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.

2.1.3 Results of consent holder monitoring
2.1.2.1 Stormwater monitoring by OMV
OMV monitors the combined stormwater discharge from the site, with sampling triggered by rainfall events.
Table 4 shows the results obtained during the 2020-2021 monitoring year. In all samples pH, hydrocarbons,

site to this recognised ecosystem had been taken into account in the setting of
buffer distances and location of the stockpiling facilities.
The predominant soil type has been identified as gravelly sand and vegetation growth consists of native
bush which transitions into pasture. Average annual rainfall for the site is 1,942 mm (taken from the nearby
‘Stratford’ monitoring station).
The stockpiling facility located at Surrey Road is operated under one consent (7559-1.4). This consent …
