identified for total phosphorus are presented in Figure 3. For four lakes (Lake Rotokawau
(NHC), Barret Lagoon (VRP), Lake Kaikura (CT) and Lake Herengawe (CT)), band C applies, while two lakes
(Lake Rotokare (SHC) and Lake Waikare (SHC)) fall within band D.

1.3.2 Water abstraction permit (groundwater)
Section 14 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) stipulates that no person may
take, use, dam or divert any water, unless the activity is expressly allowed for by
resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14.
The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49
of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as
defences in February
as the region was hit by heavy rain. The
deluge saw 138mm of rain recorded at
Cape Egmont in just four hours.
We ran a marine oil spill response exercise
in New Plymouth’s harbour alongside Port
Taranaki, New Plymouth Underwater Ltd
and iwi. We do these to ensure that if there
was a real oil spill, everyone would be
familiar with the equipment and the correct
procedures. An ecologist was on hand to

For an asset to be used by the Trust, the asset is impaired if the value to the Trust in using the asset falls below the carrying amount of the asset.

Further, as the maximum amount of periphyton biomass is affected by the amount of nutrients in the water
column, the NPS-FM also requires councils to set appropriate in-stream concentrations and exceedance
criteria for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) to regulate periphyton
biomass growth

Results and Discussion
On the day that the nets were set, a localised rain event caused flows to increase in the Haehanga Stream.
This also resulted in the discharge of sediment-contaminated stormwater into the Haehanga Stream,
resulting in discolouration. Although discolouration is frequently noted in this catchment, the degree of
discolouration at sites 2 and 3 was
previous monitoring carried out between 2016 and 2020
that show PM2.5 concentrations are consistently very low at the Central School site.
25. Under MfE’s grading criteria, 96% of daily mean concentrations measured at the site
achieved either an ‘excellent’ or a ‘good’ grading across the 2016 to 2021 period, with all
but one day of the remaining 4% falling into the ‘Acceptable’ category.

period was 4
