pathways, is limited only by the ability of the pest to have
viable material that can survive the trip, although a nearby source population of a pest increases
the risk of that pest arriving in the region as viable material.
4.1. Terrestrial pathways
Taranaki Region has three main terrestrial pest entry points via road at State Highway 3 to the north
and south, and SH 43 via Whangamomona, with significantly less traffic volume. There is a fourth
minor road travelling east-west …
Menstrual Products in Schools
It was noted that the Government have introduced funding for menstrual
products in schools. It was clarified that this does not affect the Taranaki
Menstrual workshops that are being organised by the Regional Waste
Minimisation Officer, as these workshops are focused on reusable products as
an alternative to single use products.

HAPs from the cremator stacks, in combination with background levels, are likely to be low,
and unlikely to approach the relevant human health-based standards and guidelines at any location where
people may be exposed.
Complaints about adverse amenity effects from discharges of odour, smoke or particulate matter were not
received during the monitoring period, although visible smoke can be seen from the road occasionally.
Adverse amenity effects are not likely to occur at a frequency or
following two conditions:
Condition 6
When the flow in the Mangatete Stream, measured beneath the Saunders Road bridge, is less than 180
L/sec for a period of seven or more consecutive days, water conservation practices are to be put in place by
the consent holder (i.e. garden water only to be used every second day).
Condition 7
When the flow in the Mangatete Stream, measured beneath the Saunders Road bridge, is less than 120
L/sec for a period of seven or more consecutive days, the

Review of petroleum waste landfarming (Pattle Delamore Partners, 2013).
Although this cost is not strictly associated with stormwater treatment,
improving stormwater quality was a key factor in the decision to seal both of these
areas.
A road sweeping and chamber emptying programme has been implemented and the
stormwater pathways and chambers are regularly cleaned.

This report is the Biennnial Report for the period October 2012-September 2014 by
the Taranaki Regional Council on the monitoring programme associated with
resource consents held by Silver Fern Farms Limited (Waitotara) (SFF Waitotara).
The Company operates a meat processing plant situated on Wai-inu Beach Road at
Waitotara, in the Waitotara catchment. The monitoring period coincides with the
killing season.
This report covers the results and findings of the monitoring programme
(Todd Generation), previously Nova Energy Ltd, operates the McKee Power
Plant on Otaraoa Road near Tikorangi, bridging the Waitara and Onaero catchments. Located to the south
of the McKee Production Station (which processes oil and gas from the McKee and Mangahewa groups of
wellsites), the McKee Power Plant was completed and commissioned during the 2012-2014 period. This 100
MW electricity generating facility provides both peak and base load power for the national grid. This report
