Company communicated that two different delivery systems were used during the 2023/24 monitoring year: 1. Dribble bar – main method of effluent application, depths applied (~3mm) page 12 2. ‘Weta’ travelling rain gun – used to apply effluent to the Sand Dune block at 8-10mm depths during 7 months of the year. Type of crops grown Two crops were grown under the cut and carry system in 2023/24. Maize Silage paddocks (37.2ha) which were cultivated in October and
sites were inspected on three occasions during the monitoring year. A summary of the notes made during these inspections is given below. 2.1.1 9 August 2012 A site visit was made to conduct a compliance monitoring inspection.

site. The consent (7645-1) is held by Alby M Limited, and compliance monitoring of consent 7645-1 is not included in this report page 6 Results 2.2.1 Inspections 21 September 2022 It was raining with a light breeze at the time of the inspection. The cap was in good condition and was showing no signs of slumping. There was some ponding present, but the inspection was during a rain event, thus this would be expected. There was evidence of good stock rotation and
however the bung was missing allowing rainwater and possibly contaminants to discharge onto the ground. One solution would be to place an oliophillic mat below the pump to capture any hydrocarbon while allowing rainwater to drain, this was discussed with staff at the time of the inspection. Also discussed was the purposed and use of plastic matting under the rig. For some areas plastic matting is suitable, however for others the matting needs to be used to capture solid/liquid that falls from the
stormwater falling on the non-process areas of the western half of the site (Figure 1) is directed by “v” ditches running alongside the roads to a dam/pond and then out to the Tasman Sea via the Manu Stream. Stormwater falling on the eastern side of the site is directed to unnamed tributaries of the Waihi Stream via outfalls and a small sedimentation pond. Sludge from the storm pond, off-spec pond and blow down pond stored in lagoons 2, 3, and 4 was removed during 2006. The sludge in lagoon 1 is …
review of the Regional Freshwater Plan, the Committee was told. Overseer was never designed or intended for use as a regulatory tool, but solely for use at individual farm-management level. Seven regional councils currently make use of Overseer as a regulatory tool in some way. TRC is among the nine which do not use it.

An infringement notice was issued. 2.3.2 Sewage pump station incidents There were no unauthorised discharges from sewage pump stations (SPSs) during the 2023/24 monitoring year. 2.3.3 Reticulation overflow incidents Five unauthorised discharges to surface water occurred due to overflows in the reticulation network during the 2023/24 monitoring period (Table 18). page 18 NPDC has continued work
during an exceptional rain event. Investigation found compliance with the relevant consent. Abstraction volumes complied with the consent limit. Telemetry of abstraction data to Council was installed in October 2012, with provision for transmission of cooling water flow and temperature data in the future, if required. Graeme Lowe Protein Ltd (meat rendering plant) demonstrated an overall high level of environmental performance. The Company holds four resource consents, to allow it to
sound? Are they practical, efficient and reasonable? And most importantly, what impacts will they have on families and communities? The information supplied so far by the Government and its advisers would appear to fall short of adequately answering these questions. We hope that Wellington will give the Taranaki experience the careful consideration we believe it deserves. A major concern is that as they stand, the Government’s proposals would frustrate and set back the good work happening here. The
