assessment of the abstraction and discharge data provided by NPDC. The monitoring showed that overall the NPDC water schemes are well operated and maintained and appeared to be having no adverse effects on the environment. NPDC provided all the abstraction data required under consent conditions and the data showed that all daily volume limits and instantaneous abstraction rates were complied with. Self-monitoring of the Inglewood discharge showed minor non-compliances with suspended solids
nitrogen concentration in the pond and the rainfall 30 days prior to the sampling event. This was based on 7 ammoniacal nitrogen concentrations measured between October 2017 and April 2019. The relationship has an R2 value of 74%. Using this relationship, the monthly rainfall from 2018 was used to calculate monthly nitrogen concentrations in the pond. The concentration was converted to a loading rate in kg/ha/month based on the volume irrigated (calculated from 2018 irrigation hours and an

time (Option 2). We’d need to borrow up to $55 million, which would be repaid over 25 years from a targeted rate that would vary according to constituency. Households would pay $51 to $76 a year, depending on location. This is up from the existing $11 to $20 a year. For another $14 million we could also incorporate enlarged and extra hospitality spaces (Option 4). Expert analysis suggests this would be a sound investment popular with event promoters and spectators alike. But we’d …
to significant sand inundation events in the past. Waihi Reef, another site impacted by sand inundation, had a very likely decreasing trend that did not change following a correction for sand inundation, suggesting that this decline is being driven by other factors. A very likely increasing trend was found for the Manihi Reef site, and no trend was found for Tūrangi Reef. The trend with the greatest rate of change was the sand-adjusted trend at Orapa Reef, which
