freshwater quality is good

out in the NOF. The region’s small number of lakes largely fall
within the bands A to C.
Where the A to C grading is not achieved, the causes are
generally natural and thus exempt from national bottom line
requirements.

Maunga Dawson Falls and North Egmont Visitor Centre
average slightly over 9°C. Winter temperatures average
between 7 and 8°C, with a fresher 3°C at our mountain sites.
Summer daily averages are from 19 to 20°C, and 16°C on
Taranaki Maunga. Although summer days can feel hot, the
temperate climate, and our proximity to the
ocean mean that, in summer, the mercury rarely climbs
above 30°C.

intense rainfall on 19 and 20 June resulted in
widespread flooding and slips and severe
disruptions to roading and electricity networks
throughout Taranaki. A Civil Defence State Of
Emergency was declared at 9pm on Saturday
20 June, and remained in place for a week.
The heaviest rain was in inland South Taranaki
but throughout the region, about 60 local roads
were blocked by slips and washouts and in at
least one case, repairs are expected to take

incorporate the muds. The center of the spreading area appeared to have unblended
mud on the surface. Some ponding was evident from recent heavy rain in the south
west corner of the spreading area. No hydrocarbons were found around any of the
spreading area. Historic application areas appeared healthy and the pasture cover was
good. Mud clumps were identified within the soil profile in dig test pits.

sodium, compared to rainfall that falls inland. Nearly two thirds of GQMP sites plot
below the SWDL, suggesting that much of the region’s groundwater is enriched with
sodium from rock/water interactions with sodium rich source rocks.
