summary of historical bacteriological results from January 1993 to January 2013 is
presented in Table 3. The results of the bacteriological monitoring undertaken during
the 2013-2014 summer monitoring period are presented in Table 4. Although it was
not raining on the morning of sample collection (9 January 2014) there had been
heavy rainfall overnight which is reflected in the high faecal indictor bacteria counts
obtained (Table 4).

1.3.1 Water abstraction permit

Other Management Issues
Weeds - Medium There are many weeds impinging on the values of this site
including climbing asparagus, wandering willy, wild ginger,
Japanese honeysuckle, African clubmoss, brush wattle and wild
cherry.
Predators - Medium Predators such as rats, mustelids, possums, hedgehogs and feral
cats will be having an impact on the site.
Possum Self-help The site falls outside the rural Possum Self
Much of the scheme is monitored and operated remotely by the Company. Through an automated water
level sensor system, the Company can monitor the residual flows in the Manganui River and Mangaotea
Stream, water levels in the race and lake and how much rain is falling locally. This has allowed the Company
to manage race flows to minimise flooding, and has greatly improved the Company’s compliance with
residual flow requirements.
Resource consents
The Company holds 24 resource consents,
abstraction
The Company monitors the volume of water abstracted. Groundwater level monitoring 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 land. Consent 9608-1.2 requires that abstraction ceases if the water
levels in the Company supply bores GND0585 and GND1195 fall below 104 m and 109 m respectively.
Consent 2261-3.1 requires that the Company record continuous water
fishing expeditions,
and no surprises all the aunts had their special fishing places too - the
pear tree, the quince, the apple tree, the wire, the papa, to name a few.
4 As children my siblings and I had very strict instructions not to make
noise or let our shadow fall on the water, where the net was. What was
caught was shared among whanau as this was a welcome customary
practice. It doesn't seem that long ago. Back then the mud wasn't
smelly and we could freely mould and shape objects,
climber, the longfin eel can climb steep falls and is found in almost
all of New Zealand’s waterways from sea level to 1150m altitude and up to
314km inland. Habitats include streams, rivers, wetlands and lakes.
Juveniles prefer shallow fast-flowing water with coarse substratum, while
adults are more common under the cover of river banks or large debris in
slower flowing water.

compliance monitoring. The inspection was undertaken with
sampling of surface waters and soil. At the time of inspection approximately 11 mm of rain had fallen at the
site overnight. This had resulted in the surface being damp and the Haehanga Stream and associated
unnamed tributaries being turbid and slightly elevated. Weather conditions were still, warm with total cloud
cover. Rain was falling intermittently throughout the sampling run. The inspection found that the paunch
pond had approximately
