Stormwater from the site continued to be diverted to containment ponds, with the stormwater batch released
after quality checks. Sample results for the discharge samples collected by the Council were within those
prescribed by consent conditions.
Particulate deposition from air emissions was, in general, similar to the previous monitoring periods. At the
monitoring site west of the plant site the lactose deposition rate was found to be 7% over the guideline

Today, every dairy farm in Taranaki operates under a regularly monitored discharge permit that requires
effluent to be treated before discharge. And the rates of compliance are consistently high at over 93%.
Clean, healthy water is the region’s most precious resource. A highlight of the report is the finding that
trends in ecological health and a wide range of physical and chemical measures of water quality are the best
that have ever been recorded.

During the monitoring period SDC complied with all abstraction and discharge limits, and all abstraction
data was provided in timely manner. Toko water supply still has minor issues in regards to how abstraction
rates were measured, however a compliance plan was put in place to rectify this.
During the year, the SDC demonstrated a good level of environmental performance and a good level of

The results for the SEM nuisance periphyton programme during the 2016-2017 monitoring year showed
that on one occasion at one site there was a breach of the thick mat guideline and on five occasions across
four separate sites there was a breach of the long filaments guideline, out of a total of 64 site surveys. Ten
sites could not be surveyed in spring 2016 due to high water levels. For the 2017-2018 monitoring year
there were two occasions where there
