1. Purpose of Report Te
Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide the Christchurch West
Melton Water Management Zone Committee with an overview of the Soil
Conservation and Revegetation Programme (SCAR) in North Canterbury so that the
Committee has a greater understanding of what a soil conservation programme
like this would involve, if they wish to continue advocating for something
similar to come to the Port Hills (and Banks Penisula ecological region).
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Christchurch
West Melton Water Management Zone Committee:
1. Receive the information in the Soil
Conservation and Revegetation Programme Report
3. Report Te Pūrongo
3.1 Sam
Thompson, Andrew Turnbull and Iana Stoliarova will provide an overview of the
Soil Conservation and Revegetation Programme. They work at Environment
Canterbury in the Kaikoura/Hurunui-Waiau Zone Delivery Team. Sam and Andrew are
Land Management & Biodiversity Advisors. Iana is a Project Delivery
Officer.
3.2 Landowners
in North Canterbury can apply for funding to help combat hillside erosion
through the Soil Conservation and Revegetation Programme (SCAR). This programme
has funding support from Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) and Environment
Canterbury. It is a four-year programme (2019-2023) that aims to reduce erosion
and sediment loss and stabilise damaged land in North Canterbury’s
hill-country.
4. Background
Committee interest in this programme
4.1 Both
Christchurch West Melton and Banks Peninsula Zone Committees and Whaka-Ora
Healthy Harbour have expressed an interest in advocating for a similar soil
conservation programme to become available for the Banks Peninsula ecological
region. The Banks Peninsula ecological region includes the Port Hills on both
sides and the rest of Banks Peninsula as this area all has similar erosion
prone soils – loess soils overlaying volcanic soils and rock.
4.2 Advocating
for a soil conservation programme was one of the initiatives identified at the
erosion and sediment control workshop held on 27 April 2023, jointly held by
Christchurch West Melton and Banks Peninsula Zone Committees, together with
Whaka-Ora Healthy Harbour.
4.3 It
is also an action in the Committee’s action plan, along with the action
plan of Banks Peninsula Zone Committee.
4.4 Action
in current Christchurch West Melton Zone Committee Action Plan:
· Advocate to councils
for improved erosion and sediment control. Progress initiatives
collaboratively, that the Committee has jointly identified with Banks Peninsula
Zone Committee and Whaka-Ora Healthy Harbour. These initiatives include:
· documenting
and sharing practical knowledge;
· identifying
sources of erosion and finding solutions;
· exploring opportunities
for a soil conservation programme on Banks Peninsula;
· and
advocating for the Canterbury ESC Toolbox to include agriculture and forestry
4.5 Action
in current Banks Peninsula Zone Committee Action Plan:
· We will advocate for
and be engaged in: The collaborative development and funding of a soil
conservation programme.
4.6 Banks
Peninsula Zone Committee also included the following in their early LTP input
to Environment Canterbury and Christchurch City Council (28 September 2023):
· Invest in a Banks
Peninsula wide soil conservation programme.
· Rationale: our farming
community gets very little support or advice to help them understand and
implement techniques to avoid erosion and very little advice and support about
what to do once they have erosion on their properties. Erosion has impacts on farm
economics as well as causing significant damage to bush remnants, recreation
tracks and roads. Sediment has significant impact on the health of our
waterways. Investing in soil conservation will help the Banks Peninsula
landscape be more resilient to the impacts of climate change.
Background to Soil Conservation and
Revegetation Programme
4.7 The
programme aims to:
§ Retain productive soils;
§ Reduce sediment washed into waterways
through erosion;
§ Provide benefits to water quality,
biodiversity and mahinga kai;
§ Build on-farm resilience to climatic
effects.
4.8 Farmers
work alongside land management advisors to identify areas of their properties
that are erosion prone. They then work together to find the best way to
mitigate this erosion. Land management advisors work with farmers on funding
applications associated with the programme; prioritising land for treatment;
and developing erosion control plans for their property.
4.9 The
programme is co-funded by Environment Canterbury and the Ministry of
Primary Industries Hill Country Erosion Fund, and the goal is to reach as many
eligible landowners as possible.
4.10 Funding
is targeted at:
· Space planting of
poplars.
· Fencing off areas
from stock.
· Catchment-scale
mapping and on-farm Land Use Capability (LUC) maps to support farm environment
planning.
· Building staff and
catchment group capacity to consult on soil conservation and farm plans.
· Expanding our
existing nursery (Baynons Nursery) to provide greater numbers of poplars and
willows across the region.
4.11 The
programme has been operating since 2019. Funding is currently available for
landowners in the Kaikōura, Hurunui, and Waimakariri districts.

Overview of Loess soil, erosion, and
impact of sediment on waterways
4.14 Loess
soil was deposited on Banks Peninsula ecological region by wind blowing fine
material from the erosion of the Southern Alps across to Banks Peninsula. The loess
forms deep layers in places and is easily distinguished from volcanic soils by
its paler colour. Strong winds, rain and the removal of native forest from
Banks Peninsula ecological region have caused erosion of both soil types. Loess
is particularly prone to erosion when native forest cover is removed. Once
loess is in waterways it is very slow to settle out, so it makes the water have
low clarity (hard to see through) for a long time.
4.15 It
affects water quality, habitat for freshwater and marine life and recreational
values. It can suffocate fish if it clogs their gills, prevents fish from
seeing their food, and makes our rivers look dirty.
4.16 To

sediment a problem for our streams and rivers https://www.ecan.govt.nz/your-region/your-environment/water/stormwater/protect-our-waterways/
From report prepared for Environment
Canterbury: Best practice erosion and sediment control measures for the rural
landscape of the Port Hills – a literature review, 2018, by Ian Lynn,
Manaaki Whenua.
Erosion and sedimentation has been
identified as an issue in the Banks Peninsula region,
and more recently in the
Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour Catchment Management Plan https://healthyharbour.org.nz/
In a national context, erosion rates on
Banks Peninsula are moderate, but significant, as a
consequence of the dominance of steep
slopes, erodible regoliths and soils, generally
moderate rainfall, and the frequency of
high-intensity rainstorms. Recent and extensive
deforestation and the introduction of
grazing animals have significantly increased erosion
rates.
Lake core sedimentation rate data from
Te Roro o Wairewa show a four-fold increase from 0.88 mm∙yr -1 pre-1840
to 3.7 mm∙yr -1 as a result of land clearance and ensuing pastoral
farming (Woodward & Shulmeister 2005).
Similarly, cores from the Head of the
Bay and Charteris Bay indicate low net sediment accumulation rates of 0.35 to
0.8 mm∙yr -1 pre AD 1800, increasing to between 2 and 8.4 mm∙yr -1
between AD 1800 and 1900 (Goff 2005).
The recent 2010/2011 Canterbury
Earthquake Sequence is also likely to have had a significant influence on
erosion rates and sediment yields as a consequence of the considerable increase
in rockfall, landslide and other forms of mass movement initiated by the
earthquakes (Hancox & Perrin 2011), see
https://www.ccc.govt.nz/environment/land/slope-stability/porthillsgnsreports/.

1. Purpose of Report Te
Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide the Christchurch West
Melton Water Management Zone Committee with an overview of the winners of the
Committee’s Stormwater Superhero Awards 2023.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Christchurch
West Melton Water Management Zone Committee:
1. Receive the information in the CWM Stormwater
Superhero Awards Report.
3. Report Te Pūrongo
3.1 At
the Zone Committee 26 October workshop, the Stormwater Superhero Awards
sub-group of the Committee shared information with the rest of the Committee
about the businesses that they (and other panel members) selected to give a
Stormwater Superhero Award during 2023.
3.2 The
Committee ran a Stormwater Superhero Awards 2023 Ceremony with support from
Christchurch City Council and Environment Canterbury on Wednesday 8 November
2023 at the function room at the Christchurch City Council. This was opened by
the Mayor of Christchurch. The guest speaker was Peter Christensen who is the
Chair of Water New Zealand’s Stormwater Group. The Master of Ceremonies
was the Chairperson of the Zone Committee. The following businesses were given
awards for the following reasons:
· Cleanco Truck Wash - Excellent containment of contaminated water and separation of
liquid and solid chemicals and wastes to avoid contaminating the stormwater
network at the Hornby truck washing facility.
· Oji Fibre Solutions
(NZ) Ltd - Excellent implementation of their
environmental management system that avoids contamination of stormwater leaving
the Hornby manufacturing facility.
· Resource Recycling
Technologies (NZ) - Excellence in collaborating and
adapting to best practice for treating contaminated stormwater at the Woolston
metal recycling facility.
· IAG NZ Repairhub Ltd - Excellent use and recycling of stormwater and treatment at the
carwash in the Hornby car repair facility.
· Redmund Spur Ltd - Excellence in collaboration, teamwork, and commitment to managing
the source of contaminants entering the stormwater network on an urban land
development in the Port Hills.
4. Background
4.1 The
Committee has run Stormwater Superhero Awards for several years and every year
the Committee makes some changes based on how the previous year has gone and
who is involved in leading this from the Committee. The Committee members
involved in 2023 were Brynlea Stocks, Annabelle Hasselman, Mike Patchett and
Cailin Richardson-Hall.
4.2 In
2023 the awards were to celebrate businesses that are being a Stormwater
Superhero – doing their best to keep chemicals and contaminants out of
the drain, rivers, and sea. This year a second category was added, so as well
as seeking entries from industrial sites the Committee also sought entries from
businesses involved in land development and construction as these would likely
be involved with erosion and sediment control.
4.3 The
Awards were promoted via various method such as flyers delivered by committee
members, email, and social media. Entries closed on 13 September 2023.
4.4 Businesses
self-nominate by filling in an online entry form.
4.5 A
panel comprising Zone Committee members, CCC and ECan staff visited all of the
entrants in mid October to conduct a site visit. Panel members included
Annabelle Hasselman (Chair), Mike Patchett (Deputy Chair), Maxine van den Berg
(ECan) and Joseph Harrison (CCC). They met later to discuss and select which
entrants would receive an award and why. Five of the six entrants were selected
to receive awards.
4.6 In
2022 the committee gave two Christchurch businesses Stormwater Superhero Awards
– Tunnel Wash and Christchurch Ready Mix Concrete.
4.7 The criteria the panel used to evaluate industrial sites were:
· Previous consent and
compliance history
· Good management
practices (based General Stormwater Good Management Practices (GMPs) for
Industrial Sites Courtesy of Christchurch City Council) under the following
topics: materials shipping and receiving; Materials handling, processing, and
storage – general; Materials handling, processing, and storage –
solids; Materials handling, processing, and storage – liquids; Vehicle
and equipment maintenance and storage; Painting and sanding; Cleaning and
washdown; Waste management and disposal; Building and grounds maintenance;
Erosion from stockpiles, soils, and roads; Illicit stormwater discharge; and
Inspection and training.
4.8 The criteria the panel used to evaluate land development and
construction sites were:
· Previous consent and
compliance history
· Erosion and sediment
control plan under the following topics: Minimise disturbance; construction in
stages; protect slopes; protect waterways; stabilise exposed areas quickly;
consider the weather; and mix and match your ESC tools.
