<strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> from the Maranui <strong>catchment</strong> to the harbour at Rangataua Bay. TCC has expended<br />

considerable ef<strong>for</strong>t to improve the natural character of the wetland area and mature trees can be<br />

found here. TCC, NZTA and MPBI have agreed to work together and expand the current treatment<br />

area to serve the <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> needs of all parties. A <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> wetland was identified as the<br />

appropriate mitigation device to provide treatment <strong>for</strong> <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong>.<br />

The following principles have been agreed:<br />

• Utilise the current lease area.<br />

• Retain as much of the higher value established trees and plants as practicable.<br />

• Not to encroach on the Special Ecological Site 13 located on the south of the treatment area.<br />

• Able to receive and treat <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> from TCC’s residential areas, MPBI proposed industrial<br />

land and the TEM.<br />

• Not to encroach on the existing and proposed pipeline easements that TCC has to the west,<br />

along the property boundary.<br />

• Apply ARC TP10 design standards <strong>for</strong> the upgrading of the wetland.<br />

The following table is the <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> runoff <strong>for</strong> the <strong>water</strong> quality <strong>storm</strong> events.<br />

For the wetland upgrading the 2055 design rainfall required an area that could not be<br />

accommodated within the area currently available. For the wetland upgrading the 2005 design<br />

rainfall figures was used instead and a third of a 50% AEP 24 hour design <strong>storm</strong> event to determine<br />

the runoff. All residential roof runoff <strong>for</strong> the TCC areas was assumed to go to ground (soakage).<br />

This is in line with TCC design approach <strong>for</strong> the residential areas in the Maranui and Arataki areas.<br />

There is a potential 4.47ha area available east of the current wetland area, enclosed between MPBI<br />

proposed development, the existing wetland, and Special Ecological Site 13. We have included in<br />

our work the additional potential treatment area and attached in Appendix E are the layout and<br />

cross-section drawings <strong>for</strong> the extended treatment area.<br />

4 Conclusions<br />

There is currently an unacceptable risk of flooding across SH2 into the Papamoa urban area. Both<br />

TCC and NZTA are seeking to reduce that risk, so that:<br />

• The frequency and consequences of highway closures are reduced to acceptable levels;<br />
