water quality sampling sites
2.1.3 Results of receiving environment monitoring
2.1.3.1 Chemical
Receiving water quality sampling was undertaken in conjunction with discharge
sampling at points upstream (PIK000159) and downstream (PIK000166) of the
discharge. The results are presented in Table 2 and the sampling sites are shown in
Figure 1. These sites were chosen because they provide safe access to the stream
during periods of rain and are outside of the discharge mixing zone.
ground in the log and coal
storage areas (Figure 1). When it rains this material is washed into the stormwater
system, resulting in high suspended solids. In order to minimise deleterious effects
on the receiving environment, Port Taranaki Limited implemented a number of
preventative measures over the 2011-2014 period, including investing approximately
$700,000 in an improved stormwater system.

remotely by Trustpower. Through an automated 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
race flows to minimise flooding, and has greatly improved Trustpower’s compliance with residual flow
requirements.

We need a multi sports facility as our current one is outdated. More people play other sports than rugby in Taranaki so it would be more beneficial for our community than upgrading Yarrow
stadium to only house rugby.

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
