the streambed fauna.
The fish survey indicated that fish communities in the Waiwhakaiho River and Mangaone
Stream generally had a moderate species diversity at all sites. The results were considered to
reflect a relatively healthy community, that in the Mangaone Stream, was well on its way to
recovery following the pollution incident of 2011.
Monitoring of groundwater and leachate in relation to the old landfill area off Bewley Road
showed that all of the samples collected from the
Stream that was built in 1931 that replaced
an older scheme established around the turn of the century (1995 AEE).
Most of the inflow (85%) to Lake Mangamahoe is sourced from a diversion on the Waiwhakaiho
River that comprises an intake and tunnel on the left bank of the river. The balance of the lake inflow
(15%) is derived from natural tributaries to the lake, principally the Mangamahoe Stream and Kent
Road Stream. Water is returned to the Waiwhakaiho River via the MGR power station at Hydro
Executive summary
Waste Remediation Services Ltd (the Company) operates a drilling waste landfarm (Waikaikai Landfarm)
located off Lower Manutahi Road at Manutahi, South Taranaki, in the Mangaroa catchment.
This report for the period July 2021 to June 2022 describes the monitoring programme implemented by the
Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess the Company’s environmental and consent compliance
performance during the period under review. The report also details the results of the
found in the Mangaone Stream downstream of Taranaki Sawmills Ltd during one wet
weather survey. The levels found, whilst exceeding national environmental exposure limits
(EELS), they were found to be well within the empirical NOEC’s (no observable effect
page
concentrations) for aquatic life developed by the European Chemical Agency and the
Cawthron Institute.
Monitoring of groundwater and leachate in relation to the old landfill area off Bewley Road
showed that
further 76 surf breaks
have been identified as regionally significant in the Regional
Policy Statement for Taranaki.
The Council has prepared a Draft Coastal Plan that, among other
things, provides a high level of protection to all 80 surf breaks,
with the four nationally significant surf breaks having the highest
level of protection. The Draft Plan also identifies a stretch of surf
breaks from Kaihihi Road to Cape Road as a ‘Nationally
Significant Surfing Area’. The
presentation to the Committee
on the proposed variation being an extension of Nukumaru Station Road as an
alternative route to Waiinu Beach and the Silver Fern Farm Waitotara processing plant.
The proposed extension is a new 6km road from the end of Nukumaru Station Road to
Waiinu Beach with the existing Limeworks Bridge on Waiinu Beach Road eventually
being removed.
