even with MfE’s overly optimistic analysis, we will fall well short of what is required as a
national average under the NPS-FM. This is despite the fact that through the Taranaki
Riparian Management Programme the region is investing and doing far more than the
NPS-FM requires and doing more than many other regions in New Zealand.
Since 1995, the percentage of Taranaki’s ring plain streams fenced has risen from 50%
to 85%, and the percentage planted has risen

guideline values, and all results fall into ‘excellent’ Ministry’s air quality category. Two of the
four benzene results were within ‘excellent’ MfE’s category and another two results fell within
the ‘good’ category.
The Council has previously undertaken BTEX monitoring in Taranaki region. The outcomes
of those previous BTEX studies were discussed in the “Air monitoring survey of
hydrocarbon compounds (BTEX) in the Taranaki Region” report which may be

within the 'Acutely threatened' LENZ environment (less than 10% indigenous

The KNE provides connectivity to other KNE sites such as Ngakotana Gorge
and Tarere Forest Extension.

redistributed it as an apron, known as a ringplain. In addition,
significant volumes of ash and tephra were deposited on the ringplain area during
these successive volcanic events.
The drainage capacity of the soils within the ringplain area is variable due to the
variations in soil depositional sequence and structure. In different areas of the
ringplain the effects of erosional deposition and ash fall can vary. Laharic deposition
is more prevalent on the western side of the ringplain,
