to the falling numbers. They will learn about some of the measures
being taken to improve the situation to give all species a better
chance of survival.

Students will learn that:
we have 34 known native
receiving water after reasonable mixing:
(a) unionised ammonia expressed as nitrogen 0.02gm-3 ;
(b) total zinc 0.05gm-3;
The discharge shall not cause the dissolved oxygen concentration
of the receiving water to fall below 80% of saturation concentration
after reasonable mixing;
The discharge shall not cause the concentration of filtered
carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand to exceed 2.00gm-3 in
the receiving water after reasonable mixing.

discharge is now only permitted within one hour of high tide, unless heavy
rainfall causes the storage capacity of the holding tank to be exceeded.
1.3 Resource consents
1.3.1 Water discharge permit
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any
water, unless the activity is expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a
regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
The Company holds water discharge
quickly to changes in wastewater loading on
the Stage 2 irrigation area. This is consistent with rapid wastewater infiltration through approximately 2 m of
sandy soil to the underlying water table. The levels of ammonia present are very low, indicating almost
complete nitrification in aerobic soil. The significant fall in nitrate concentration during the 2010-2011
monitoring period in MP2, was in response to reduced irrigation volumes, and since has ranged between
about 10 and 20 g/m³N. During

was complied with as it requires at least 98% of pH values
fall in this range. The high pH discharges were clustered around the time of heavy
rainfall, with the inflow and infiltration altering the composition of the sewage and
therefore the lime demand.
There was some difficultly maintaining the pH within the process control limit with an
average of 24% of samples falling below a pH of 10.8.

2.2. Results
2.2.1. Site inspections
13 October 2016
The site was inspected in fine weather with light easterly wind conditions.
The cap was well grassed with no ponding, cracking or exposed refuse noted. Heavy rain the previous day
had left the cap damp underfoot. It was observed that the remediated crack area was re-grassing well and
was nearly indistinguishable from the surrounding area. The batters
