7.0 Uruti Site Rainfall
Experts generally agree that climate change is affecting New
Zealand’s weather patterns. In Taranaki, rainfall is predicted
to decrease in summer and increase in winter. An increase
in extreme rainfall is likely as the temperature increases
through the 21st century, potentially increasing both the
severity and frequency of flooding. South Taranaki is
predicted to become drier on average, with more frequent
droughts. Gale and storm force winds from the west are also
predicted to
wastewater. These inspections provided for the operation, internal monitoring, and
supervision of the plant to be reviewed by the Council. An additional inspection was
required in relation to a heavy rainfall event and follow-up after remedial works and
another inspection in relation to issues with the Esk Road trade wastes facility.
1.4.4 Wastewater and receiving water quality sampling
The Taranaki Regional Council undertook sampling of wastewater quality and
receiving river water
currently monitored by TRC on a regular long-term basis. In addition, the Northern
Hill Country FMU is under-represented in the monitoring network with only one monitoring site.
At a catchment level, the monitoring sites generally over-represent catchments with:
mean annual temperature <12°C;
mean annual effective precipitation >1500mm;
50% of the cumulative rainfall volume fell between 400m and 1000m;
volcanic acidic dominant geology, and pastoral land cover.
holiday periods. The season under review was the first in which the increased frequency
has been provided by the Council.
During the 2016-2017 summer season, median faecal indicator bacteria counts for the majority
of sites were elevated compared to previous years. The higher counts were likely influenced
by unusually heavy rainfall throughout the summer. Out of the 244 samples collected for both
SEM and for additional monitoring purposes, 91% were below the Alert level. Of the samples

cooler temperatures. It can tolerate both high light and relatively shaded habitats.
Populations are often disconnected due to their specific habitat requirements and
the limited extent of old-growth forest.

f) Rainfall response and contingency measures including procedures to minimise adverse effects in
the event of extreme rainfall events and/or the failure of any key erosion and sediment control

g) Procedures and timing
note that Council expects that all consents issued will require an exclusive
discharge to land and full storage after 1 December 2022. This means that any
consented discharge expiring in 2022 or later must discharge to land.
Dual discharges may be allowed if the farm is in a high rainfall area and provision of
adequate storage is impractical. This option needs to be discussed with Council Staff.

there is no signage or 0800 smell number for them to ring and
complain about the chemical, vomiting stenching smell.
- Our young budgie that was kept in a cage out on the verandah
died after days of chemical, vomiting stench.
- The rainfall in Uruti is 2.5 - 3 metres per annum which is an
extremely high rainfall and therefore when the valley is flooding

also noted that attempts had been made to prevent discharges to ground by placing a plastic liner
under a unit. Unfortunately the control fell short of being useful because there were no sides that would act
as a bund, therefore during a rainfall event any discharges onto the liner would become entrained in
stormwater and flow onto the site. Staff needed to know how to correctly install a bund, with a process set
up to ensure that this activity could be carried out correctly by anyone in the
