discharge emissions into the air at this site. Two of the consents, to discharge factory
wastewater to land, were varied in July 2015 to include dairy shed effluent which previously had been
discharged to surface water. Another two of the consents were granted in February 2016 to provide for the
discharge of farm dairy solids and pond sludge to land. One of the land use consents was granted in March
2017 for the installation of a dual culvert in the Waiokura Stream to allow the reinstatement of a

Executive summary
The Stratford District Council (SDC) operates a municipal
Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included three inspections, two wastewater
and receiving water samples collected for physicochemical analysis.
The monitoring showed that wastewater and receiving water samples were well within the consented limits
and no odour incidents recording non-compliance in respect of this consent holder during the period under
review.
During the year, the Company demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance
with
piggery buildings
and associated wastewater treatment system from E & J O’Sullivan. The Company operated a piggery
situated on Mountain Road at Midhirst, in the Manganui catchment.
The Company specialises in growing eight to ten weeks old weaners for the market and do not grow
fattening pigs at the piggery. Significantly less effluent was produced by not growing fattening pigs.
This final report for the period July 2016 to January 2017 describes the monitoring programme
implemented by the
the culvert.
The landfill closed in September 1998, and STDC reinstated the site. Leachate is
captured via leachate collection lines in the landfill and is pumped to the
Hawera wastewater treatment plant from a pump station located just above
and downstream of the upstream end of the culvert under the landfill.
Groundwater monitoring has shown that some leachate is entering the
groundwater in the immediate vicinity of the site, but this appears to be having
a very minor effect at the
conditions that NPDC must satisfy. One consent allows NPDC to discharge swimming pool wastewater into
the Tasman Sea, and the other allows it to erect, place, use and maintain a discharge pipe at the site.
During the monitoring period, NPDC demonstrated an overall good level of environmental
performance.
The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included four site inspections, two marine
ecological inspections, a backwash discharge sample, an outdoor pool water sample, and
Allied Concrete Ltd and is hereafter referred to as Allied Concrete. They,
operate a concrete batching plant located on Mould Street, Waitara, in the Waitara catchment. The site
operation includes the storage and mixing of cement, aggregate, sand, and builders mix.
Allied Concrete holds one resource consent which includes a total of 10 conditions setting out the
requirements that they must satisfy. The consent allows for the discharge of wastewater into an unnamed
tributary of the Waitara
Tangahoe, Tawhiti and Tasman catchments. Fonterra holds a total of 18 resource consents
related to activities undertaken at the Whareroa site to allow for the abstraction of water from the Tawhiti
Stream and Tangahoe River; the discharge of river silt and sand 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 factory wastewater
