detail in Section A1. In addition, flood events in the
Waiwhakaiho River display a ‘flashy’ nature, with flows rising and falling rapidly, discussed further in
Section 3.2.
The Waiwhakaiho River is an incised wandering, mixed bed river characterised by bed and bank
material comprised of large boulders, cobbles, coarse gravels and fine sediment. The true left bank
near the intake structure is bedrock (conglomerate), and on the true right, there are erodible banks
of cobbles held in a loose
VEGETATION
Remember the importance of post-planting
maintenance, if planting riparian margins.
Release-weeding and pest control ensure
good establishment. Silviculture helps
prevent trees from falling into channels,
avoids suppression of ground cover by
lower branches, and ensures good growth
form for timber production. Where banks
are control-grazed, good stock
management is essential to maintain
pasture composition and density. It also
helps suppress weeds. The Council’s

expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14.
There are eight monitored quarries in Taranaki that hold a water abstraction consent. Four of these quarries
actively take water for use in quarry operations, the remaining four hold consents to take groundwater
incidental to quarrying activity.

Conditions were overcast with light spitting rain and a north westerly wind at the time
of the inspection. The camp manager reported that there had been no issues with the
sewerage pump station since the previous
of gravel bedloads.
The mountain and ranges have a strong influence on rainfall by producing orographic type
events which are often associated with frontal systems and depressions moving across the
Tasman Sea. Although the annual totals are quite high, the way in which rainfall is delivered is
more significant. Short duration, high intensity bursts of rain occurring during a storm event are
potentially much more significant in terms of runoff generated and related damage within the
by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14.
The Company holds three permits to abstract water.
1.3.1.1 Waingongoro River
The Company holds water permit 0596-3 to take water from the Waingongoro River for operation of an
AUP. This consent was issued by the Council on 31 August 2012 under Section 87 (d) of the RMA. It is due
to expire on 1 June 2035.

The resource consents are subject to conditions on abstraction and discharge rates, effluent compositions
and receiving water effects, and implementation of management plans. There is provision of six-yearly
reviews of resource consent conditions from 1 June 2023.
Water abstraction permit
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any water, unless the activity
is expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within
groundwater levels as a result of the authorised abstraction.
During the period under review, groundwater levels measured within monitoring bore GND2103 varied in
response to abstraction from GND2010. When abstraction volumes increase over the summer months the
groundwater levels fall in response and during the winter months, when abstraction decreases, the
groundwater levels recover.
In summary, groundwater level monitoring data gathered by the Council does not indicate any long-term
response.
