After lunch, we set out for
Taranaki. Once we were out on the open
road the wind hit us with full force. Even
in a vehicle as large as a minibus we
were buffeted by heavy gusts, which
must have made our driver’s job very
tiring. The wind eased to merely very
blustery by the time we reached
Wanganui. At Westmere, north of
Wanganui we headed west off the main
road to visit the Bason Botanical Reserve.
We had a short time allowed
of any
dwelling house. If possible, site the ponds downwind from dwellings, roads and other
public places. The greater the distance from a potential complainant the better.
Recommended proximity to public roads: no part of the system to be within 20m of any
road or farm boundary.
Allow for a straight run of pipelines, tractors and desludging vehicles to the ponds.
Site in an open area so as to take advantage of the sun and wind, which assist the
efficient operation of the
compliance monitoring programmes achieved a high level of
environmental performance and compliance with their consents, while another 59%
demonstrated a good level of environmental performance and compliance with their
consents.
