all this autumn colour means a lot of leaf fall and subsequent raking. To be honest, we sometimes run out of places to hide them. Thankfully, the idea of removing every leaf is fading away. The benefits of leaf litter, the fungi that consume it and recycling it into the soil are now being recognised. Our current process is to clear paths, chop up anything that falls on the grass and add it back to the turf. The general policy is to leave what we can to be broken down and added to the soil
The rain stayed away from Taranaki Maunga in December with just 60% of the long-term average recorded at North Egmont. It was a different story in the Eastern Hill Country with 194% at Mangaehu at Bridge. Across the region, rainfall was 109% of the long-term average. Total rainfall for 2022 ranged from 112% (Kotare at OSullivans) to 158% (Kapoaiaia at Lighthouse) with an average of 128.6% of normal. Mean river flows for December were close to typical December averages at around +19.6% while
the best level of control. The technicians use weather forecasting to predict the lime dose, for example reducing the lime does set point if heavy rain is forecast. However, the weather forecasts have not always eventuated which sometimes results in quadrants being under-dosed. The technicians continue to focus on pH control to achieve target dose ranges. • The outfall pump station was working well and only routine maintenance work was required to be undertaken. • NPDC

figure of 43mm of rainfall per hour will be utilised. This is a very consen/ative figure as values for the top 30 occurrences range from 8.0 to 15mm with the average being 9.4mm (refer Table 2) Runoff of the falling rain will be influenced by the site's runoff coefficient. This has been calculated to be 0.7. Remediation (NZ) Ltd considers this coefficient to be a conservative runoff coefficient as the papa base provides a very high degree of impermeability.

and leachate. page 6 2. Results 2.1 Inspections The site was inspected on two occasions. The inspections focussed on the type of material being discharged, discharge site stability and leachate/stormwater control. 7 November 2012. A site visit was made to conduct a compliance monitoring inspection. The weather was fine with no rain falling over the previous 48 hours. There did not appear to be any new greenwaste discharged at the site since the
as well as ensuring public awareness of the impacts of stormwater on recreational water quality particularly after a rain event. In the coastal water, where most people are likely to bathe, counts were well within ‘Surveillance’ mode (MfE, 2003; Table 3). The health risk overall, was therefore considered to be low. The addition of groundwater monitoring to the 2023/24 programme allows the Council to track impacts to groundwater quality from the WWTP. In the first year, groundwater samples
