A winter Inspection was carried out during fine weather following a period of heavy rain throughout the
catchment. The influent screen was operating and wastes were fully contained. The main pond was
green/brown in colour with a slightly turbid appearance. Odour was noted as being ‘slightly noticeable’. In
excess of 250 Mallard ducks were present on the pond.
Both wetland pond levels were slightly high. These were green/brown in colour and slightly
inspection it was noted that the pedestrian entrances to the shed now had a protected
doorway porch to prevent wind and rain from entering the shed.
During each inspection a sample of the stream was obtained. The samples were clean and clear with no
sheen or odour, iron oxide is naturally present in the stream. There was no discharge from the stormwater
system to sample during any of the inspections.
At the time of each inspection the Company were operating in compliance with their resource
containers and farm plastics. In a submission on the proposed new stewardship regime, the Council supported all six priorities, suggested that tangata whenua be involved in designing the product stewardship scheme, and urged the Government not to let the cost burden of any compulsory requirements fall back on local government.

Taranaki is one of only two regions that has never exceeded the NES air quality guidelines, always falling into the Ministry for the Environment's categories of 'Acceptable' to 'Excellent'. Intensive ongoing air quality monitoring is therefore not required in Taranaki. What do we look for?
Since 1991, the Council has gathered air quality data at up to 20 representative sites across the region including urban,
were markedly improved on the approach to the Piopio South Passing Lane, and
hazardous poplar trees were removed on outside of same curve.
Example - Awakino Gorge Guardrail (2006)
The guardrail was installed at the location of a number of crashes, and protects the corner for a distance
of approximately 400m. There was also some replacement of square kerbing with radial.
Mangaotaki Rockfall (2008)
Heavy rain triggered a large rock fall on
despite the dry conditions and quite strong wind. There were no odours noted onsite. The truck
wash had recently been used and all washings were captured. The sand trap was cloudy in appearance, the
level was lower than the drain and this was not discharging. In general the site was tidy and no spills or
other issues were noted around the site.

Rules 35 and 36 of the RFWP do not include any matters of

scope.
