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.

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.

be well managed. However, one discharge sample taken during the year under review was non-compliant
with consent condition 7. The reading of 172g/m3 exceeded the consent limit of 100g/m3. The consent
holder was notified and asked to investigate the cause of the exceedance. The investigation found that the
yard settling pond contained a large amount of sediment, which resulted in an increase in turbidity after
heavy rain events. The settling pond underwent a deep clean and subsequent testing
summer, which can encourage
dryness in eastern areas and more rain in the west. In winter, the winds tend to blow more from the south,
causing colder temperatures across the country. In spring and autumn, south westerly winds are more
common
During La Niña events northeasterly winds tend to become more common, bringing moist, rainy conditions
to north eastern areas of the North Island and reduced rainfall to the lower and western South Island.

unsuitable for disposal which may be present in the land parcel.
• A maximum daily flow to the field of 5,000m3 to allow some contingency above
the average flow. This equates to 78th percentile flow.
• Disposal only when the day’s rainfall is <10mm.
• When rain prohibits land disposal, all effluent is discharged to the river.
• Storage not allowed for.
The above assumptions would require a disposal field of 165ha including buffer zone.
Using the inflow and rain data, river
bathing’ in NZ would be considered ‘good – acceptable for bathing’ under European standards. It is not 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. During heavy rain and high flows many rivers can be dangerous and
