were chosen to be representative of different catchment types such as high conservation,
riparian and major abstraction. Most rivers or streams had one upper (mostly un-impacted)
site, and one or two lower sites (with various degrees of land use impact).
The Hangatahua (Stony) River was selected as a river with high conservation value and the
Maketawa Stream was identified for its important recreational value. The Manganui, Patea
and Waiwhakaiho

consent conditions and surface and groundwater results indicate no adverse impacts from
stockpiling or spreading at this site. Ongoing monitoring of the site will ensure that all
wastes comply with conditions that are to be applied at the time of relinquishment or expiry,
prior to surrender of the consent being accepted by the Council.
