from the site, drains to the estuary and then into the Patea River.
Flood potential
Flooding of the site is extremely unlikely due to the large flow capacity of the Patea
River. No mention of site flooding has been made to Council staff during the course
of this investigation. It is likely, given the flat nature of the site, that heavy rain might
cause superficial slight surface flooding of the site before drainage occurs.
Boundary condition
Boundary fencing was in extremely poor
tonnes exported in 2013-
2014 and 209,100 freight tonnes exported in 2014-2015 (Photo 2). This move to bulk
cargo has resulted in an increase in material deposited on the 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,

To aid this process ICPC have produced an agreement to cross notification template for
the exchange of technical information (Attachment 1).The Maintenance Authority for the
crossed cable should then review the information and respond on a timely basis to ensure
that the crossing falls within the guidelines laid down by this procedure, or if that is not
possible, that a compromise is reached which is acceptable to both parties.
raising the stopbanks from Browne Street at
the upstream end of Waitara to the Town Bridge and on the
eastern bank from North Street to High Street east. An early
start to winter rains halted works before they were
completed and so the works will be completed when the
weather dries out before the end of 2014.
The scheme upgrade works will
increase the standard of flood

categories set out in Section 14. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council
under Section 87(d) of the RMA.
Water discharge permits
Section 15(1)(a) of the RMA stipulates that no person may discharge any contaminant into water, unless the
activity is expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or by national regulations.
Permits authorising discharges to water are issued by the Council under
significant proportion of Taranaki’s economy is driven by the
oil and gas (O&G) industry. All of the nation’s commercially
producing fields are in the region, as well as the supporting
production and processing facilities, specialist infrastructure,
power stations and supply chains. The national and global
demand for energy is increasing and Taranaki is at the centre
of this capital and technology-intensive expansion.
But the benefits from the O&G industry don’t just fall on the
