also undertaken by the Council, from a stormwater drain located directly above the weir on the Waingongoro River, to ensure any stormwater discharged meets consent requirements.

The results of surface water sampling undertaken by the Council are included in Table 4 and Table 5 and are presented against results undertaken during the previous reporting period
Hydrocarbon sheens were not observed within the skimmer pits or in puddles on any of the sites. The skimmer pits were all in good order with goose neck pipes functioning as required. The turbidity of the pits varied from clear to slightly turbid (following heavy rainfall the two days before). The majority of the discharges were onto land before flowing to surface water. Some pits were unlined and empty. No effects were noted in the surrounding vegetation (such as burnt patches or dead grass) or within
in discrete areas, such as near river mouths and in close proximity to wastewater discharges. At river mouths, water quality can be reduced as a result of contaminants from land use and development (e.g. farming, earthworks, urban centres, industrial sites) entering waterways, particularly during or following heavy rainfall events. Accidental discharges of largely untreated wastewater can have temporary adverse effects on coastal water quality. Wastewater discharges from large population
