resulted in discharges from the wastewater network to waterways. Four of these incidents were related to pipe blockages or breakages, ten were related to high rainfall events and the remaining three events were a result of mechanical faults or technical errors. All incidents were investigated and assessed based on their cause, NPDC’s adherence to their Incident Response Plan and the resulting environmental effects. With the exception of one water sampling survey, no further action was considered
effluent also varies depending on the current level of rainfall runoff. There are also minute quantities of other chemicals that are used from time-to-time for research purposes.

year under review some unacceptable material was dumped at the Pātea Beach green waste discharge site, but it was removed promptly by STDC. There was no leachate observed discharging from the sand dune area or the stockpiled green waste during the period under review, or in previous years. These factors, combined with the sandy substrate and low rainfall at the beach should be restricting the production of leachate from the green waste. It is therefore considered that, so long as STDC continues

The mountain and ranges have a strong influence on rainfall in the area by attracting orographic type events which are often associated with frontal systems and depressions moving through the Tasman Sea.

the site, therefore the concentration of contaminants will likely be higher after smaller rainfall events as a result of lower dilution. As the windrows act like sponges, slowly releasing moisture as well as absorbing it, there may also be some drainage (leachate) from the site after rainfall events have stopped. page 18 75. A washdown pad is also used to clean trucks after they have offloaded organic waste. Water used for washing is pumped from the washdown supply
