discharge of contaminants onto or into land
that may result in water contamination may not take place unless expressly allowed by
a rule in a regional plan, resource consent or other relevant regulations. The control of
DWI activities through the resource consenting process and subsequent compliance
monitoring is an appropriate regulatory regime. In the Taranaki region, the discharge
of contaminants by DWI requires resource consent from the Council. The activity falls
under Rule 51 of the
Taranaki Biodiversity Forum Accord 2012 - Taranaki Regional Council
resulted in some
highway pavements literally falling apart due to the heat.
CW stated that total crashes statistics not good for this year so far.
There have been three fatalities in the last few weeks.
STDC (VL)
Work has started on the Denby Road Pathway which will connect
Hawera to Waihi Beach and is a high profile project for STDC.
Permanent restoration works for flood damage is largely progressing
well. Lakes Road package out for tender shortly.
The waste products from backwashing of the filters (and clarifier bleed at some sites) are either discharged
to land or to a surface waterway via a settling pond (or tank), or are contained in cartridges disposed of at
landfills.

1.3 Resource consents
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
the Draft Tracks and Trails
Strategy and potential cycle trails. It is over to authorities to determine where the
routes should go, in particular Hawera to New Plymouth which is part of the
NZTA safety upgrade. The budget for that length of highway is $30-$40m. There
was discussion around this. JB noted it had been formerly determined which paper
roads could be best suited. WW suggested it may fall under PGF criteria but would
have to identify economic benefit. Have it in the RLTP for a

Ten-year trend analysis indicates that total and dissolved reactive phosphorus
concentrations, and total and ammoniacal nitrogen concentrations are all increasing (i.e.,
water quality is degrading) at the SH3 site (Table 3.1). This may be related to the
intensification of dairying in the catchment. Ammoniacal nitrogen concentrations however
fall
