Council’s monitoring programme included four inspections, physicochemical analysis of two stream samples, one stormwater/discharge sample, two effluent grab samples, two composite effluent samples, and two groundwater samples, two air quality surveys and one depositional gauging. Abstraction volumes from Waingongoro River complied with the consent limit. A contribution of $30,000 towards riparian planting and management in Waingongoro catchment was made, the last of ten annual payments required
and the significance of that change to the issues of concern to the submitters; Describe concerns re the odour issue and the limited number of verified complaints over the last ten years; Describe the further operational changes and steps to manage odour including controlling cold air drainage from the site; page Describe improvements to the stream margins and native planting; Address future improvements in the site, including: (a) Further riparian
buffering of summer low- flows and the recharging of groundwater. The riparian zone of such streams (and the stream channel itself) provides important functions such as trapping sediments, recycling nutrients and filtering pollution from fertilisers and animal waste. Analysis of relevant literature, and the fish and macroinvertebrate data available on the Councils database, indicate that in Taranaki, small streams provide important fish habitat, and higher altitude small streams that are mountain

Upper and middle reaches very highly rated for aesthetic and scenic values. Median flow of 3500l/s at Mangatete Bridge. Steep gradients in upper and mid reaches with significant water movement and many rapids.

Apart from the one single pōhutukawa at Lepperton, no myrtle rust was found. The Ministry for Primary Industries, which has been managing the response to myrtle rust, was satisfied the rest of the plants posed no risk, and allowed their distribution.
