of stormwater grates and drains with waste materials • The discolouration of natural water bodies. How your waste can pollute the environment Any material or substance left uncovered or on the ground outside can flow or be washed by rainwater into a nearby stormwater drain where it will result in the pollution of the local stream and/or the coast. Wastewater from blasting operations contains a number of substances that can pollute our environment. These include sediment, fuel

any significant effects of stormwater or wastewater discharges from the Fitzroy industrial area on the macroinvertebrate communities of the Waiwhakaiho River. The results from the Mangaone Stream exhibited the expected and typical downstream decrease in MCI scores, however in this instance noticeable deterioration of SQMCI scores were noted in the middle to lower reaches of the Mangaone Stream during the summer survey. There continued to be evidence of some nutrient enrichment occurring

regulations. Nova Energy holds water discharge permit 4560-2 to discharge wastewater from filter backwashing and tank cleaning into the Waitara River. This permit was issued by the Council on 7 January 2003 under Section 87(e) of the RMA to Shell Todd Oil Services Ltd. It was transferred to Todd Taranaki Ltd on 31 May 2006, then to Bay of Plenty Energy on 15 June 2011 and to Nova Energy on 8 April 2013. It is due to expire on 1 June 2021. There are three special conditions attached to this
the period under review included two inspections and one investigation. A total of nine water samples were collected for physicochemical analyses during the reported period. Stormwater was managed to avoid contact with chemicals stored on-site. All wastewater was either disposed of directly to trade waste or temporarily stored in the bunded area of the site before being removed off-site for disposal or recycling at an approved facility. During the spring survey sampling was limited due
Eltham wastewater treatment plant/Eltham landfill combined monitoring programme. Historically the water quality in the Mangawhero Stream was quite poor due to the discharges from the Eltham wastewater treatment plant and it was difficult to fully access any impact from the landfill on the stream. Generally no deterioration in water quality was found when comparing upstream and downstream sites. Now that the Eltham wastewater treatment plant pumps its effluent to the Hawera wastewater
manufacturing wastewater is treated on-site and discharged to the Tasman Sea via a marine outfall. The wastewater discharge infrastructure associated with Fonterra's Whareroa site is also utilised by South Taranaki District Council for the discharge of municipal wastewater from the Hawera township. 3. SPECIFIC SUBMISSION POINTS 3.1. Fonterra's specific submission points are provided in Attachment A. 3.2. In respect of all of those submission points in Attachment A, Fonterra seeks: Where
bacteriological sampling at four sites at Urenui and five sites at Onaero. The monitoring showed that the wastewater treatment systems at the beach camps did not adversely affect the water quality of the local freshwater and coastal environments. Although high bacteriological results were returned from the water quality sampling efforts, these counts were attributed to surface runoff draining the upstream agricultural catchment, following the rains that preceded the sampling. There was one
