Dairy: Suitable storage is calculated using the Dairy Effluent Storage Calculator. This enables FDE to be stored when soil and management conditions are unsuitable for FDE land application. All areas that FDE is collected from are sealed (this includes feed pads). All new effluent systems are designed to FDE Design Code of Practice

camp and one low tide bacteriological sampling survey encompassing four sites at Urenui Beach Camp, and
five sites at Onaero Bay Holiday Park. As in previous years, the bacteriological monitoring did not detect any
adverse environmental effects caused by the beach camps’ wastewater systems during the 2022-2023
monitoring period.

Executive summary
South Taranaki District Council (STDC) operates a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) located on
South Road at Ōpunake, in the Otahi and Heimama catchments. This is a three-stage treatment system
comprised of a primary oxidation pond, a wetlands treatment system, and a subsurface, reticulated soakage
trench system that subsequently discharges to an unnamed coastal stream between the Otahi Stream and
the Heimama Stream.

June 2023 by the Taranaki Regional Council (the
Council) describing the monitoring programme associated with 14 industries within the catchment of the
Mangati Stream, Bell Block.
Overall, a good level of environmental performance was achieved by the consent holders in the industrial
area of the Mangati Stream catchment.
The Mangati catchment has, in the past, been heavily utilised for the disposal of stormwater and
wastewaters from a large number of industrial sites. As a consequence of

landfill combined monitoring programme.
Historically the water quality in the Mangawhero Stream was quite poor due to the discharges from the
Eltham wastewater treatment plant and it was difficult to fully assess any impact from the landfill on the
stream. Generally no deterioration in water quality was found when comparing upstream and downstream
sites.
