ingress after recent heavy rains it was not possible to determine quantities. It was noted
that Mi Swaco are looking to relinquish responsibility for the site, it was outlined that
all materials will need to be land-farmed prior to consent surrender. As the site would
likely be used to store water treatment sludge it was agreed that all cells would be
scraped completely clean and the materials stockpiled into one cell in

Inspections
The site was inspected on two occasions in 2012-2013 period. The findings of the
inspections are given below.
2.1.1 31 October 2012
A site visit was made to conduct a compliance monitoring inspection and to take water
samples. The weather was fine with no rain over the previous 48 hours. No visual
effects were noted in the stream during sampling and both samples were clear and had
no odour. No leachate seepages or exposed refuse were observed and the cap was
sound. The
erosion
was detected as a result of the recent rainfall events. Fish passage was difficult to assess due to the high
flow of the stream at the time of inspection and this will subsequently be assessed in further inspections
during low flow conditions.
The inspection then focused on the air discharge portion of the consents held by the Company. The
inspection found that a slight to moderate breeze was blowing. The weather was fine at the beginning of
the inspection, however rain had set in
freshwater ecosystem health. Find more information on
river flows in the Water chapter.

Deferred capital investment in infrastructure, such as the Falls Dam on
the Manuherekia River, is likely to remain on hold while uncertainties around
future minimum flow(s) of water bodies persist.33 In short, uncertainty around
access to water and the reliability of future supply, is eroding business (farmer)
confidence.

damp enough to avoid dehydration but allows access to air, and wait until
the first significant rain autumn. They spawn in autumn after the dry period,
laying several hundred eggs that hatch in 3-4 weeks. This gives the fry the
longest time to grow before the next dry period. Diet consists of small
aquatic or terrestrial animals, such as other larvae, amphipods or
copepods. These fish are New Zealand’s most specialised freshwater fish
and a unique component to our heritage.
