16 Measure: Nitrate levels in groundwater. Target: No sites in the state of the environment monitoring programme consistently above NZ human drinking water standard (NZDWS); improvement (decrease) in nitrate levels on a regional basis. Baseline: Trend analysis over the period 2010 to 2020 showed an improvement in nitrate concentrations in one bore (3%) and declining trend in two bores (6%). No significant change in nitrate concentration was identified in 29 bores (91%) of
compliant with all consent conditions that could be assessed. To date there have been no significant or long-term environmental effects identified in the Makara Stream attributable to the storage facility. Effects to groundwater could not be assessed as no groundwater monitoring is undertaken at the site. To enable groundwater sampling to be undertaken in the future a recommendation to install a monitoring bore at the site has been included in Section 4 of this report. In the upcoming
mechanical and refractory issues which had resulted in dark smoke emanating from the flue stack for a brief period. A power outage caused by Cyclone Gita tripped the Elecfurn cremator while a cremation was taking place, a contractor installing ultra-fast fibre on SH3 bored through a power cable, cutting power to the crematorium. The Newton cremator tripped while in operation. Follow up inspections were carried out after the two separate power outages had caused the cremator to trip while

abstractions within a radial distance of 500 m from the wellsite. Shallow fresh groundwater (which does not have any saltwater content) was protected by casing within the bore hole. Given these factors, the abstraction would not cause the above effects. In granting the consent it was considered that the taking of groundwater was unlikely to have any adverse effect on the environment. The Council was satisfied that the proposed activity would meet all the standards for a controlled activity. It
lowering of static water-level by interference with any adjacent bore; • The abstraction shall not cause the intrusion of saltwater into any fresh water aquifer. Any produced water would be from reserves far below that which is used for domestic or farm purposes. In addition, there are no known bores within 500 m of the proposed wellsite. Shallow groundwater [which does not have any saltwater content] would be protected by casing within the bore hole. Given these factors, the
baseline reference of groundwater composition, with a further round of sampling carried out post-fracturing for comparison with baseline results. Post-fracturing groundwater samples for the January fracturing events were used as pre-fracturing baseline results for the July fracturing event. Samples taken from springs were obtained directly from the spring discharge. Where access to the bore was not available, samples were obtained at a point in the water distribution network as close to the

Condition 2 requires that the bore is labelled. Conditions 3 to 7 deal with installation of a water meter and datalogger, recording and provision of data, accuracy of the equipment, access, and repairs and maintenance. Condition 8 requires the consent holder to adopt
