(telemetry
records indicated high rainfall throughout the Manganui catchment during the period
of discharge). No heterotroph growths (sewage fungus) were found to be growing on
the stream bed as a result of piggery effluent discharge.
Solids continue to be removed via the separator and the product is available as a soil
conditioner. Removing solids from the effluent stream significantly reduces the BOD
loading on the ponds. An Auckland based product (Eco Stock) was currently being fed

The 'Envirolink' process for projects to be funded in 2015/2016
was completed during 2014/2015. Projects with a clear benefit to
Taranaki were identified and successfully advocated for: a review
of a national High Intensity Rainfall Design System (with benefits
for hydrology, river engineering and civil defence response), and
development of Discrete Water
review of a national High Intensity Rainfall Design

Sampling Standards (State of the Environment and
Policy/National Policy Statement-Fresh Water implementation
benefits). The Envirolink process for soliciting projects for funding
in 2016/2017 has been implemented and 2 proposals
provisionally approved for further development. One further

Piggery discharge records were checked, and six separate discharges to the Rumkeg
Creek had been recorded to date.
Because of several unsubstantiated odour complaints received by the Council, the
consent holder had installed a weather monitoring station at the piggery. Noted were
wind direction (south east), wind speed14.5 km/hour and rainfall volume (77 mm in
last 24hrs).

The consent holder has also installed a new solids separator

On 20 June 2013
Piggery discharge and receiving water samples were collected after a recent heavy
rainfall event throughout the upper Manganui catchment. The Rumkeg Creek staff
gauge was reading 0.58m at the time of sampling, equating to a river flow of 5.028
m3/ sec. The piggery discharge flow rate was estimated at 8-10 litres per sec. The
piggery manager had only discharged treated effluent wastewater to the
