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
revenue streams. Port Taranaki Ltd operates in a highly-
competitive trading environment and there are no guarantees that it will be able to continue to deliver forecast
dividend levels. Accordingly there is a risk that profits and dividends may fall at some future point. This is the
biggest risk to the delivery of the Council’s proposed programmes.
Over the ten years, there are fluctuations in the level of changes in general rates. Unchanged, these fluctuations
would result in
response.

Water abstraction permits
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 some particular
categories set out in Section 14. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council
under Section 87(d) of the
activity under the New Plymouth District Plan. Silt and sediment controls are managed in
accordance with permitted activities requirements.
This consent is required to manage the discharge of contaminants from the site as the stockholding area falls
within 50 m of a farm drain. The associated feedpad is going to be used throughout the winter period. This
will reduce nutrient runoff to waterways during winter as more effluent will be captured by the feedpad and
delivered to the effluent

2.1 Urenui Beach Camp
2.1.1 Inspections
17 December 2015
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

L/s of the residual flow past the weir (constructed in 2002). The remaining residual
flow passes through an old (and mostly ineffective) fish pass on the true left bank of
the weir.
Much of the scheme is monitored and operated remotely. Through a computerised
water level sensor system, Trustpower 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 Trustpower to manage
