sites are monitored for ammonia. Three
out of four sites fall within band A and one
site in band B. At these sites, ammonia is
likely to have little to no effect on all but the
most sensitive species. Modelled estimates
support the monitored results, with
approximately 68% in band A and 32% in
band B (Figure 4).
Four sites are monitored for nitrate, all of
which fall in band A. At these sites, nitrate is
likely to have little to no effect on aquatic
life. Modelled estimates largely

Working day means a day of the week other than:
a) Saturday, Sunday, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day, Labour Day, the
Sovereign’s birthday, Matariki, and Waitangi Day. If Waitangi Day or Anzac
Day falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, then the following Monday;
b) The day observed in the appropriate area as the anniversary of the province of
which the area forms a part; and
c) A day in the period commencing with 20 …

There are two storage ponds on the property, pond 1 has a storage capacity of 24,500 m3, and pond 2 has a
storage capacity of 19,320 m3.
The existing piggery, ponds, and irrigation areas in relation to the property are shown in Figure 1, and Figure 2

bunded to contain any stormwater and organic leachate, and exclusion drains, bunds,

operational areas.
74. Stormwater runoff typically occurs immediately following rain events. The stormwater
volume depends on a number of factors, including the moisture content of the soil and
the intensity of the rain. The majority of contaminants contained within the stormwater
will be in the ‘first flush’ of water leaving
corner, or
south toward swales in the grassed area and then to a settling pond on the southern boundary. Stormwater
from a storage area to the south of the main building is transported across the paddocks to a manhole.
During heavy rain overflow from the settling pond also discharges into a single manhole and enters the
piped tributary.

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 (31% of
samples, or 35% if the samples of the Waimoku are included) across the 16 recognised bathing sites was
slightly higher than the recorded long-term average. However, it should be noted that the “Action” category
is the only category for which swimming is not recommended. In the
Waitōtara, was instituted as a requirement of Consent
9608-1.2, held by DR Wilson for abstraction of groundwater at a location across the Waitōtara River for
irrigation of pasture. Consent 9608-1.2 requires that abstraction ceases if the water levels in the Company
supply bores GND0585 (Bore 3a) and GND1195 (Bore 1) fall below 104m and 109m respectively.
Consent 2261-3.1 relates to abstraction from production Bore 1 (GND1195), Bore 2 (GND0230) and Bore 3a
(GND0585). The daily abstraction volume

Five sites are monitored for ammonia, all of
which fall within band A. At these sites, ammonia
is not likely to have any toxic effect, even on the
most sensitive species. Modelling estimates
(Figure 4) however, suggest that around 66% of
rivers or streams are in band A, while 34% are in
band B.
