Moderate-High Low-Moderate
The visual effects for the proposal range in the medium to long term (after construction) from very
low to moderate. For the different viewing audiences, there are two that sit at moderate effects
with the remaining three being very low, low-moderate or low. As the viewing audiences and
proposed component of the proposal (whether bridge or shared pathway) are quite different, there
is no overall visual effect that summarises in totality.

occasionally noted in recent years, the water tends to be of a lesser quality mid-catchment due to the
increase or decrease of some parameters (suspended solids, biological oxygen demand, nitrate, ammoniacal
nitrogen, dissolved oxygen).
During the period under review, the instream dissolved zinc and copper concentrations met the appropriate
USEPA acute or chronic exposure guidelines in all six samples. None of the instream samples taken during

Background
4. The Government Policy Statement on land transport (GPS) sets the Government’s priorities for land
receiving funding for riparian plants and planting.
The groundwater monitoring indicates the presence of elevated total nitrogen concentrations in shallow
groundwater. This is in part a result of heavy applications of nitrogen (effluent) early in the life of the plant.
Current effluent application is considerably lower than historic application rates. However, nitrate
concentrations in the soil profile underneath the irrigation areas and in the tributaries flowing through or
adjacent to the
significance for the environment.
Section 4 presents recommendations to be implemented in the 2023-2024 monitoring year.
