Green waste from a Hawera based contractor is transported to the site and discharged over
areas of sandy pasture that have undergone aeolian erosion. The green waste helps trap soil
and sand and upon decomposition, adds nutrients and condition to the sandy soils.
This report for the period July 2014 to June 2015 describes the monitoring programme
implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to
section 36 in relation to:
i) the administration, monitoring and supervision of this consent; and
ii) charges authorised by regulations.
Special conditions
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 settlement
ponds or sediment traps with a minimum total capacity of;
a) 100 cubic metres for every hectare of exposed soil between 1 November to 30
on 25 July 2013 under Section 87(e) of the RMA. It is due
to expire in June 2018.
There are ten special conditions attached to the consent.
Conditions 1 and 2 require the preparation and adherence of/to a dust control
management plan.
Condition 3 deals with best practicable option.
Condition 4 requires that the soil exposure not exceed 15.15 ha.
Condition 5 requires that the consent holder notify Council prior to exercising the
consent.
Conditions 6 and 7 deal with dust
material at 0.5m.
Building rubble to 2m, sampled dark
material at 1.5m.
Pit 5 excavation Pit 5 spoil, showing extensive building
rubble.
Pit 6 at 2637351-6159399, natural ground encountered under approx 200mm of metal.
A surface soil sample (824) was taken at 2637348-6159410, of blackened soil amongst rail line

Taranaki Regional Council:
1. receives the memorandum and the Taiao, Taiora an Iwi Environmental
Management Plan for the Taranaki iwi Rohe (2018)
2. notes that the Plan outlines the expectations and the position of Taranaki Iwi on
matters relating to the environment in their rohe
3. notes that the Plan will be taken into account during the review of the Council’s
Resource Management Act policy documents concerning air, freshwater, soil and
coastal resources
4. recognises that
aquifer has approximately
2.7% allocated. All other aquifers have insignificant volumes of water allocated (<1% of estimated sustainable
yield).
The relatively low demand placed on groundwater resources across Taranaki is likely due to several factors.
Firstly, most areas of Taranaki receive regular and plentiful rainfall, with a steep rainfall gradient inward from
coastal areas. The high rainfall experienced in Taranaki also means that, outside of coastal areas, soil moisture
deficits are
for plant growth, however an excess of phosphorus can encourage the nuisance
growth of algae and macrophytes and be degrading to ecosystems. Phosphorus is naturally elevated in our
region’s soils due to the volcanic geology, however fertiliser application along with the discharge of
domestic and animal waste also contribute to elevated levels of phosphorus in freshwater. Much of the
phosphorus in lakes is a legacy of erosion caused by land development activities such as native
