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 limits, however this
this report also assigns a rating as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance during
the period under review. The rating categories are high, good, improvement required and poor for both
environmental and administrative performance. The interpretations for these ratings are found in
Appendix II.
For reference, in the 2021-2022 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 88% of the consents monitored through
Recycling Contamination Media Campaign - *NPDC* *STDC* *SDC*
With the ongoing high recycling contamination
rates (>20%) a regular awareness campaign
continues to cut down contamination. Non-
recyclable materials continue to cause issues at
the recycling facility and have a big impact on
processing costs which will have a knock on
effect to rate payers. The next campaign will
focus again on ‘keeping it clean’ and expanding

consent requirements for the vast
majority of the period being reported. During the reported period, the Company was fully compliant with
their residual flow limits, lake levels, and the rise and recession rate restrictions for the lower Patea River.
The Company was required to coordinate a number of investigations and reports during the reporting
period. The bulk of the monitoring work required in relation to these was undertaken prior to the 2017-2018
period and those results have been

(0.02±0.01 units per year). Initial monitoring showed the lake was in a mesotrophic state, and has over time
moved to a mildly eutrophic state. Previous analysis has determined that the trophic level is heavily
influenced by high turbidity values and therefore not a true indication of actual trophic status (as
determined by primary production) of the lake (Burns 2006).
