For existing ponds, we provide estimated leak rates and comments on leak detection monitoring and maintenance (see Section 4). • Environmental considerations for siting new ponds (see Section 5). 1.2 Scope of work We have carried out the following: • Desk top review of available geological information including: - Townsend et al., 2008.

experienced the intensification seen in some other regions. For example, the total number of milking dairy cattle in 1998/1999 was 481,034 (nearly 15% of the nation’s milking herd) and by 2013/2014 it was still only 493,361 (10% of the national herd). Likewise, stocking rates have hardly changed, from an average of 2.8 cows per hectare in 1998/1999 to 2.85 cows per hectare in 2013/2014. These are lower stocking rates than the national average. The pressures on land use are not

Where erosion control works will be of benefit to more than one landowner, a subsidy from the Councils General Rate may be available from the Regional Council. No subsidy will be available for the protection of District Council or national assets such as highway and rail bridges. Currently the key location where channel

The New Plymouth district is expected to experience high population growth. Housing: In general, all housing indicators show upward trends. The cost of building or buying a first home in New Plymouth has increased, with housing affordability also on the rise in the short term. Rent has continued to increase but the rate of change remains steady, alongside rental affordability. Subdivisions: The increase in sub-dividable consents and residential consent applications has …

regularly. A backup system allowed the collection of a limited range of critical data, which allowed Trustpower to continue operating the scheme in line with other conditions (e.g. residual flows, race water levels etc.). There was only one occasion when required flow rates were not complied with. This related to a severe weather event resulting in a high race water level but was of short duration (no more than 2.5 hours). Compliance with flushing flow requirements was good with regards to the
