District Council (NPDC) manages the Waitara Marine Outfall which, up
until the end of 2014, discharged wastewater from the Waitara municipal sewage reticulation
system to approximately 1,250 m offshore from the mouth of the Waitara River into the
Tasman Sea. During this reporting period major work has been undertaken to convert the
Waitara Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWWTP) to a pump station. The Waitara Pump
Station was commissioned on 15 October 2014 at which point pumping of Waitara municipal
for the year under review included two inspections and the collection
of two wastewater and receiving water samples collected for physicochemical analysis.
The monitoring showed that the wastewater and receiving water samples were well within the consented
limits. No non-compliant odour incidents were recorded during the period under review.
During the year, the Company demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance

The Company holds one resource consent, which includes a total of seven conditions setting out the
requirements that the Company must satisfy.
During the monitoring period, the Company demonstrated an overall high level of environmental
performance.
The Council’s monitoring programme included two inspections and one water sample collected from the
wastewater discharge for physicochemical analysis.

should gradually trend down over time. With the exception of nitrate/nitrite N, all
results in the year under review were below maximum values previously recorded,
and were generally comparable to the historical means. As most of this leachate is
pumped to the Hawera wastewater treatment plant, the majority of the contaminants
found in these results have no direct effect on the immediate environment.

NPDC holds a renewed resource consent allowing for the discharge of treated wastewater
overflows to the Kurapete Stream, a small tributary of the Manganui River in the Waitara
catchment. Following the successful diversion of all dry weather wastewater inflows from the
ponds’ system to the New Plymouth wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in late 1999, the
renewed consent authorises only intermittent

The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included four inspections and
two wastewater and receiving water physicochemical surveys.
The number of pigs (equivalent 50 kg per pig) had increased during the 2015-2016 period by
25%, from 605 to 767 pig equivalents.
In the 2015-2016 monitoring period, the Council had received three alleged complaints
concerning the Company regarding odour, sump overflows and discharges of pig effluent to
