This land is located south-west of the Foxton township and surrounded by the Foxton Loop, which is a former meander of the main Manawatu River channel that was bypassed with a new channel directly to the final reach into the Tasman Sea in 1943. The WWTP consists of three oxidation ponds in series, with the effluent discharging into an open drain that leads to the western arm of the Foxton Loop about 1 km upstream of its confluence with the Manawatu River and its estuary. The discharges of treated wastewater from the Foxton WWTP into the Foxton Loop require re- consenting by Horizons Regional Council (HRC) upon expiry of the current resource consents on 1 December 2014. HDC has committed to investigate changing the treated effluent discharge method prior to the expiry of the resource consents. An upgrade of the treatment system may also be required. The consenting and upgrade requirements will be influenced by understanding the existing environment among other factors such as the Manawatu River Accord which HDC and HRC are signatories to. This Accord requires all parties to avoid discharges of wastewater into the Manawatu River during periods of low flows (less than half median flow rate). The purpose of this report is to identify and summarise the existing available information about the environment surrounding the Foxton WWTP and in particular the Manawatu River and Foxton Loop. The specific types of data sought and summarised are river levels, river flow rates, tidal impacts on river levels and flow rates, river and estuary water quality, and climate data (ie. rainfall and evapotranspiration). The WWTP treatment performance and resource consent compliance data were not assessed in this report, as these aspects are assessed in other reports. The following environmental data was obtained by LEI: • River level data on an hourly basis at Teachers’ College in Palmerston North, Moutoa, and Foxton from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2013 was obtained from HRC. • River flow rate data on an hourly average basis at Teachers’ College in Palmerston North and calculated on an hourly basis at Moutoa due to tidal influences on flows at Moutoa from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2013 was obtained from HRC. • Daily total rainfall data and soil moisture deficit at Moutoa covering 1 January 1980 to 1 May 2012 was obtained from NIWA, and daily total rainfall data at Moutoa covering 2 January 2009 to 31 December 2013 was obtained from HRC. • Daily total rainfall data, soil moisture deficit, and various evapotranspiration data at Levin covering 1 January 1993 to 31 December 2013 was obtained from NIWA. • Water quality data at Whirokino about 3 km upstream of the Foxton WWTP discharge covering January 1990 to December 2013 and data for Foxton Loop Wharf covering July 2000 to June 2008 and for Foxton Wharf (adjacent to Manawatu Marine Boating Club on Hartley Street, Foxton Beach) for January 2010 to June 2014 was obtained from Aquanet and HRC. • Water quality data for the Foxton WWTP effluent and within Foxton Loop 200 m upstream and downstream of the Foxton WWTP discharge covering November 2009 to December 2013 was obtained from Beca on behalf of HDC. The monitoring frequency was weekly during summer months (November to March) and monthly during the remainder of each year. | Horowhenua District Council – Summary of Existing Environmental Data for Foxton WWTP |P a g e | 1 | This environmental data was supplemented by a report by Cawthron Institute that assessed the assimilative capacity of the Manawatu Estuary for contaminant loads. The river level data was able to be used by LEI to assess the nature of the tidal cycle occurring during most of the sampling times at Whirokino and within the Foxton Loop between 1 January 2008 and July 2012. The river flow data was able to be used to assess whether the Manawatu River was in flood or at very low flows during each of the sampling times at Whirokino and within the Foxton Loop between 1 January 2008 and July 2012. A very small number of samples were collected on the same day since 2009 by HRC at Whirokino and by HDC in the Foxton Loop which allowed an assessment of the degree of connection between the water quality of the main Manawatu River, its estuary, and Foxton Loop. A larger number of samples were collected on the same day by HRC at Whirokino and at Foxton Loop Wharf on Harbour Street, Foxton, during 2000-08. A comparison of these datasets showed no relationship between the water quality of the two sites. A number of Foxton WWTP effluent samples were collected at times similar to the Foxton Loop samples, and these were analysed for a range of parameters ranging from only E. coli to a total of eight parameters. Comparisons of the effluent results with the Foxton Loop results were possible on these occasions to determine whether the Foxton WWTP effluent was the likely cause of the water quality changes in the Foxton Loop and the potential maximum extent of any changes that could be attributed to the effluent discharge. Overall, the data indicated that the Manawatu River water quality within the estuary and Foxton Loop is primarily influenced by upstream sources, flooding, and tidal restrictions on river flow rates through the estuary into the Tasman Sea. The water quality within Foxton Loop appeared to be independent of the water quality measured at Whirokino, and this indicated that the Foxton Loop is likely to be subjected to other sources of contaminants,

  • Manawatu-Whanganui Regional Sports Facility Plan Is to Provide a High Level Strategic Framework for Sport and Recreation Facility Planning Across the Region (Map 1)
    MANAWATU - WHANGANUI REGIONAL SPORT FACILITY PLAN REFERENCE REPORT MARCH 2018 Foreword – Sport New Zealand Sport New Zealand aims to get more young people and adults into sport and active recreation and produce more winners on the worlds sporting stage. It does this through its strategic approach for Community Sport and High Performance Sport outcomes. Spaces, places, and facilities for sport is one of five strategic priorities in the Community Sport Strategy with a goal to develop and sustain a world leading community sport system where the need of the participant and athlete is the focus. With leadership from the network of Regional Sports Trusts, Sport NZ is actively supporting better decision making and investment for future sporting spaces and places through a collaborative regional approach with local and regional government, education, Iwi, funders, national and regional sports organisations. The drivers for taking a regional approach to facility planning can be one or more of the following: • The desire of funders to invest wisely in identified priority projects that will make the most impact • An ageing network of facilities needing refurbishment, re-purposing, replacement or removal • Changing demographics within a community, such as an increase in the population. • Changing participation trends nationally and within a region requiring new types of facilities, or a new use of an existing facility • Increasing expectations of users and user groups • A growing acknowledgement that there is a hierarchy of facilities – regional, sub-regional and local – and that regional collaboration is the only fair and reasonable way to build and manage regional and sub-regional facilities.

[email protected] Institute of Geological & Nuclear Sciences, PO Box 30-368 Lower Hutt, NZ 1&6./AL'Ime [email protected] A#jPlibll+A '\ R Prepared for a EQC Research Foundation Project 97/263 April, 2002 1.0 TECHNICAL ABSTRACT The Ohariu fault, discovered about 100 years ago, extends northeastward from o ffshore o f the Wellington south coast near Tongue Point through Porirua towards Paraparaumu. It has long been thought that the Ohariu fault "dies out" to the north in the Waikanae/Otaki area as a series of splays. However, in 1996 we discovered that the pronounced, 60 km long, NNE- to NE-trending topographic lineation that runs just inland of, and parallel to, the western flank of the northern portion of the Tararua Range between Otaki and Palmerston North is an active, right-lateral strike-slip fault. We name this newly discovered fault the Northern Ohariu fault because it appears to be the northern, along-strike, continuation of the Ohariu fault. Collectively the Ohariu and Northern Ohariu faults define a major active strike-slip fault that has a total length in excess of 130 km. Offset geomorphic features such as alluvial terrace risers and valley margins, and estimated ages based on soil and loess stratigraphy are used to constrain the timing, amount, and rate of movement on the fault.

  • What Foxton's Moa-Hunter Site Can Tell
    Newsletter of Historic Places Manawatu—Horowhenua Number 16 December 2020 What Foxton’s moa-hunter site can tell us? In 1963 a local farmer near Foxton was surprised to find a massive shell midden on his property. What turned out to be an early Maori ‘moa-hunter’ settlement site was excavated over the next ten years by a team of archaeologists including Dr Bruce McFadgen. Bruce spoke to a public meeting in Foxton on Sunday 6th December about his findings. And yes, now that he’s retired some 55 years later, he hopes to finally ‘write the site up’ in an upcoming book. The site was in the sand dunes north of Foxton Beach, probably close to the former Manawatu River course, and dates to the 1300s and 1400s AD. The 30 foot long midden contained moa bones, a wide variety of birds, fish, cock- les, mud snails and tuatua. The tiny land snails found indicate that the site was a dry forest area although it is now covered with peat wetland. Structures included a house, cook house and windbreak against those coastal winds. The stone artefacts – argillite from Nelson, chert from Wairarapa, obsidian from the Bay of Plenty , even nephrite from the deep south – show that even then there was trading the length of New Zealand. More importantly than the site’s contents, Dr McFadgen commented it reveals the effect of environmental change. Coastal subsidence, possibly even an earthquake, dropped the site as much as two metres causing it to be flooded and turned into wetland. Nationwide, small early Maori settlements moved from the coast to pa and other settlements inland.
