Your On-Site Effluent Treatment and Disposal System
If you live in the country or in a small rural town, the wastewater from your
toilet, shower and kitchen probably drains into an on-site treatment system and is
then disposed of into the ground somewhere in your backyard.
Household wastewater (domestic effluent) can contain a mixture of human
faeces, food particles, soaps and other cleaning

Ministry for the Environment and Statistics New Zealand
3. expresses the Council’s concern to the Ministry for the Environment and Statistics
New Zealand over the nature and tone of the report, in particular that the report
focuses on particular actual or potential issues rather than present a well-rounded
overview of our marine environment, is in parts speculative or generic rather than
ecology, geomorphology, geology,
geography, hydrology and policy as well as
having local knowledge and familiarity with
the Taranaki coastal environment.
The following areas have been identified as

Until May 2014, the site was known as Riverlands Eltham. The plant has an
associated wastewater treatment system from which treated effluent is disposed of either to land or to the
river. This report covers the Company’s processing season from October 2017 to September 2018 and
describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess
the Company’s environmental performance during the period under review. The report also details the
results of the
2019-2020 monitoring year.
A glossary of common abbreviations and scientific terms, and a bibliography, are presented at the end of
the report.
1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may arise in relation to:
a. the neighbourhood or the wider community around an activity, and may include cultural and social-
consents 7557-1 and 7558-1
to discharge emissions to air from flaring at this site, and consent 7932-1 to discharge
contaminants in association with hydraulic fracturing.
The Council’s monitoring programme for the period under review included 11 inspections of
the site and surrounding environment. Samples were collected for physicochemical analysis.
No bio-monitoring surveys of receiving waters or ambient air quality analyses were carried
out. In each case, inspections found further specific

Regional Transport Committee
Creation and membership of Committee
7. The Land Transport Management Act 2003 (LTMA) requires the reconstitution of each
Regional Transport Committee following triennial local body elections.
8. Following the local government elections in October 2019, the Regional Transport
Committee (RTC or the Committee) is now required to be reconstituted. The RTC
consists of only those agencies that make a funding contribution, and …

In addition to experts helping you identify the bug to species or

The monitoring showed that site was managed in a proactive and acceptable manner; this was
detailed by the Council’s Inspectorate Officer. Bio-monitoring of the Kapuni Stream also
indicated the stream had little or no measurable adverse effects as a result of the discharges of
storm water from the Site, with the health of the stream rated as ‘good’ to ‘better than
expected’. The
