monitoring inspection and to take
water samples. The weather was fine with 13 mm rain falling over previous 72 hours
and the stream system was in low flow. A truck was discharging drilling muds and a
digger was operating blending in sawdust at time of inspection. A discussion was
held with the digger driver and site manager on the drainage issues at the top of the
lower irrigation area and the installation of novaflo in a few swampy areas on the
main irrigation flats. Discussion included the
freshwater and coastal swimming spots last summer found higher-than-usual levels of bacteria, reflecting the season’s higher rainfall, the Policy and Planning Committee was told. More rain meant dairy effluent ponds discharged for longer and more frequently than usual, and clouds prevented the sun from breaking down bacteria. Even so, waterfowl continued to be the main culprits at the worst freshwater sites, the Waiwhakaiho River near Lake Rotomanu and the mouths of Te Henui Stream and Waimoku Stream.
After falling in love with the lathe he bought for his wife more than 40 years ago, Stratford woodworker Tony Waterson has never looked back. Waterson joins New Zealand’s finest woodcrafters taking part in this weekend’s Taranaki Woodcraft Festival at Pukeiti. The competition organised by the Stratford Woodturners Club & Taranaki Woodworkers Guild is the only one of its kind in New Zealand this year. Waterson has been chipping away at his sculptures for this year's competition and says coming
million tonnes of soil.
On residential properties nearest to the Dow plant, soil dioxin concentrations were typically in the
range 5 to 15 ng/kg of soil, falling to a range of 1 to 5 ng/kg further out. One sample had a
concentration of 27 ng/kg. There was 92 ng/kg measured at a non-residential site, on the west-
facing slope of Mount Moturoa Domain.
Generally there was little difference between soil dioxin levels in lawn areas compared with
gardens on the same property.

In the 2016-2017 monitoring period, issues were found with unacceptable wastes being exposed by coastal
erosion. This resulted in the site being closed to the public in 2017. Any further dune stabilisation will be
done using green waste disposed of at the Patea transfer station.
Patea Beach is an elevated site which for most of the time is dry. Rain that does fall on the site drains away
at a very rapid rate. The site does not suffer from …
weather. About 40% of
New Plymouth’s rain comes with winds from the north or north-east, usually falling
as steady rain for several hours or longer. South easterlies tend to be dry. The annual
rainfall for New Plymouth averages around 1500 mm. Rainfall across the region
varies from around 1000 mm on the southern coast, to 2000 mm at the highest points
of the ringplain around Stratford, and higher rainfall in the hill country and on Mt
Taranaki.
Wind roses for the region are shown in Figure 3.

FM objective. Given that the Council can only consider policies that relate to the matters over which the
Council has reserved control through the plan itself, the Council is unable to take into account matters that
fall outside this scope.
You will be aware that, with few exceptions, when a dairy consent involving a discharge to water is replaced,
the Council only allows the water discharge to continue until 1 December 2022, then the only discharge
allowed is to land.
nautical miles offshore to include the waters of the territorial sea. There are three district councils within the region — New Plymouth, Stratford and South Taranaki district councils. The area of Stratford district to the east of Pohokura Saddle falls into Manawatu-Whanganui (Horizons) region. Taranaki can offer residents and visitors the opportunity to surf and ski on the same day. Taranaki consists of four distinctive landforms, each of which requires a different type of environmental management.
