There’s not the erosion once it’s been planted out and is established.” Donna says that by ordering their plants from the Regional Council a year in advance, they’ve been able to plan ahead and buy species that will attract native

In both these instances CCCWSL advised Council and affected parties of this requirement, as per their consent conditions. Figure 2 shows CCCWSL’s abstraction for the 2021-2022 monitoring period.

Further, a stormwater sample page 16 was collected from pooled rain water which demonstrated no elevated contaminants were present in the sample. The Council’s position was that the works did not result in any on-going discharge of contaminants to the environment as a process of the skimmer pit development.

systems away from direct surface water disposal to land irrigation. Analysis comparing data to NPS-FM NOF attributes showed that 52 of the 67 sites (78%) reported five-year median MCI scores above the national bottom line (≥90), with 15 sites (22%) falling below this threshold, indicating severe organic pollution or nutrient enrichment. Most sites (29, or 43%) were in band C, suggesting moderate pollution, while 12 sites (18%) were in band A, indicating pristine conditions. For SQMCI, 41
