This schedule identifies eight areas of outstanding natural character and nine areas that are outstanding natural features or landscapes. A values table and map for each area is included
below. Information included within this schedule has been informed by the report Regional landscape study
(SAM2) is an in-stream visual assessment of the surface area of
the streambed covered with fine sediment used for measuring the deposited sediment metric.
Monitoring of sediment in the Taranaki region
Suspended fine sediment
Suspended fine sediment is monitored with black disc visual clarity at 42 sites in the Taranaki region as part
of a range of TRC water quality monitoring programmes, carried out for state of the environment (SoE),

system and areas of application.
If your system is old or inherited you may not have the design plans, you can
