However, re; N, Phos, e.coli - letter sent to businesses in Ruapehu Street area, and levels consequently dropped. TDC still unsure of specifics of the issue (over one year). Generally a lot of e.coli in stormwater system after rain. Q why? Denis - yes animal sources, all sorts of things Lake Terrace Rebuild & Services Failure and Wastewater Spill Incident - Key events (aerial photos shown): 2 July - water main burst, hole developed on Lake Terrace. Downers people called in. Fluctuating water pressure including in Nukuhau. Safety first issue for first responders - area coned off. Identified five valves. Turned off in sequence within forty minutes. Wastewater main failed as footpath collapsed onto it - wastewater spilled directly into lake. Denis largely involved in rebuild. Pics shown including; pumice plume from slip, water pipe, pumps for WW diverted across site from manhole to manhole. It took 3 weeks until sewer line re-established. Q - Large pumps? Denis - pumps from Waihi (came with their own generators) A south westerly front came through which dispersed pumice accumulated on foreshore and nearshore waters. Diagram of systems super-imposed over aerial shot showing position of water main installed in 1999 and relocation of water and sewer lines. Sewer line relocated - 3 metres deep. Trench shields utilised. Man-holes reinforced for earthquake strengthening. Lakes & Waterways minutes: 15.08.19 2 Kevin - Consultant lan Gray (in attendance) helped with design choices for manholes.

Q - Subsidence seen in photo - some slope instability? Denis - area of well compacted pumice, however historic terracing and steps. Could be some subsidence in surface area but not significant. Q- Is it possible that groundwater was washing through this area? Comment: Paul- Taupo vulnerable to tomo formation. Kevin -full review re; pipe failure underway so don't want to second guess at this stage. Crown Road subsidence; (pics shown) A couple of days after the WWT washout. Crown Road situation unfolded. Centre of subsidence bowl from steam extraction. Contact have been monitoring site for a number of years - dropping 100 ml per yr consistently. Curb and channel was replaced by TDC. After incidence in July - Contact did some further monitoring. Earth parting caused fissure due to uneven pressure. House on corner of Crown Road and Invergarry owned by Contact - residents evacuated and will be demolished. Water main burst - sewer and stormwater lines affected but held - however, had to be replaced. Stormwater bund on Tauhara side. Crack reasonably long as seen in photographs - extends into Crown Park. A number of these fissures around town including near AC Baths. Discussion: Comment: John Williamson - cost picked up by Contact. Bernhard - regarding complex and challenging situation with WW spill - thanks to TDC staff for what they have achieved in reasonably short time. Re; escarpment - any ongoing risk to public? Denis - yes, possibly and risk assessment being done. Road should be re-opened first week September. Allan - also supports TDC. 1 Theo - wastewater pipe along Lake Tee a risk? Denis - there are other vulnerable areas e.g. Main Beach pump station. Jane - last TDC report said cameras were monitoring WW system. Kevin - yes CCTV used to troubleshoot issues in system - 'riveting'. Debs - subsidence areas being checked? Denis - monitored by Contact for WRC. 4. STATUTORY PROCESSES (as per attachment to agendas) Jane reported that; LWAG oral submission to TDC's Freshwater Strategy postponed due to WW spill event. Taupo residents urged to conserve water which was successful in a 'crisis'. LWAG submission looks at incentives (other than metering water which is not currently proposed) could reduce potable water usage per household - currently at a high rate. Oral sub rescheduled for

We have also consulted with owners of Rangatira A6B2, who also own underlying land subject to the proposal. o We will update the Plan Change Application and get a copy of it to him prior to lodging with Council. Te Arawa River Iwi Trust (TARIT) • Letter of Comment received, dated 13 July 2020. • Concerns restricted to potential adverse effect the proposal might have on the added pressure the additional Nukuhau population might have on wastewater infrastructure, particularly the pipe over the Waikato River. TARIT knows this is an issue for TDC to resolve, not the Nukuhau Structure Plan, and TARIT therefore ‘supports the direction of the Nukuhau Plan Change’.

  • Target Taupo
    TARGET TAUPO A Newsletter for Hunters and Anglers in the Tongariro/Taupo Conservancy JULY 1997, ISSUE 25 • Department of Consen-ation Te Papa Atau•/:Jai ECNZe h lps out on the Tokaanu Srream weed clean up The Tokaanu stream, an important spawning stream to the Taupo fishery received a major clean up thanks to the help and effort from ECNZ and the Taupo District Council. For over five years Tokaanu residents have been concerned at higher than normal stream levels. These have caused serious worries concerning high water tables, drainage and septic tank problems. Weed was restricting discharge of the stream co the lake, creating a backwater effect upstream, which caused the high water levels. The recent weed clearance project - a joint initiative between ECNZ and the Taupo District Council - using a weed harvester has removed much of the problem, improving the water flow and reducing the risk of flooding of the adjacent properties. The project, between the lake edge and SH41 bridge, has dramatically changed levels in the stream which have dropped by 30mm at the Domain Bridge, above the hoc pools co 550mm in the lower reaches. The Taupo District Council contributed the labour, a loader and a truck, while ECNZ undertook consultation with iwi, the local community and the Department of Conservation, Turangi. ECNZ project manager, Tracey Hickman, said ECNZ was not responsible for weed control, but it had agreed co assist the removal of weed as a demonstration of the corporation's commitment co the community. t>1Ecnz TARGET TAUPO A newsletter

  • Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING
    6. ‘At Every Bend a Chief, At Every Bend a Chief, Waikato of One Hundred Chiefs’: Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING Introduction At 425 kilometres, the Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand, and a vital resource for the country (McCan 1990: 33–5). Officially beginning at Nukuhau near Taupo township, the river is fed by Lake Taupo and a number of smaller rivers and streams throughout its course. Running swiftly in a northwesterly direction, the river passes through many urban, forested and rural areas. Over the past 90 years, the Waikato River has been adversely impacted by dams built for hydro-electricity generation, by runoff and fertilisers associated with farming and forestry, and by the waste waters of several major industries and urban centres. At Huntly, north of Taupiri (see Figure 6.1), the river’s waters are further sullied when they are warmed during thermal electricity generation processes. For Māori, another major desecration of the Waikato River occurs when its waters are diverted and mixed with waters from other sources, so that they can be drunk by people living in Auckland. 137 Island Rivers Figure 6.1 A socio-political map of the Waikato River and catchment. Source: Created by Peter Quin, University of Auckland. As the Waikato River is an important natural resource, it has a long history of people making claims to it, including Treaty of Waitangi1 claims by Māori for guardianship recognition and management and property rights.2 This process of claiming has culminated in a number of tribes 1 The Treaty of Waitangi was signed by the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs in 1840.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. He Mahi Whakamanakore: Destruction of Indigenous Heritage Sites at Otuparae. A Case Study of the Otuparae Headland Development A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Resource and Environmental Planning Massey University, Manawatu Hemopereki Hoani Simon Ngati Tuwharetoa, Te Arawa Whanui, Ngati Manawa, Tuhoe, Waikato, Ngati Maru 2011 i Abstract This thesis examines indigenous cultural heritage site destruction in Aotearoa, New Zealand. In particular, it examines what took place within a planning system to approve the destruction of the heritage site at Otuparae, near Taupo. This thesis seeks to identify what contributed to the decision to grant approval to developers without consultation with the local hapu, Ngati Rauhoto. The research is framed in a form of Kaupapa Maori Research (KMR) called whakawhanaungatanga. Analysis of critical ethnography, key actor interviews, participant observation, field notes in research journals, videos, and documents took place to gather data. A review of the colonial history of Ngati Tuwharetoa revealed that over time the Crown usurped the mana, power and sovereignty of Tuwharetoa. In doing so, the Crown left Tuwharetoa politically, socially, economically and culturally weak, forcing Tuwharetoa to enter into Crown-controlled and created legal and political frameworks. Additionally, the Crown instituted a governance model based on colonial thinking. This thesis contributes to the body of knowledge about the need to incorporate different worldviews into planning to achieve sustainable development.
