Introduction The Waitohu Stream, flowing from the Tararua Ranges to the Tasman Sea just north of Otaki (Figure 1), is a dynamic stream with a history of flooding and erosion problems. It has a catchment of 54km2 and the steepest average slope of the Kapiti Coast rivers (WRC, 1994). Under the mandate of the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Act 1941, erosion and flood mitigation work has been undertaken in the Waitohu Stream by the Flood Protection Group of Greater Wellington (the Wellington Regional Council) and its predecessor authorities (most notably, the Manawatu Catchment Board prior to 1989) since the inception of the Otaki Scheme in 1955.

The investigation targeted the impacts on groundwater quality, particularly nutrient concentrations, of intensive farming and horticultural development as well as the expansion of properties at Te Horo Beach serviced by on-site wastewater treatment systems. Groundwater samples from 31 bores were tested for dissolved nutrients and faecal indicator bacteria. Results were compared against the Drinking Water Standard for New Zealand (DWSNZ 2005) maximum acceptable values (MAV) and guidelines. The investigation found that nitrate-nitrogen contamination of groundwater exists to various degrees in the area studied. The most widespread contamination is present in unconfined shallow groundwater in the Hautere groundwater zone, with isolated areas of contamination identified in the unconfined aquifer of the Waitohu groundwater zone. For example, the highest individual nitrate-nitrogen concentration (11 mg/L) was recorded in a bore in the Waitohu groundwater zone. A number of bores recorded nitrate-nitrogen concentrations of at least half the MAV (11.3 mg/L). The investigation also found: • Dissolved reactive phosphorus concentrations were generally low, with samples from just seven bores having concentrations above 0.1 mg/L.

Client Report 2008-03 March, 2008 2 Executive Summary While the Kapiti Coast has been subject to open coast erosion assessments in the past, these have essentially been regional assessments in that they covered large areas at a relatively low level of detail. Given the extent of residential development along the coast and the potential for future development, together with the dire consequence of property damage and loss associated with erosion plus the uncertainties associated with climate change, the Kapiti Coast District Council (KCDC) commissioned a more detailed (localized) assessment. In particular the erosion hazard line methodology should, be robust and defendable, use industry best practices, use a time-span of at least 50 yrs, and incorporate all available information. In addition, where the coast is protected by structures or management regimes, an erosion assessment for the simulated natural coast was also required.
