reduction in mean annual sediment load, with a further 15% reduction expected as existing works mature. The Council supports a Government proposal to air qualityintroduce even stricter standards to protect our health, which may make compliance more challenging in some places.

maintenance was required regarding the ring drains, as silt and sediment build up was at times excessive and subsequently resulted in a high suspended solid level on one discharge occasion during a heavy rainfall event. No adverse environmental effects were noted. However, given the failure by the Company to adequately maintain the ring-drains and skimmer pits one abatement notice (to page remedy the facilities) and one infringement notice (for breaching the discharge limit) were
established environmental limits. Environmental effects of exercise of consents Potential environmental effects on the receiving environment at this site include contamination by hydrocarbon spills and increased sediment during high rainfall events. These effects are considered to be a low likelihood. At the time of the sampling on 21st August 2023 it was found that the exercise of the consent was having no more than a minor effect on the tributary. Evaluation of performance A tabular

after intense rainfall on 19 and 20 June resulted in widespread flooding and slips and severe disruptions to roading and electricity networks throughout Taranaki. A Civil Defence State Of Emergency was declared at 9pm on Saturday 20 June, and remained in place for a week. The heaviest rain was in inland South Taranaki but throughout the region, about 60 local roads were blocked by slips and washouts and in at least one case, repairs are expected to take

to the inspection, totaling 8.2 mm between midnight and 0900, based on the Council’s rainfall data from Brookland’s Zoo. There had been intermittent rainfall in the seven days leading up to the survey. With respect to the consent limits, there were two non-compliant results. Total suspended solids (TSS) was 190 g/m3 in the sample collected from STW001135, which discharges stormwater from the CT log yard/debarking area, container wash and railway. TSS was 830 g/m3 Site code Sample type

The primary pond level was slightly high due to recent heavy rainfall throughout the catchment. The pond was a turbid dark green brown. All aerators were operating with the exception of the large Fonterra aerator. Biobugs continue to be dosed into the pond. Two black swans and approximately 30 …
