Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The coastal study has been undertaken as an independent technical assessment and has been subject to input by a terrestrial ecologist.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Following agreement with WDC concerning the methodology, the study team refined the inland extent coastal environment and identified two coastal areas. This task involved using GIS and the original 2012 ECan alignment. Careful analysis of the inland extent of the coastal environment was determined on detailed aerial photographs and this was further refined through a site visit along the extent of the boundary.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Some field work was undertaken on 19 April 2018 by James Bentley to ground truth as much as possible the draft alignment of the inland extent of the coastal environment and the areas that rated at least high natural character. Some minor refining of the extent of the draft mapping took place following this field work.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Once the inland extent of the coastal environment was determined, the two originally identified coastal area extents were discussed with BML terrestrial ecologist Scott Hooson. It is important to ensure that the terrestrial areas </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>‘</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>make sense ecologically</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>’</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>as well as ensuring that they capture characteristics that are representative of the specific area. This work confirmed that the extent of the three Coastal Terrestrial Areas as mapped in the original 2012 ECan Study (and reproduced in the 2017 ECan </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;"><SPAN>‘</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;"><SPAN>Draft Terrestrial Natural Character Study</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;"><SPAN>’</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>) are accurate and appropriate.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The study team is familiar with this part of the Waimakariri District, particularly through the work involved in the recent Waimakariri Landscape Study, as well as the work completed for ECan. Ecologically, Scott Hooson is very familiar with this area, especially Saltwater Creek/ Ashley River mouth</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Following this, work on reviewing and updating the 2017 ECan </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;"><SPAN>Draft Terrestrial Natural Character Study</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>text to apply to the Waimakariri area commenced and identification of a more refined mapping occurred (i.e. the Level 4 scale). These areas were identified and delineated on a series of maps and their condition and values tabulated. Following this, identification of any areas containing Outstanding Natural Character (ONC) were considered.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>No stakeholder input has been provided into the preparation of this study, but it is understood that this study will provide a basis for consultation through the DPR process.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
