of the cliffs. As this coastal area is considered ’high energy’, and also that there is
only a very narrow strip of beach (at low tide only), any waters emerging from the cliff would be swiftly
mixed and dispersed. Any effects on groundwater quality or coastal water quality would be negligible. In
general, the creation of stable interlocked layers of green waste ensures that it does not fall off, or get
blown off the cliffs and down onto the coastal marine area or into the sea.

1.1.7 Irrigation systems
In general there are two types of irrigation methods; surface and pressurised. The majority of irrigation
systems currently in operation in the province fall in to the pressurised category. Pressurised systems can be
further differentiated
Dairying is the predominate land use in this unit, which also
includes New Plymouth and other urban areas. Waterways in
these short, steep and relatively small catchments rise and fall
rapidly in response to rainfall. The catchments are small and
subject to relatively high consumption and waste discharge
pressures, especially compared with those in the eastern
hillcountry.

sample, the concentration of total chlorine in the shoreline sample was slightly above the consent limit of
0.1 g/m3 (Table 2). However, it is possible that the actual value for total chlorine did in fact fall below the
consent limit as the repeatability of the chlorine meter used is ± 0.05 g/m3; this result therefore provided
insufficient evidence for non-compliance with condition 4 of consent 2339-4.0.
Company. Through an automated water
level sensor system, the Company can monitor the residual flows in the Manganui River and Mangaotea
Stream, water levels in the race and lake and how much rain is falling locally. This has allowed the Company
to manage race flows to minimise flooding, and has greatly improved the Company’s compliance with
residual flow requirements.
1.3 Resource consents
The Company holds 23 resource consents, the details of which are summarised in the table below.
