There are a number of small estuaries at the mouths of Taranaki’s larger rivers. These
estuaries are well flushed with little diversity in the way of intertidal and subtidal habitats.
Sedimentation has a major influence on the region’s estuaries, the factors behind which
include rain fall and modified land use. There is generally abundant sediment supply to

Water abstraction permits
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. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued
to say that a well-managed composting operation should
produce little or no leachate and the only liquids leaving the composting
pads should be stormwater runoff from the composting piles and the
operating area including tracks and the truck wash.
19. Both Pads 1 & 3 and the operational areas are engineered so that all
stormwater that falls on these areas is captured and diverted into the
irrigation pond.

Even if you considered you did have discretion to consider integrated district and
land use matters, there is no certainty of an outcome or timing. Both the operative
and proposed District Plans provide for this activity on the Application Site.

Analysis comparing data to NPS-FM NOF attributes showed that 52 of the 67 sites (78%) reported five-year
median MCI scores above the national bottom line (≥90), with 15 sites (22%) falling below this threshold,
indicating severe organic pollution or nutrient enrichment. Most sites (29, or 43%) were in band C,
suggesting moderate pollution, while 12 sites (18%) were in band A, indicating pristine conditions. For

to local rainfall patterns. The range of change in water
levels varied considerably by site, from a few millimetres
up to several metres. Over the longer term, some sites also
showed a small continuous fall or rise in groundwater level.
None of these changes was considered significant enough
to affect the sustainability of the aquifer and could be linked
to either localised groundwater use or longer-term
rainfall patterns.
