The predominant soil type has been identified as gravelly sand and the vegetation
cover is pasture, recently converted from native bush. Average annual rainfall for the
site is 1,942 mm (taken from the nearby ‘Stratford’ monitoring station).
No consents were initially held to discharge stormwater from this stockpiling site, as it
was expected to comply with the permitted activity criteria in Rule 23 of the Regional
Freshwater Plan.

fish) and kōura (freshwater crayfish) were a staple harvest with large numbers of kahawai and pātiki (flounder) also caught on the river mouths along the Taranaki Iwi coastline. Although access to many of the age old fishing spots for piharau has become a challenge, many are still caught in the months of June, July and August by Taranaki Iwi families.
Relatively high rainfall up on the mountain quickly drains through these river systems, contributing to high water flows and the swift clearance
original connection from the skimmer pits (STW002016) will be retained so
that during times of high rainfall the flow can come directly from the skimmer pits rather than flushing out
the sediment settling pond.
Sampling of the discharge from the Kaimiro Production Station was undertaken twice during the 2020-2021
monitoring period.

wave and wind conditions dominate the coastal environment. There are few areas of
sheltered water beyond the major estuaries such as the Tongaporutu, Waitara and Patea rivers, and the confines
of Port Taranaki. The Taranaki region has a temperate climate with generally abundant rainfall. The incised nature
of ring plain streams means that flooding is not a major problem. However, occasional intense rainfall events can
lead to rapid rises in river levels and flooding in hill country valleys and
the Wellington property consents (7670-

Average annual rainfall for the site is 1,383 mm (taken from nearby Motunui monitoring station). There are
no significant surface water bodies located in the immediate vicinity of the areas that are landfarmed, other
than small farm drains. Previous land use at the Wellington section of the landfarm has been a mixture of
agriculture and small scale
has been identified as black loamy sand and vegetation growth is primarily a
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
