The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included one compliance
monitoring inspection and one water sample collected for physicochemical analysis.
The monitoring showed that the site was well operated during the period under review.

Council) describing the monitoring programme associated with 13 industries within the catchment of the
Mangati Stream, Bell Block.
Overall, a high level of environmental performance was achieved by the consent holders in the industrial
area of the Mangati Stream catchment.
The Mangati catchment has, in the past, been heavily utilised for the disposal of stormwater and
wastewaters from

5. Drilling waste from the hydrocarbon industry is received in a series of ponds within
the ‘Drill Mud Pad’ [DMP], where it is blended with bulking agents such as sawdust
prior to being stockpiled into rows for composting. This material is then processed
through the vermiculture process.
6. Stormwater and leachate generated on Pad 1 and the DMP is treated through a pond
treatment system [PTS]. The treated wastewater is then irrigated

Council is working with the new agency to
improve environmental outcomes for freshwater.
This oversight at a national level will regulate
wastewater, stormwater and how much water can
be taken from waterways. The Council will remain
the primary regulator and will continue to check
the performance of the wastewater and
stormwater networks.
The big change on the horizon for district and city
councils will be the restructuring of the delivery of
