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

From chainage 7900 to 9550, within Maranui <strong>catchment</strong> and east of Bruce Road, the discharge will be to a<br />

farm drainage system that subsequently discharges to the Maranui swale. This <strong>water</strong> will also receive<br />

treatment in the <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> treatment wetland. The use of swales <strong>for</strong> initial conveyance will also provide some<br />

treatment be<strong>for</strong>e discharge to the farm drains.<br />

Within the Wairakei <strong>catchment</strong>, swales will be used <strong>for</strong> treatment to remove contaminants, be<strong>for</strong>e discharge to<br />

the farm drainage system. This is because there is no <strong>for</strong>mal treatment provided in the TCC drainage system<br />

downstream of this discharge. Swales will improve the <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> quality by reducing contaminant loadings in<br />

the <strong>water</strong>. Low velocity in the swales will facilitate the settling of sediments and the vegetative growth will trap<br />

additional suspended sediment. The swales in this section will be planted with wetland species, as they will be<br />

set at the drainage system level in peat soils, and will normally be wet.<br />

The swales will be an effective <strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> treatment measure and will provide treatment <strong>for</strong> the TEM<br />

<strong>storm</strong><strong>water</strong> runoff in accordance with ARC TP10. This level means that the treatment in the swales will reach<br />

around 75-80% removal rate if the ARC standards are applied.<br />

The contaminant loads from the footprint of that part of the TEM project <strong>for</strong> which consent is being sought are<br />

summarised in the following table.<br />
