The Developed Taranaki chapter includes the following section on the Forgotten World Highway:
“Established in 1990 the Stratford to Taumarunui Heritage Trail promotes the rich history along the route
linking Taranaki and the Central North Island. Branded the ‘Forgotten World Highway’ it threads through
155km of pristine scenic sub-tropical rain forests.

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.

estuaries are well flushed, with little diversity in the way of intertidal and subtidal habitats.
Sedimentation has a major influence on the region’s estuaries, the factors behind which
include rain fall and modified land use. The large number of rivers and the erosion of
Mount Taranaki generally bring a lot of sediment to the coast. However, the high energy
coastline means this sediment supply does not settle long enough to greatly assist with
the beach building process.

TBP holds two water permits that provide for abstraction of water, one from the Inaha Stream and one from
groundwater.
TBP holds water permit 2051-4 to cover the abstraction of up to 50 L/s of water from the Inaha Stream for a
