numbered_Paras This is straightforward intake of water from behind the weir and is described in section 2 above. The expired consent specified a maximum take of 3900 L/s but there is no metering of the take rate so compliance with this condition has never been monitored. We assume that his limit is based on the

report also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period
under review.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment from the
activities during the monitoring year. Administrative performance is concerned with the Company’s
approach to demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely
provision of information to Council (such as …
Ecosystem health is variable throughout the Southern Hill Country FMU. Nitrogen levels are generally low,
but elevated in-stream concentrations of dissolved reactive phosphorous are found in the majority of rivers,
along with high rates of sedimentation, which impact aquatic ecosystems. Periphyton is monitored at one
site, with occasional blooms occurring, although there is limited data to provide a comprehensive picture of
algal growth across this FMU. Macroinvertebrate community

to minimise the generation of wastewater, but this could be further improved.
The discharge of wastewater into the Kahouri Stream did not cause any recorded impact on
the macroinvertebrate communities of this stream, and the impact on water quality was
minimal. However, discharge rates to the Kahouri Stream need to be reduced to ensure a 1:100
dilution. The irrigation of wastewater was undertaken with no significant adverse effects on
the environment, but further improvement regarding

18. Mr Chapman stated that TBP has recently made improvements to the irrigation
system including an upgrade to a three pump system and the replacement of timers
on the irrigators to ensure more careful management of the discharge. It was also
explained that frequent sampling of treated wastewater is undertaken by TBP and
measured at an independent water testing facility in order to

review can be summarised by the following main points:
Surface soils across the site are dominated by semi-porous silty clay-loams, overlying more
impervious clay soils
Soils below 2000 mm have not been characterised
Chloride concentrations in the soil beneath the irrigation zone are highly elevated compared
to non-irrigated areas
The shallow groundwater table is in direct connection with semi-porous loamy silty-clay
Due to high rates of irrigation loading, shallow
