about discharge of dust from the site. New Zealand Police were also notified of the dust discharges due to the reduced visibility that motorists were experiencing when commuting past the site. [33] In response to the complaints, a Council Enforcement Officer undertook an inspection of the site. A series of photographs and videos were taken by Council Enforcement Officers and complainants. At the time of the inspection the weather was clear, with no rainfall and a medium
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 would be restricting the production of leachate from the green waste. It is therefore considered that, so long as STDC continues to monitor for and remove exposed unacceptable material from the coastline the environmental effects from the activities at the site, are likely to be no more than minor. 3.3
predictions are made at the scale of the overall lake. Uncertainty is a component of any freshwater monitoring or modelling. For example, river flows and levels fluctuate throughout the day, and nutrient levels will vary depending on how much rainfall and runoff is occurring. Pathogens and algae will grow in response to a range of factors, such as temperature, light and river flow. This uncertainty is described in terms of ‘confidence’. For example, how certain it is that water quality is
There were no odours or visual issues near the WWTP or trenches at the time of inspection. There had been significant rainfall preceding the site visit and STDC reported that high flows were continuing at the time of inspection. There were several areas of ponding throughout the playground / reserve that were partially barricaded off. The sea was a turbid brown at the time of sampling. Overall, the camp appeared to be operating in compliance with its consent conditions at the time of inspection.
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan that has been approved by the Chief Executive, Taranaki Regional Council, acting in a certification capacity. This finalised plan shall conform to the Waikato Regional Council’s Guidelines for Soil Disturbing Activities and shall detail methodology/ design of stormwater drainage from the cleanfill, and maintenance of sediment control practices, with a specific focus on rainfall events. 14. This consent shall lapse five years following the date of issue,

as a result of high rainfall events that exceed the storage capacity of the primary and holding ponds, and the pumping capacity of the reticulated system to Hawera. Primary pond effluent analyses were not required during the monitoring period, although the condition of the pond and any associated odour continues to be monitored during routine inspections. page 10 Along with a visual survey of the primary pond and surrounds, dissolved oxygen levels (DO) and the
appeared to be well lined, with a shut off valve in place at the exit of the second pit. A good quality swale had been constructed to direct and treat any potential overflow following extreme rainfall events. Works had also been completed on the ring drains to ensure that they flow towards the skimmer pits and prevent pooling or ponding within the drains. At the time of the inspection the skimmer pits were discharging as a result of the ring drains along the western edge of the site being fed
(STDC), operates the Eltham municipal wastewater treatment system located to the east of Eltham in the Mangawhero catchment. STDC holds a resource consent to allow it to discharge treated wastewater to the Mangawhero Stream under high rainfall conditions only. Previously STDC also held a consent for the discharge of emissions into the air but this expired in mid 2011 when it was no longer considered necessary as the nature of the biological processes at the plant met a ‘permitted’ category in
