Stream, were due principally to resident wild fowl populations in the vicinity of
recreational usage sites (as confirmed by inspections and more recently by DNA marker
surveys).
In terms of E. coli, bacteriological water quality in the latest survey period was similar in
comparison with historical surveys. The total number of samples falling within the “Alert”
or “Action” categories (28% of samples) was equal to the long-term average and was
strongly influenced by samples at two urban sites
of the production station and the wellsites were undertaken on the same day and were found to
be in full compliance with the consent conditions. The production stormwater system was noted to be
managing the stormwater well in light of heavy rain the night before. No hydrocarbon sheens were
observed on the skimmer pits, and there was no smoke or odour from the pilot flare. The well sites were
observed to be tidy and in good order. Stormwater discharges were well managed at the time and there
was no sign of recent overflow discharges into the Kurapete Stream. The WWTP and facilities were
operating satisfactorily, with the pond perimeter tracks recently mown. No odours were noted onsite.

An inspection was conducted in fine weather with light wind. Rainfall of 276 mm of rain was recorded at the
Inglewood WWTP Council weather station in the month prior.
The primary screen was operating and wastes were fully contained. The primary aeration pond was a turbid

general, there are two types of irrigation methods: surface and pressurised. The majority of irrigation
systems currently in operation in the region fall into the pressurised category. Pressurised systems can be
further differentiated based on the method of operation and equipment used. A summary of the systems
encountered in the region is given below.

Inspection was conducted in conjunction with groundwater sampling:-
• No material had been stored or spread via this site for some years.
• The old cells and stormwater ponds were full of rain water.
• No sheen was evident, but some odour was observed immediately downwind
of the cells during groundwater sampling.
• No other issues were noted.
one inspection, a review of water
abstraction data and water level monitoring data, three water samples collected for physicochemical
analysis, two biomonitoring surveys of receiving waters and various stream gaugings.
The monitoring indicated that the operation of the sluicing of the weir has improved, with flows not falling
below 151L/s at any point in the 2023/24 year.
For reference, in the 2023/24 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
