Appendix 2: Method and Outcomes of Wetland Delineation Boffa Miskell Ltd | Waihi North Project: Freshwater Ecological Assessment | Transect three: Prevalence index scores T3P1 T3P2 T3P3 T3P4 1.92 2.86 2.90 3.1 Soil profile was not collected at P1 due to high water table. Soil profile was taken on the other side of the watercourse We consider that the Mataura wetland forms a natural wetland on the lower Mataura Stream Terrace. The overall condition of the wetland features is poor, with heavy pugging and a predominance of exotic vegetation. The wetland appears to be fed by springs and a defined channel forms at the lower end of the delineation, where the wetland is likely to be influenced by a higher water table and possible floodplain from Mataura Stream. In addition, the wetland has been pugged and widened by stock over time.
