Positive The site is in good vegetative condition.
Other Management Issues
Weeds - Medium There are many weeds impinging on the values of this site
including climbing asparagus, wandering willy, wild ginger,
Japanese honeysuckle, African clubmoss, brush wattle and wild
cherry.
Predators - Medium Predators such as rats, mustelids, possums, hedgehogs and feral
cats will be having an impact on the site.
Possum Self-help The site falls outside the rural Possum Self
9). This issue was raised with STDC at the time of the inspection and they arranged for a
contractor to remove the builders to eliminate the risk of them falling onto the beach. During the 2023
inspection, the erosion at the northern end had worsened from previous monitoring period, posing an
imminent risk to the dwelling located there.
STDC also carried out inspections of this structure during the year under review. Their report was
provided to Council on 30 June 2023. Recommendations

4 As children my siblings and I had very strict instructions not to make
noise or let our shadow fall on the water, where the net was. What was
caught was shared among whanau as this was a welcome customary
practice. It doesn't seem that long ago. Back then the mud wasn't
smelly and we could freely mould and shape objects,
survey or will delay the start of operations, regardless of signal strength or
whether distance or bearing from the acoustic source has been determined. Shutdown
of an activated acoustic source will not be required if visual observations by a qualified
MMO confirm that the acoustic detection was of a species falling into the category of
‘Other Marine Mammals’.

The preference for operational deployment of observers is on the acoustic source vessel.

of waste to landfill peaked at 65,257 tonnes in 2013-2014
What we know
and reduced significantly from 2015 when all three
district councils aligned their recycling collection services
and created a regional materials recovery facility in New
Plymouth to process recyclables. In 2014, the waste to
landfill in the region per person was 595kg falling to 311kg
per person in 2020-2021.
In Stratford and South Taranaki, there has been additional
contaminants. Only a pilot flare was operating. The
API separator and all bunds and ring drains were clear. Everything was satisfactory.
1 November 2012
The site was inspected during fine weather with no significant rain having occurred for
a week or more. The skimmer pits were clear and not discharging. The ring drains were
free of contaminants and a frog was in residence at the top end of the drain. Some
flaring was being undertaken, but this was very minor and no downwind effects were
noted. The
monitoring bore GND2103 varied in
response to abstraction from GND2010. When abstraction volumes increase over the summer months the
groundwater levels fall in response and during the winter months, when abstraction decreases, the
groundwater levels recover.
In summary, groundwater level monitoring data gathered by the Council does not indicate any long-term
reduction in shallow or deep groundwater levels as a result of the abstraction authorised by consent 7470-
1.2. As such, the potential for
conditions of this consent, the conditions of this consent shall prevail.
2. The consent holder shall maintain the structure in a safe and sound state such that:
(a) It does not fall into a state of disrepair and continues to function effectively for the
purpose it was designed; and
(b) Its structural integrity is maintained.
3. The consent holder shall ensure that upstream and downstream passage is provided

had experienced a natural rock fall
event and was buried by large boulders and other debris, which caused the decline in richness and diversity
observed in the previous monitoring period. However, the 2023 data shows that this site experienced an
increase in these parameters from the previous year, which suggests the local intertidal community is
beginning to recover.
Overall, these results indicate that the marine outfall discharge was not having detectable adverse effects on

climber, the longfin eel can climb steep falls and is found in almost
all of New Zealand’s waterways from sea level to 1150m altitude and up to
314km inland. Habitats include streams, rivers, wetlands and lakes.
Juveniles prefer shallow fast-flowing water with coarse substratum, while
adults are more common under the cover of river banks or large debris in
slower flowing water.
