allocated across FMU-A and FMU-B. All other aquifers
have insignificant volumes of water allocated (≤1 % of estimated sustainable yield). It is not foreseen that
there will be any increases in groundwater demand in the short to medium-term that would be sufficient
to place groundwater resources under any significant allocation pressure.
As would be expected, monitored groundwater sites display fluctuations in water level as a result of
seasonal variations in rainfall recharge. The

by the Company, and consists of steep eroded hillsides, multiple side gullies, and small river flats distributed
along its length. The area receives more rainfall than the northern Taranaki coastline to the south-west. Soils
are generally poor and highly erodible. Patches of bush and planted trees cover most of the hillsides, with

burial sites and the water table was not met in some areas of the Cemetery. An abatement notice (EAC-

drainage at the site to prevent any further breaches of the consent occurring.

Summary
The key points to be taken from the Taranaki June 2015 Flood Event are:
A high intensity rainfall event occurred between the 19-20 June and was concentrated

in some areas of the Cemetery.
During the year, NPDC demonstrated a good level of environmental and high level of administrative
performance with the resource consents
For reference, in the 2020-2021 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 86% of the consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored monitoring
pump stations (all due to high rainfall and power outages during Cyclone Dovi in
February 2022), and a further 14 reticulation overflows (the majority of which were due to high rainfall or
blockages due to fat and/or wet wipes). This total of 23 unauthorised incidents is similar to the previous two
monitoring periods.
During the year, NPDC demonstrated an overall high level of environmental and administrative compliance
and performance with the resource consents related to NPWWTP
