TTR hold resource consent 7470-1.2 which authorises the take and use of groundwater from a bore for
watering of racetracks and general purposes, at the Taranaki Thoroughbred Racing Club, as well as watering
gardens and other general purposes at Pukekura Park. The consent was issued by the Taranaki Regional
Council (the Council) on 20 June 2017 and contains 9 special conditions …

concentrated ammonia plume extends from the plant area. Both plumes have pump and treatment systems
operating, with the contaminated groundwater pumped back through the plant and waste treatment
system. Both plumes are closely monitored and neither plume extends beyond the boundary of the
Company’s site. However, current results indicate that one monitoring bore, but not other down gradient
bores in close proximity, showed a large increase in total nitrogen. This suggests

The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included four inspections, and the collection
of four wastewater and 29 groundwater samples for physicochemical analysis. This includes monitoring of a
bore which was installed on 5 November 2019. Silver Fern Farms supplied records of their own monitoring,
as well as records of the volume of water abstracted and the volume of wastewater discharged.
The groundwater abstraction data …

the consent renewal process. Though no specific Hapu meeting was held this year.
The monitoring showed that water abstraction from both the Inaha Stream and groundwater bore were
again within compliance limits for the full monitoring year. Cooling water discharge analysis and Company
provided analysis identified the bore water discharge contained measurable ammonia from the formation
extracted water.
The ammonia from the bore water is likely contributing to increased nitrogen in the
nitrate/nitrite nitrogen in some
bores and a number of parameters in the under liner drainage. An abatement notice has been issued
and the monitoring programme been expanded so that the potential for future adverse effects can be
evaluated. The abatement notice has an extended date of 31 January 2024 so that these potential
effects can be taken into account during the early application for the replacement of the consents and
to allow for the preparation of a Cultural Impact Assessment by
