Results 2.1 Water 2.1.1 Inspections Six inspections were carried out at the Rimu Production Station and associated wellsites in the 2014-2015 year. The following was found during the inspections: 15 July 2014 The site was found to be neat and tidy. Recent heavy rainfall had not resulted in any problems, with
fully contained. The level in the primary pond was slightly higher than usual due to recent heavy rainfall throughout the catchment. This was turbid and green-brown in colour. All aerators except the large Fonterra aerator were operating. A set of ‘4 Earth’ aerators had been set up on the pond inlet. There were numerous birds present on the pond with an estimated excess of 1,000 mallard and paradise ducks. Minor amounts of stormwater were noted in the holding pond following the recent wet

Climate change will have wide-ranging impacts on Taranaki. Temperature is expected to increase by between 0.5°C and 1.5°C by 2040, while rainfall will

During high rainfall events, the maturation pond can overflow into the neighbouring emergency overflow/storage detention pond (capacity approximately 65,000 m3, NIWA 2012) with wastewater then being passed back into Pond 1. Consent 7520-1 has been granted to allow overflow from the detention
complying with consent conditions. The Company records the volume of each discharge which is pumped from the site to the outlet structure adjacent to the Kapuni Stream. A summary of the total volume of stormwater discharged each month is provided in Figure 4. The total discharge to the stream was approximately one third of previous years. This reduction was attributed to a decrease in rainfall (the recorder at Kaupokonui at Glenn Road recorded 788mm compared with 1,364mm in the 2022/23 year).
regional significant river and important recreational whitebait fishery. The Haehanga Catchment covers 5.73 km2 (TRC Explorer), with monthly rainfall averaging 176 mm. The catchment geology in the Haehanga is dominated by Papa mudstones which are easily eroded and can contribute to poor water clarity in the water ways. 4.2.2.1 Haehanga Stream and tributaries The Haehanga Stream is an entrenched meandering stream below the site, but adjacent the composting facility the stream has been modified
samples were collected for analysis. One abatement notice was issued in relation to untreated silt and sediment discharges leaving the site due to heavy rainfall inundating the capacity of the silt and sediment controls. Four samples were obtained and analysed in conjunction with this incident. Follow up inspections found the abatement notice had been adhered to. These discharges were deemed unlikely to have any significant adverse effect on receiving waters as discharges were temporary in
