the risk of this happening again. The maximum rainfall (43 mm/hr) used in the application by Remediation (NZ) may be a bit light. This has been reviewed by the applicant in their application. The site needed to be tidied up generally. The untidiness does not given them confidence that it is being managed appropriately. Management plans and improved detail in job descriptions for site and management staff are intended to address this, along with better recording of

51. From the submissions of the Uruti residents that were heard by the Committee, the following points were raised in relation to the proposed wastewater discharges: • Concerns of rainfall events which exceed the capacity of the ponds and the wastewater then entering the Haehanga and Mimi catchments; and • That there is no detailed reinstatement clause which requires the removal of raw or composted material, the cleaning of treatment ponds, and the testing of soil in the irrigation
around the piggery. The grunt area was only producing a small discharge which was flowing directly back to the effluent collection area. Ken G Moratti Ltd (agricultural contractors) spray irrigated effluent from the second pond onto a near-by cropping paddock (as per Consent 0715 Special condition 9). The final pond had discharged to the Waiongana Stream on 3 November 2013 after a heavy rainfall period. Insignificant odour was emanating from around the ponds. Overall, the wastewater treatment

is 10 L/s. However as a result of stormwater inputs to the pond, the discharge rate from the pond to the Mangorei Stream will be highly variable as it is dependent on weather conditions. The size of the pond will allow storage for a 10% annual exceedance event (AEP) event. The maximum discharge rate from the pond during large rainfall events is 1,060 L/s as this is dictated by the size of the page 5 outfall pipe (750 mm). However there is also provision for the pond
rainfall events, or if animals have direct access to waterways. Human faecal contamination of waterways can occur via poorly treated sewage or septic tank systems, or during heavy rain when sewerage systems cannot cope and they overflow into stormwater systems. Because of these heightened health risks from runoff and stormwater, people are often advised to avoid swimming for 48 hours after prolonged or heavy rain. There are two distinct components to assessing the suitability of a site for

Normally these discharges are in batches with a frequency ranging from daily to weekly, dependent on rainfall. During and after exceptionally heavy rainfall, the discharge may occur for continuous periods of up to 24 hours. In 2021-2022, the maximum daily volume of stormwater discharged from the site was 6,063 m3/d following rainfall of 120 mm and 87 mm. Given the extremely high rainfall and that there was only one minor non- compliance instance above the 6,000 m3/d limit the Company was
