monitoring year, with irrigation commencing in late October and concluding in mid-April across the region. Rainfall recorded at the Council’s monitoring locations over the summer irrigation period ranged between 109% and 163% of historical mean values. Due to the higher rainfall, irrigation demand was lower with a total water usage of 4,063 ML during the 2022-2023 season. This was lower than the preceding 2021-2022 monitoring year, which recorded 6,960 ML. The Council carried out compliance
Waiwhakaiho and Bell Block and as such signage remains in place at these locations to advise against collecting shellfish. There were eight unauthorised incidents that occurred at the NPWWTP during the year; three due to blockages, two due to heavy rainfall, and three due to operator errors. Four events were recorded for sewer pump stations (all due to high rainfall), and a further 15 reticulation overflows (the majority of which were due to high rainfall or blockages due to fat and/or wet
boundary during any of the four routine inspections. Results of effluent monitoring With the diversion of wastes to the Hawera WWTP in the 2010/11 period, discharges from the Eltham WWTP now occur only as a result of high rainfall events that exceed the storage capacity of the primary and holding ponds, and the pumping capacity of the reticulated system to Hawera. Analysis of the primary pond effluent was not required during the monitoring period, although the condition of the pond and
by NPDC assessed for compliance upon receipt. The monitoring showed that the activities were generally being carried out in compliance with the conditions of the resource consent. The results of surface and groundwater quality monitoring undertaken show no adverse effects of the activity on local fresh water resources. Site visits undertaken found the site to be tidy and well managed. During this monitor year, following higher than average rainfall the minimum separation distance
marginal rise in analytes in one of the bores, whilst concentration levels remained relatively stable in the other bore. The third bore remained dry for the entire monitoring period, which could potentially be attributed to the relatively low rainfall in the area during the past year. Lake Taumaha sample analysis demonstrates that the surface water quality continues to remain stable and unaffected by the landfarming activities. Soil sample analysis found that further bioremediation would be
