be emptied soon. The main drain through the yard had been cleaned out. Overall the
site looked to be well maintained and managed at the time of
tidy.

Other Management Issues
Weeds - Medium There are many weeds impinging on the values of this site
including climbing asparagus, wandering willy, wild ginger,
Japanese honeysuckle, African clubmoss, brush wattle and wild
cherry.
Predators - Medium Predators such as rats, mustelids, possums, hedgehogs and feral
cats will be having an impact on the site.
Possum Self-help The site falls outside the rural Possum Self
requirement of consent 9608, held by DR Wilson for abstraction of groundwater at a location across the
Waitotara River for irrigation of pasture land. Consent 9608 requires that abstraction ceases if the water
levels in the Silver Fern Farms supply bores GND0585 and GND1195 fall below 104 and 109 m respectively.
Consent 2261-3.1 requires that the Company record continuous water level data, to an accuracy of ±10 mm
in a dedicated monitoring bore and any operational abstraction bores.
