Mangaoraka Stream at
Corbett Road and Punehu Stream at SH45). Significant deteriorations in black disc clarity
were recorded at three sites, two of which reflected historical erosion events in the
headwaters.
The most improvement in long term water quality has been illustrated in the Waingongoro
River at SH 45, with significantly improving trends in DRP and total phosphorus, and with
reduction in nitrate and total nitrogen by slightly less than the rate defined as significant.
This improvement
few non-members came and we
anticipate these numbers will increase
now the events have been added to the
TRC calendar of garden events sent out
with the rates demands. Please
encourage friends and families to come
along on these walks.
Our next event is scheduled for Sunday

Collections Officer, taking a walk

attending are bound to be entertained

Industry and communities have
invested millions of dollars to eliminate

impact of discharges to fresh water.
The Taranaki Regional Council’s
comprehensive monitoring reveals a
consistently high rate of compliance
with resource consent requirements.
The bar is constantly being raised and this
work will only continue. Farmers are on
track to have the ring plain’s rivers and
discharges of
contaminants to air, or effects, and any
necessary modification to that plan
b) Adverse effects on air quality
c) Imposition of limits on or relating to discharge or
ambient concentrations of contaminants, or on
or relating to mass discharge rates
d) Best practicable option to prevent or minimise
any adverse effects on the environment and on
such parts of the electricity network that lie
within the boundary of the premises
