odour surveys and four surface water samples collected for physicochemical analysis.
The water samples from the unnamed tributary of the Waiongana Stream indicated that the Company were
in compliance with consent defined conditions on the four occasions they were collected. It is noted that the
stormwater facility discharge to surface water, only occurs during significant rainfall events.
The Company continues to be proactive in their response to objectionable odour

for refurbishment. The non-compliant discharge volumes were
attributed to recurrent periods of high rainfall which first occurred in the 2016-2017 monitoring period. Due
to this, all enforcement actions were outlined in the previous monitoring report. In summary, following two
14 day letters and a number of stakeholder meetings, STDC were required to provide a report on inflow and
infiltration and undertake additional shellfish monitoring. Further investigations found that the discharges

1.1.3 Meteorology
Taranaki’s climate is determined by its westerly position, its mid latitude location,
and its topography. The region lies in the path of weather systems moving west over
the Tasman Sea. The region is generally sunny and windy, with moderate
temperatures and regular rainfall throughout the year. Westerly winds predominate

application depths greater
than soil water deficits, is likely to occur when irrigation is scheduled too early or
application depths are not matched to predetermined deficit levels. In some situations it
may also occur when irrigation precedes high rainfall events.
Poor application uniformity results in localised areas of high application depths, which
are more prone to pugging. Higher than acceptable levels of uniformity can be due to a
number of factors including: operating system outside
piezometers and total daily
rainfall values 9

Regional Council (the Council) describing the monitoring programme associated

increasingly popular as storage system, which is easy to install, reduces odour and no
rainfall into the tank means you can considerably reduce the amount of storage needed, an option to consider
in high rain fall areas.
Typically, farm dairy effluent is directed to a sand trap then tank with pump system, effluent is then applied
directly to land or to the bladder.
The Bladder will have a return valve, effluent is gravity feed from the bladder back to the tank, were it is then
applied to land

following significant river/stream fresh conditions. [NB: regional differences in
rainfall patterns have caused difficulties at various sites in the past as localised
rainfall may impact on bacteriological quality on isolated occasions]. Where
necessary, a 2 metre sampling pole was used for bacteriological sample collection
immediately beneath the water surface and at a minimum of calf depth at the sites.
Thirteen samples were collected from all but the Lake Ratapiko site (10
