There were no odours or visual issues near the WWTP or trenches at the time of inspection. There
had been significant rainfall preceding the site visit and STDC reported that high flows were continuing at
the time of inspection. There were several areas of ponding throughout the playground / reserve that were
partially barricaded off. The sea was a turbid brown at the time of sampling. Overall, the camp appeared to
be operating in compliance with its consent conditions at the time of inspection.
kōura (freshwater crayfish) were a
staple harvest with large numbers of kahawai and pātiki (flounder) also caught on the river mouths along the
Taranaki Iwi coastline. 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
Council’s Director-
Environment Quality, Gary Bedford. “The coastal sites look
even better.”
He says that while the word ‘swimmability’ rolls easily off
the tongue, the concept is fraught with complications and
questions. “A river in full flood and laden with debris after
heavy rainfall could never be sensibly regarded as
swimmable, no matter what the bacteria levels may be.”
He also says it’s important to note that E. coli are simply an
indicator of a potential risk
substrate combined with low rainfall at the beach
would be restricting the production of leachate from the green waste.
