Naturally, it’s more intricate than that.
Down near the mouth, if the tide is coming in and the light’s just right on a fine
autumn morning and there hasn’t been any rain for a day or two, the water is the
deep, dark green of pounamu as it slides past the town.
Upstream at the graceful Bertrand Road swing-bridge, it has the hues of a weak flat

groundwater samples. It was raining with 8 mm of rain over the past 24 hours.
The newly capped area was starting to grow grass but was still largely uncovered
and quite soft underfoot (waterlogged). The northern batter was inspected and found
to have a minor amount of exposed rubbish where drainage works were undertaken.
This should be attended to once the new cap has stabilised and been grassed over.

1.3 Resource consents
Water abstraction permit 1.3.1
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
bacteriological sampling at four sites at Urenui and five sites at
Onaero.
The monitoring showed that the wastewater treatment systems at the beach camps did not adversely affect
the water quality of the local freshwater and coastal environments. Although high bacteriological results
were returned from the water quality sampling efforts, these counts were attributed to surface runoff
draining the upstream agricultural catchment, following the rains that preceded the sampling.

and 36 of the RFWP do not include any matters of control that expressly allow for the consideration of
matters such as those expressed in the NPS-FM objective. Given that the Council can only consider policies
that relate to the matters over which the Council has reserved control through the plan itself, the Council is
unable to take into account matters that fall outside this scope.

remediation pad. Any rain run-off and leachate that is
generated, drains into a series of ponds for treatment. Between each pond there is a
baffle that skims off any floating hydrocarbons as the leachate passes through. These
ponds also treat the leachate and stormwater from pad 1 where remediated drilling
wastes are stored and/or processed further. The treated liquid from the pond
treatment system (PTS) is then irrigated to cut and carry pasture on two irrigation
areas.

17 December 2021 - The camp was quiet at the time of inspection with only one bus, one motorhome and
two caravans in residence. The STDC officer noted that the holding tanks had been full as a result of heavy
rain but had reduced the following day. While there have been odour complaints in the past, at the time of
inspection there were no odours or visual issues near the WWTP or trenches. The sea was a turbid brown at
the time, and there had been lots of rain preceding the
