environmental effects of the Company’s
activities.
The Company holds two resource consents, which include a total of 13 conditions setting out
the requirements that the Company must satisfy. Resource consent 5108-2 allows the discharge
of treated effluent into the Tawhiti Stream, and consent 5266-1 relates to the discharge of
emissions into the air at this site.
The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included four inspections
including two wastewater and receiving water
dairy processing complex
located on Whareroa Road at Hawera, in the Tangahoe, Tawhiti and Tasman catchments.
The company hold resource consents to allow for the abstraction of water from the Tawhiti
Stream and Tangahoe River; the discharge of water treatment wastewater back to those two
streams; the discharge of stormwater to unnamed tributaries of the Tawhiti Stream, the
Tangahoe River and an unnamed coastal stream; the discharge of stormwater and sediment
to land; the discharge of dairy

Executive summary
The South Taranaki District Council (STDC) operates eight wastewater
Until May 2014, the site was known as Riverlands Eltham. The plant has an
associated wastewater treatment system from which treated effluent is disposed of either to land or to the
river. This report covers the Company’s processing season from October 2018 to September 2019 and
describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess
the Company’s environmental performance during the period under review. The report also details the
results of the
storage facility

Wastewater/stormwater
Wastewater from the facility is strictly limited to the truck wash down area (Photo 3). This is a purpose built
wash down bay, which is partially enclosed to prevent spray drift. The wastewater from the bay is treated in
a series of soakage ponds which discharge to land.

Eltham, in the Waingongoro catchment. Until May 2014, the site was known as Riverlands
Eltham. The plant has an associated wastewater treatment ponds system from which
effluent is disposed of either to land or to the river. This report for the killing season from
October 2015-September 2016 describes the monitoring programme implemented by the
Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess the Company’s environmental
performance during the period under review. The report also details the
emissions into the air from the piggery site.
The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included four inspections
and one wastewater and receiving water physicochemical sampling survey.
Consent 0351-3 expires June 2015 with no further review date. The consent holder will need
to consider the proposed changes in the Regional Fresh Water Plan which relates to managing
diffuse source discharges to land and water in the Taranaki Region when a new consent is
applied for.
District Council operates the Stratford municipal oxidation ponds system
located to the east of Stratford in the Patea catchment. The Stratford District Council holds a
resource consent to allow it to discharge treated wastewater to the Patea River. This report
for the period July 2012 to June 2013 describes the monitoring programme implemented by
the Taranaki Regional Council to assess the environmental performance during the period
under review, and the results and effects of the content

generally found to be insignificant (with minimal re-suspension of fine sediment in the
receiving water tributary). Previous reconfiguration of the combined washwater and quarry
pit stormwater/groundwater treatment ponds system resulted in compliance with
wastewater discharge conditions on all occasions. Minimal impacts on the biological
community of the stream were found during a very low flow, late summer period,
coincident with minor silt deposition on the streambed and no visual
discharge of wastewater and stormwater into the Waitara River.
During the monitoring period, ANZCO demonstrated an overall high level of environmental
performance.
The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included two inspections. Wastewater
discharges were sampled by ANZCO staff on three different occasions. Additional samples were taken for
inter-laboratory comparison on 11 July 2017, just after the conclusion of the monitoring period under review.
