topography of the hill country is steeply
dissected and is prone to soil erosion and
slipping, but can support both pastoral
farming and commercial forestry when
managed in accordance with the physical
limitations of the land.
The coastal terraces along the north and south Taranaki
coast make up the third major landform feature of the
region. The soils of these areas are among the most

1. The active area of the quarry shall not exceed 1.5 hectares at any one time.
2. If any area of soil is exposed, all run off from that area shall pass through
that will have actual or potential effects on the
environment. Examples of a minor non-compliance are deficient baffles between ponds, minor failure to contain
shed/race effluent and washings where these discharge to land, and deficient stormwater diversion system.
Examples of significant non-compliance are ponding of effluent on the soil surface (unauthorised by resource
consent), breach of discharge standards required in the resource consent, inadequate effluent storage and land

occur;
• Regular inspections of the interceptor pits occurred; and
• Maintenance and repairs were carried out if required.
Interceptor pits do not discharge directly to surface water, instead they discharge
onto and into land where the discharge usually soaks into the soil before reaching
any surface water. However, if high rainfall had resulted in the discharge reaching
the surface water, significant
