has a useful life of 12 months or more, and the
current value of the asset is readily obtainable and significant. Significant donated assets for which
current values are not readily obtainable are not recognised. For an asset to be sold, the asset is
impaired if the market price for an equivalent asset falls below its carrying amount. 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.

class.
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

The Esk Road septic wastes unloading facility was also inspected. This area was found to be in a satisfactory
condition with no odour or unauthorised waste disposal issues noted.

An inspection was conducted in overcast, showery weather with a westerly wind. The monthly rainfall was

Water quantity and allocation
Taranaki gets a lot of rain and it’s difficult to imagine the
region ever running out of water.
However, there is growing demand for water from large-scale
petrochemical, dairy and meat processing operations, as well
as from agriculture for pasture irrigation. So we must pay
careful attention to how water is allocated, particularly during
drier periods and droughts, when water
Site-based baseline states 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.

Surface water from recent rain was discharging via three of the open trenches to the coast. Several (known)
boggy areas discharging from the north trench line were contributing to ponding that was visible from the
main highway.
The Hector Place pumping station and the emergency overflow structure were also inspected and found to
be satisfactory.

in September 2015 (Figure 5).
Since this date, numerous attempts had been undertaken to re-establish the vegetation, however wind and
rain erosion had hindered the progress.
Figures 6 and 7 denote the follow up re-sown grass which was undertaken in May 2016. The re-sown grass
was blown out through wind and rain erosion throughout the 2016 winter. In February of 2017, the site was
revisited. The site management had undertaken additional
