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

Maranui <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> wetland, and the Maranui swale has significant capacity to accept the flows. In the section<br />

east of Bruce Road (chainage 9200 to 9,950) the swales will provide attenuation as they will be discharging<br />

initially to an existing drainage system which then joins the Maranui swale. West of Bruce Road discharge will<br />

be direct to the Maranui swale, as a separate TEM swale system is not necessary.<br />

The swales will be at relatively flat grades, often less than 1%. Given that the land being traversed is either<br />

peat or soft alluvial silts (using wetland swales at or near ground<strong>water</strong> level) the flat grades are not expected to<br />

be a problem in terms of ponding of <strong>water</strong>. However, the swales and associated pond at the Domain Road<br />

interchange will provide attenuation of flood peak flows from the motorway, and have been designed to meet<br />

the requirements of the TCC comprehensive <strong>catchment</strong> consent <strong>for</strong> Wairakei <strong>catchment</strong>. Some restriction of<br />

outlet flows from the swales to the receiving drains is needed to achieve a neutral effect on peak flows and<br />

fully mobilise the in-swale storage. A drawing of a typical road side swale is also provided in Appendix 12<br />

Drawing 2036-ck227 Rev D.<br />

Between chainage 5700 and chainage 7900 the TEM will drain directly to the Maranui swale and receive<br />

treatment in the enlarged TCC wetland at the end of Truman Lane (see Appendix 4 drawing no: 3932036-<br />

ck073).<br />
