compressor, giving an LHV efficiency of about 46% at full load.
The cooling system for the intercooler is similar in type to that of the Taranaki Combined Cycle Plant
described above, being a hybrid dry/wet mechanical draft cooling tower.
Water to supply the cooling tower is drawn from the Pātea River via the existing abstraction and storage
system for the combined cycle plant. Wastewater is discharged to the Pātea River. Site stormwater is
transferred to the raw water holding pond at the
programme implemented by the Taranaki
Regional Council (the Council) to assess STDC’s environmental and consent compliance performance during
the period under review. The report also details the results of the monitoring undertaken and assesses the
environmental effects of STDC’s activities in relation to the Hawera Wastewater Treatment Plant (HWWTP).
During the monitoring period, STDC demonstrated a high level of environmental performance and high
level of administrative performance.

Executive summary
The South Taranaki District Council (STDC) operates eight wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) systems
within the district of South Taranaki. This report addresses performances of four of these systems, located in
the Kaponga, Manaia, Patea and Waverley townships1. This report for the period July 2021 to June 2022
describes the monitoring programme implemented by
for the year under review included three inspections at each beach
camp and one low tide bacteriological sampling survey of four sites at Urenui Beach Camp, and five sites at
Onaero Bay Holiday Park. As in previous years, the bacteriological monitoring did not detect any adverse
environmental effects caused by the beach camps’ wastewater systems during the 2021-2022 monitoring
period.
NPDC is currently under Abatement Notices EAC-23206 and EAC-23207 for exceeding the consented limits
of
plants and from a residential subdivision on Mason Road. The combined wastes are
pumped through a dedicated pipeline to Hawera wastewater treatment plant, and upon completion of
treatment is then discharged via an ocean outfall under consent 5079-1, held by South Taranaki District
Council. Therefore, no wastewater discharges occur to the Tawhiti Stream at the Silver Fern Farms site. A
contingency pond is available should Silver Fern Farms’ access to the Hawera township sewage system be
