however the bung was missing allowing rainwater and possibly contaminants to discharge onto the ground.
One solution would be to place an oliophillic mat below the pump to capture any hydrocarbon while
allowing rainwater to drain, this was discussed with staff at the time of the inspection. Also discussed was
the purposed and use of plastic matting under the rig. For some areas plastic matting is suitable, however
for others the matting needs to be used to capture solid/liquid that falls from the
prevent leachate from entering surface waterbodies, groundwater or stockwater.
Site silage stacks so that overland flow of water from heavy rain cannot enter the stack.
Site feed areas away from waterways.
Distribute feed so as to minimise soil damage (from farm equipment and animals) and potential surface run-off to waterways, i.e. avoid Critical Source Areas.
Deer: Make sure silage is made at the optimum moisture content to reduce possible leaching, recommended at 30% dry matter or more.

showing no signs of slumping. There was some ponding present, but the inspection was during a rain event,

3.3 Stability
The Kaitake Range is stable but in recent times landsliding has occurred on steeper
southern slopes during high intensity rain storms resulting in downstream channel
damage.
The Pouakai Range is also displaying evidence of more recently increased
landsliding and some channel deterioration in the north-eastern area in the upper
Oakura River catchment. The majority of the range is stable.

These legal submissions are made on behalf of Taranaki Regional Council (TRC)
and address the following questions that have arisen during the hearing:
(a) Does the existing environment include the effects of the existing consent?
(b) Is it open to the hearing panel to apply a permitted baseline?
(c) Does the proposed activity fall within Rule 52 of the Regional Air Quality
Plan for Taranaki (RAQP)?

It’s important to note that although most applications fall into this ‘non-notified’ category, hundreds of parties are consulted by resource consent applicants in Taranaki each year. If the effects are more than minor or an affected party does not give written approval, the application will have to be notified. People may then make submissions on the application.

rainfall events, or if animals have direct access to waterways. Human faecal
contamination of waterways can occur via poorly treated sewage or septic tank systems, or during heavy rain
when sewerage systems cannot cope and they overflow into stormwater systems. Because of these
heightened health risks from runoff and stormwater, people are often advised to avoid swimming for 48 hours
after prolonged or heavy rain.
There are two distinct components to assessing the suitability of a site for
