(the Council) adopted a water management plan for the river in September 1991.
During the 2018-2019 monitoring period a total of 21 consents were held by the 14 industries monitored
under this programme that discharge wastewater, stormwater and/or leachate from the industrial area at
Fitzroy, New Plymouth to the lower Waiwhakaiho River and Mangaone Stream, or to land in the lower
Waiwhakaiho and Mangaone Stream catchments. The activities and impacts of the consent holders upon

historical median but still an improvement on earlier years). No samples outside of the mixing zone
exceeded the relevant USEPA receiving water criteria for the protection of aquatic ecosystems for zinc or
copper, and all other parameters were below levels stipulated by consent conditions.
Biomonitoring results have also continued to indicate a slight improvement in water quality and ecological

stormwater across the entire site appeared to be almost completely
uncontrolled in all areas. The composting, paunch waste, truck wash
and drilling mud areas were either unlined or inadequately concreted
(in the case of the truck wash pad) and were not bunded to capture and
divert any contaminants from entering overland flow and ultimately
surface waters (Photos 1a and b). The irrigation ponds were unlined
and bunded only by permeable material (earth). As a result, the
the monitoring period. Daily surface
water abstraction data was also assessed.
The monitoring indicated that the effects of the discharge of stormwater and process waters into the Kapuni
Stream were minimal. Inter-laboratory analysis indicated fairly good agreement between both parties.
Surface water abstraction was compliant for the whole monitoring period.
The review of the biological monitoring concluded that overall, the MCI scores for nearly all sites were
similar to or higher
generation upon
notification. It should be noted that the Company never knowingly generated when the lake level was at or
below the minimum authorised level during the reporting period, and that leakage was the principal cause
when a low lake level occurred.
There is still concern about the sand inundation of the head of Opunake Lake, and the reduced recreational
value that has resulted from this. The Company is continuing to investigate an array of options, including
reducing the potential for
