The monitoring indicated the following:
The discharge of cooling water recorded an increasing ammonia concentration throughout the monitoring
period, though the impact to the Inaha stream was minimal. The thermal effect of the plant discharges were
within the thermal limits for the duration of the monitoring year. The abstraction of surface water and
groundwater was undertaken within compliance standards for the duration of the year. The dilution rate for

(0.02±0.01 units per year). Initial monitoring showed the lake was in a mesotrophic state, and has over time
