1.4.4 Chemical sampling
Sampling of the Sidewinder Production Station discharge and the Piakau Stream upstream and downstream
of the discharge was scheduled to be carried out on two occasions, however these samples were unable to
be collected during 2021-2022 (this was due to a combination of factors such as COVID measures, the
skimmer pits requiring a large amount of rainfall to discharge, and the site being manned only during

ensure compliance.
The Council also acknowledges that because of high
rainfall and particular soil types, a small percentage
of farmers will be unable to discharge effluent to
land. They would be able to obtain a discretionary
resource consent allowing them to continue
discharging pond-treated wastewater to water.

Pests and diseases
Fungal diseases - Fungal diseases are
currently regarded as a more serious hazard
than insect attacks or other animal pests.
Except in dry conditions (less than 800mm
rainfall), radiata pine is susceptible to two
main fungal diseases: Dothistroma and
Cyclaneusma.
Dothistroma causes severe defoliation (with
consequent growth loss) on stands up to 12-15
years, particularly in high rainfall areas, or
where air movement is restricted and high
humidity is
standard for nitrate. 20

on reworked dune fields. The Waikaikai Stream flows
approximately through the centre of the site. The proximity of the site to this
recognised ecosystem has been taken into account in the setting of buffer distances
and location of the stockpiling facilities.
The predominant soil type has been identified as black loamy sand and vegetation
growth is primarily pasture. Average annual rainfall for the site is 1043 mm (taken
from the nearby ‘Patea’ monitoring station). As with the other
