categorised, 3 (14%) were rated ‘improvement required’ and 18 (86%)
‘high’. During the year under review there were two incidents associated with the Whareroa
site (one regarding an exceedance of stormwater BOD resulting in the issuing of an

Water abstraction from the Tawhiti Stream and from the Tangahoe River were in accordance
with consent conditions.
The volume of wastewater discharged from the site complied with conditions
However, taking into
account the influence of suspended sediment in this reservoir, and the moderately low
chlorophyll levels, the classification is more appropriately mesotrophic. Previous trending of
these water quality data over time found a very slow rate of increase in trophic level. An
update of the trend report (for the period 1990-2015) has confirmed this very slow,
insignificant rate of increase in trophic level. This also confirmed that the lake would be
classified as mesotrophic in
