A site visit was to conduct a compliance monitoring inspection and to take water
samples. There were intermittent showers with 24 mm rain over the previous 48 hours.
The cap was well vegetated and appeared to be stable and sound.

The leachate/stormwater pond was half full and not discharging. There was some
kind of organic growth floating on the surface (either algae or iron oxide bacteria). A
sample of pond water was taken to be tested for the
catchment area is approximately 6.1 km2. The length
of the catchment, from the headwaters between Paraite and Corbett Roads to the sea at Bell Block beach, is
approximately five kilometres.
The industrial area at Bell Block is situated mid-catchment (Figure 1). Historically, the industrial areas were
located predominantly on the western side of the stream however, ongoing development since 2016 has
resulted in more sites on the eastern side. These sites fall under permitted activity rules and
Government to start achieving its
Predator Free 2050 goal, by
supporting and further funding a number of
initiatives already under way involving public
and private agencies – for example, Project
Mounga, self-help possum control and many
community-based projects. Taranaki’s compact
scale and united focus make it a great pilot.

Consent 7557-1 was being exercised at time of inspection. Flaring was occurring at
time of inspection. The flare looked clean with minimal smoke being generated. Works
had been undertaken to improve the quality of the flare.
Consent 7555-1 was being exercised at time of inspection. Heavy rain was falling at
time of inspection. The ring drains and skimmer pits had been dry during the days
prior. At the time of inspection stormwater was beginning to pool in the first skimmer
pit. No stormwater
minimised.
Special condition 10 provides for review of any or all of the conditions of the consent.
The permit is attached to this report in Appendix I.
1.3.3 Water abstraction permit
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.
DH Lepper Trust holds consent 0188-3 to cover the
possible to maintain micro-organisms at very low levels all of the time in all water bodies, but the investment by local communities in upgraded sewage collection and treatment systems, and by farmers fencing and planting streambanks to control stock access and reduce pasture runoff go a long way to improving water quality in Taranaki.

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.

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.
