recorded at upstream site 2 (KHI000353) during both the December 2015 (150 g/m3)
and May 2016 (370 g/m3) surveys (Table 2). The exact cause of this result could not be
identified but was likely due to rainfall and/or activities in the headwaters of the
stream.
2.1.2.2 Industrial discharge site (IND005014)
Historical and current results from the industrial discharge from the yellow novaflow
pipe (IND005014) samples are presented in Table 3. Due to a lack of flow
upstream 2 (0.724 g/m3). The reason why there was an increase in zinc concentration
for the December survey from site upstream 1 to site upstream 2 and a subsequent
decrease in zinc concentration from site upstream 1 to site upstream 2 during the May
survey is probably related to rainfall. The spring survey is a ‘dry run’ where no rainfall
can occur three days prior to sampling while the summer survey is a ‘wet run’ and
occurs during heavy rain.
The site upstream 1 had a low pH for the 9

2023 indicate that the scheme had had little to no effect on the communities prior to this latest sampling
event. This could be attributed to the frequent rainfall during summer, as these flow conditions reduce the
influence of the HEP scheme activities. This is evident in the significant improvements in the
macroinvertebrate community health at the impact sites, while the control site was in average to above
average health. Consequently, based on the current (and previous) survey

• Geomorphology and geological make up of the coast.
The rate of erosion of sea cliffs in particular, depends on the following factors (Lumsden,
1995):
• Available wave energy producing both impact and abrasion (this can be altered by
refraction and diffraction of waves from reefs and off-shore bathymetry);
• The presence of absence of a protective beach at the base of the cliffs and type of

Roofing – a simple solution
Roofing your bunds avoids human error and dispenses
with the need for stormwater valves altogether.
Further benefits include:
• Stopping rainfall coming into contact with
contaminants and washing them into the stormwater
system
• Preventing accidents from valves being left open

risk of this happening again.
