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

c) When will the activity be undertaken, and <strong>for</strong> how long will it occur:<br />

The design of the Motorway has advanced to allow NZTA to understand the potential effects of<br />

constructing the Motorway and to apply <strong>for</strong> Resource Consents related to the construction of the<br />

Motorway. The next step is to develop Specimen Design and Principal’s Requirements to be used<br />

in a contract specification to go to tender with. It is anticipated that if Resource Consents are<br />

gained and funding confirmed, tendering may occur in 2009 with a possible construction start in<br />

2010.<br />

d) Proposed works and construction methods:<br />

• See “Description of the Proposal” and “Construction Methodology” in application.<br />

e) Details of engineering design associated with proposal:<br />

(include calculations and plans if appropriate)<br />

• See project description in application<br />

f) Cross sections/long sections of any cut/full areas over <strong>2.</strong>0 metres in height:<br />

• See application and appendices<br />

2 Description of the receiving environment<br />

Our environment is made up of many components. Completing this section helps identify issues<br />

relating to the proposal. Please describe the following aspects of the environment in the immediate<br />

vicinity of the proposal and locate/identify them on a map where practical.<br />

<strong>2.</strong>1 Description of the natural environment<br />

a) Geology and soils (described in detail to at least 1 metre depth below the expected maximum<br />

excavation):<br />

• See description of the environment in application<br />

b) Upstream and Downstream Catchment characteristics:<br />

Watercourses/Coastal Marine Area (name, size, proximity to proposal, perennial or ephemeral):<br />

• See description of the environment in application<br />

Drainage patterns/size of <strong>catchment</strong>s:<br />

• See description of the environment in application<br />

c) Topography (identify sloping areas, gullies, steep erodible features):<br />

• See description of the environment in application<br />

d) Vegetation types/values:<br />

• See description of the environment in application<br />

e) Ecological features (including vegetation type and extent, the presence of fauna):<br />

• See description of the environment in application<br />
