Page 5 Catchment Operations Committee 14 December 2016 Report No. 16-240 5 Decision Required TUATENUI RIVER SCHEME AUDIT (PRD 05 30) Item 1. PURPOSE 1.1. The purpose of this item is to report the findings of the Tutaenui Scheme Audit and to seek the Committee’s approval for the release of the report to scheme stakeholders. 2. RECOMMENDATION That the Committee recommends that Council: a. receives the information contained in Report No. 16-240. b. approves the release of the Audit report to scheme stakeholders for comment. 3. FINANCIAL IMPACT 3.1. Budget provision for the work involved in undertaking the Scheme Audit was scheduled for 2015-16 and some costs were carried-over to the 2016-17 Annual Plan (AP). The Audit report does contain recommendations that have financial implications although some (dam safety) are already budgeted for in the draft 2017-18 AP. Others generally require further investigation and these will be added to the overall investigations programme. It is not intended to make any other specific provision ahead of the considerations required as part of the update to the Long-Term Plan (LTP). 4. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 4.1. Once the draft report is received by Council, a synopsis of the report will be presented to the Scheme Liaison Committee for feedback, followed by referring the findings to the wider stakeholder group by way of a newsletter. 5. SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS RISK IMPACT 5.1. There are no significant business risk matters inherent in the adoption of recommendations contained in this report. 6. BACKGROUND 6.1. The Tutaenui Scheme was established by the Rangitikei Catchment Board in 1976 with support of the Marton Borough Council, Rangitikei District Council and the Bulls County Council. 6.2. The scheme was established following years of frustrating attempts to control flooding and manage the stream channels within the catchment. The scheme established 15 detention dams and undertook a programme of capital works on the major stream channels to control flooding and clear channel congestion. Three dams in the small catchments to the west of Marton that had been constructed by the Marton Borough Council in 1962-63 became scheme assets in 1976. Tuatenui River Scheme Audit (PRD 05 30) Page 7 Catchment Operations Committee 14 December 2016 6.3. The primary objective of the scheme is to protect the townships’ of Bulls and Marton and 5 surrounding rural land from flooding. The scheme is located on the catchment of the Tutaenui Stream, which has its headwaters to the north of Marton. The catchment is 13,600 ha in size and generally lies in a north-south direction, rising to 300 m in its Item Item headwaters. The entire catchment area has been developed for farming. 6.4. The stream joins the Rangitikei River 3.5 km downstream of the SH 1 Bridge. The scheme manages 26.6 km of the 28.7 km of the main Tutaenui Stream channel (commencing 2.1 km upstream of Calico Line) along with the Marton West Drain and 3.5 km of the Folley and Panui Streams, which flow through the urban areas of Marton. The Henrietti Drain at Bulls is also managed by the scheme and upstream of SH 3, to the west of Bulls, a floodway was constructed as part of the scheme. Its role is to guide floodwater breakouts above the highway back to the stream some 500 m downstream of the highway. Extensive drainage works have also been carried out on the outskirts of Bulls to divert drainage water away from the urban area. 6.5. The purpose of the dams has been to reduce the size of the flood flows in the Tutaenui Stream and in some of the smaller side streams within the Marton urban area, and thus reduce the extent of flooding from these streams. The scheme was designed to manage the flows during a 20-year rainfall event and thus limit the flooding during such an event. 6.6. Since the substantial capital works were completed in 1985, a relatively low level of maintenance activity has been undertaken annually. It largely involves regular inspection and maintenance of detention dam flow control structures, clearance of obstructions to flow in the Tutaenui Stream channel, and chemical or mechanical maintenance of scheme drains. 6.7. The 1989 Local Government reform resulted in the Rangitikei-Wanganui Catchment Board being abolished and its functions being taken over by the Manawatu-Wanganui Regional Council (Horizons). Responsibility for the management of the Tutaenui Flood Control Scheme passed to the Regional Council. 6.8. The scheme has a high level of community support, as evidenced by the attendance of ratepayers at meetings, and the active participation of a Scheme Liaison Committee consisting of nine ratepayer representatives. 6.9. In April 2006, a full Scheme Review was completed by an external consultant (referred to as the 2006 Review). The 2006 Review made several recommendations on stream channel maintenance and dam management. The latter recommendations were largely based on those contained in an earlier engineering consultants assessment made in 1997. 6.10. Over the period 19 to 21 June 2015 the Tutaenui Stream experienced a major flood event, measured at 70 cumecs at the Hammond Street gauge in Marton. The peak flow was 70 cumecs at the Tutaenui at Hammond Street gauge. This was a 1.7% AEP (1 in 60 year flood). 6.11. There were significant overflows from the Tutaenui Stream and tributaries.

The one- way bridge was officially opened by Lord Cobham, then New Zealand’s Governor-General, on 21 June 1958 with the unveiling of a plaque commemorating the event. At the time, construction was not quite complete – with rolled steel anchor rods from Australia having been delayed for seven months by industrial problems. Thus on the big day, Lord Cobham declared the bridge both officially opened and temporarily closed!1 The official opening of this bridge was especially significant to the Mangamahu community. A grand ball had been held the previous night in the woolshed at Okirae Station, complete with 30 truckloads of greenery used for decoration - and also the Governor-General.

INTRODUCTION The age of many mid-late Quaternary surfaces in the area between Wanganui and Palmerston North has been poorly known because: 1. The marine terraces are not as well defined as they are west of Wanganui (Pillans, 1990). 2. The wave cut surfaces are difficult to locate, and the underlying sediments are sand dominated and softer. 3. The loess cover on marine and river terraces is of the Pallic Soil facies, i.e. pale grey and mottled, making paleosols difficult to see in the poorly drained loess.
