off the cliffs and down onto the coastal marine area or into the sea.

irrigation in Taranaki does take place within Zones 2, 3, 4 and 5, which represents a
10 km wide belt of coastal land stretching from Oakura to Waitotara.
1.1.7 Irrigation systems
In general there are two types of irrigation methods; surface and pressurised. The majority of irrigation
systems currently in operation in the region fall in to the pressurised category. Pressurised systems can be
further differentiated based on the method of operation and equipment used. A summary of the systems

EXPLANATION
This scale of charges is used to calculate the Council's actual and reasonable costs when carrying out functions
under the Resource Management Act 1991. Where those actual and
Council has reserved control through the plan itself, the Council is unable to take into account matters
that fall outside this scope.
You will be aware that, with few exceptions, when a dairy consent involving a discharge to water is replaced,
the Council only allows the water discharge to continue until 1 December 2022, then the only discharge
allowed is to land.

was collected from pooled rain water which demonstrated no elevated contaminants were present in the
sample. The Council’s position was that the works did not result in any on-going discharge of contaminants
to the environment as a process of the skimmer pit development.

The results of sampling show little difference between the upstream and downstream sites with regard to
the parameters tested on the dates sampled, with the exception of total BOD. Variation between sampling
dates related largely to recent rain events in the catchment. As has been observed in some previous
surveys, several surveys in the 2018-2019
