<strong>Mangatawa</strong> Drain Flood Bypass and TEM Storm<strong>water</strong> AEE<br />

Comment<br />

The health and viability of the Special Ecological Site 13 will be protected in several ways. The non-complying<br />

activity conditions in the plan relate to the removal of vegetation and <strong>earthworks</strong> in the vicinity of the site. The<br />

removal of vegetation will be avoided where practicable but some indigenous vegetation may be lost in areas<br />

required <strong>for</strong> <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> control. The over all design of the pond has preserved as much of the vegetation as<br />

possible and replanting and restoration will be undertaken to restore vegetation cover.<br />

A Construction Management Plan and Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will be produced by the contractor<br />

responsible <strong>for</strong> the construction of the wetland. These measures will reduce further the potential <strong>for</strong> the<br />

construction of the wetland to have an effect on the SES 13. Overall the effect on the SES will be no more than<br />

minor.<br />

4.3.1 Objective: Water Quality and Quantity - Storm<strong>water</strong> and Waste<strong>water</strong><br />

4.3.1.1 Policy: Storm<strong>water</strong> Management<br />

Subdivision, use and development should not adversely affect the ability of Greenbelt Zones and other<br />

substantially vegetated areas to effectively filter <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> run-off from adjacent <strong>catchment</strong> areas.<br />

4.3.1.5 Policy: Storm<strong>water</strong> Discharges in the Coastal Environment<br />

The loss of natural character of the coastal environment from the discharge of <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> across the <strong>for</strong>eshore<br />

or through dunes and the presence of <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> disposal structures in the coastal environment, should be<br />

avoided or, where avoidance is not practicable, substantially mitigated. Particular regard should be had to the<br />

visual effects of piping, culverts and physical works associated with discharge structures and activities.<br />

4.3.1.6 Policy: Storm<strong>water</strong> Discharges to the Coastal Environment<br />

Land-use activities that involve discharge of <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> to the coastal environment, wetlands and rivers<br />

should include measures to avoid, remedy, or mitigate any adverse effects of heavy metals, greases,<br />

suspended solids and other contaminants on the receiving <strong>water</strong>s, and should include measures to mitigate<br />

any adverse effects of the energy of the discharge on receiving <strong>water</strong>s.<br />

4.3.1.7 Policy: Storm<strong>water</strong> and Waste<strong>water</strong> Quality<br />

Land-use activities should not discharge any contaminant or <strong>water</strong> containing any contaminants into a<br />

<strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> or waste<strong>water</strong> system or on to land that will result in a cumulative adverse affect on the quality of<br />

the District’s soil or ground<strong>water</strong> systems.<br />

Comment<br />

This proposal seeks to increase the volume of <strong>water</strong> discharging from the Storm<strong>water</strong> Treatment Wetland into<br />

Special Ecological Site 13. These increases arise from the inclusion of the future developed Maranui <strong>catchment</strong><br />

<strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> in the wetland, the future developed industrial land owned by MPBI at Truman lane and at<br />

<strong>Mangatawa</strong> and the TEM derived <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> up to the 1% AEP level. It provides necessary treatment of the<br />

<strong>water</strong> from the Papamoa, Wairakei, <strong>Mangatawa</strong> (some) <strong>catchment</strong>s and the TEM alignment through swales and<br />
