identified as black loamy sand, and vegetation growth is primarily a mixture of pasture and
dune grasses. Average annual rainfall for the site is 1,122 mm (taken from the nearby Glenn Road
monitoring station). Two significant surface water bodies run adjacent to the spreading areas. The Waimate
Stream flanks the north-western side of the main western site, whilst the Rawa Stream runs adjacent to the
north-western side of the smaller eastern site. The Waimate Stream in the immediate vicinity of the

planting contractors note that seedlings grow faster on warm north facing
slopes.
• Climate: Mean annual temperature and rainfall determine the speed of seedling
growth, but the seedlings can germinate and grow in an extremely wide range
of conditions. Both species have woody roots that make them drought tolerant.
• Frosts: Once established, both species can withstand hard frosts and snow.
identified as black loamy sand
and vegetation growth consists mostly of pasture. Test pitting and the logging of
boreholes on site indicated a relatively shallow water table. Test bores were augured to
10 m both around the wastes holding pit area and to the south-western site boundary,
revealing alternating layers of sand and clays. Bore construction also revealed localised
peat layers within some augured cores (approximately 4–8 m below surface). Average
annual rainfall for the site is 1,043 mm

to 10 m in the pit area, revealing extensive compacted, low
permeable clays underlying coastal dune sands. Pit construction revealed mostly tightly packed sand at the
pit bases (approximately 4-5 m below surface). Average annual rainfall for the site is 1,023 mm (taken from
the nearby ‘Duffy’ monitoring station). As with the other South Taranaki coastal sites, this site is subject to
strong winds.

Stormwater from the production station is collected and discharged at three separate points. The water level
in the firewater pond in the north western corner of the site is maintained by an abstraction from the
Ngaere Stream. Overflow due to rainfall entering this pond is discharged to land and to the Ngaere Stream
to the north of the pond. Stormwater from the process areas is directed to a
