concentrations in rivers to protect ecosystem health, and to meet limits for other attributes that may be
impacted by nutrients, such as the growth of algae (periphyton). These limits are likely to be much lower
than those required to avoid toxicity effects.
The NOF attribute state for DRP is defined by two numeric attribute bands, five year median and five year
95th percentile concentrations (Appendices 2B) as shown in Table 3. The NPS-FM attribute state bands for
DRP concentration are

cyanobacteria programme (covering four lakes) instigated after consultation with Taranaki District Health
Board. A site in the lower Waitara River was added in the 2010-2011 period at the joint request of Taranaki

• Resource management direct charges - $1,656,212 under budget mainly due to Waitara
Lands reserve distributions being less than budgeted
• Biosecurity/pest management - $117,400 under budget mainly due to staff vacancies
and lower contractor costs
• Towards Predator-Free Taranaki - $1,319,789 under budget due to lower rural project
contract costs and delays in availability of materials.
• Biosecurity and biodiversity direct

Compliance monitoring programmes - $325,952 under budget due to staff vacancies and
less time spent on monitoring activities than planned.
State of the environment monitoring - $101,017 over budget due to additional work
required reviewing programmes to meet the new National Policy Statement for
Freshwater Management.
Resource Management direct charges - $495,518 over budget due to Waitara Lands
reserve distributions being received earlier than expected.

diversion weir.
No – the diversion weir is
necessary to provide sufficient
head / impoundment to enable the
diversion of water into the
Motukawa Race. If the weir was to
be removed, or replaced with a
lower head structure, this would
require significant civil works in the
bed of the Manganui River and the
lowering of the Motukawa Race in

Across the affected band, recorded rainfalls were much higher than both the 2004 and
2006 events however the worst effects were localised. The 2004 event had a much more
severe overall impact because the amount of rainfall received for the whole of the month
was extreme, and much
‘poor’ scores and one site with a ‘very poor’ score. Of
particular note was the Mangati Stream that had ‘poor’ scores for both spring and summer, which is known
to have a variety of water quality issues, the lower Huatoki Stream site summer score of only 56 units, the
lower Waiwhakaiho River site at Constance St summer score of 60 units, and the lower Waitara River site
summer score of 64 units. The latter three sites had scores that were either new minima, or equalled historic

Four beach sites (40%),
Ngāmotu, Ohawe, Onaero at the campground, and Waitara
East, showed deteriorating trends. Trends at the remaining
five beach sites (50%) were indeterminate. When comparing
the long-term results with the short-term results, there were
only three beaches where trend direction did not change.
Overall, compared to the long-term results, there were a
higher proportion of deteriorating and indeterminate trends
