mixture of pasture and dune grasses. Test pitting and the logging of boreholes on site indicated a relatively
shallow water table. Test bores were augured 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
stormwater/sediment
down the access track towards the newly installed culvert may lead to a direct discharge into the stream and
this required monitoring during rainfall events.

A site inspection was undertaken at the Kowhai-D wellsite. This showed that the wellsite had been designed
in such a manner that should prevent or minimise any off site effects from stormwater discharges. The very
best techniques in silt and sediment control had been implemented; bunds about operational areas
particulate deposition were above the 130 mg/m2/day guideline value at
sites AIR004601 and AIR004602. Elevated results were also observed at other sites in
the Mangati catchment during the monitoring period. This may have resulted from
increased activity in the area, coupled with extended dry periods in late summer and
early autumn (there was only one significant rainfall event during the monitoring run).
The particulate level at site AIR004603, closest to the MASL facilities, was conversely
well

The purpose of this report is to review
issues associated with small stream
modification in the Taranaki region and in
response to findings, develop and amend
policies, methods and rules for the
proposed Regional Fresh Water Plan for
Taranaki (the Freshwater Plan).
1.2 Background
Taranaki has a very dense drainage
network, the natural consequence of the
regions topography, frequent and
plentiful rainfall and gravity’s effects upon
water.

following the Easter weekend of inclement
weather with heavy rain and strong winds. The Manu Stream outlet on the beach
below the Duck Pond showed no effects of any discharge. No odours or smoke were
apparent downwind of the site. Everything was satisfactory.
29 April 2014
An inspection was undertaken following very heavy rainfall experienced over the
preceding weekend. The site was neat and tidy. Minimal activity was occurring. No
odours or smoke were noted from flaring or other on site
