for refurbishment. The non-compliant discharge volumes were
attributed to recurrent periods of high rainfall which first occurred in the 2016-2017 monitoring period. Due
to this, all enforcement actions were outlined in the previous monitoring report. In summary, following two
14 day letters and a number of stakeholder meetings, STDC were required to provide a report on inflow and
infiltration and undertake additional shellfish monitoring. Further investigations found that the discharges

note that Council expects that all consents issued will require an exclusive
discharge to land and full storage after 1 December 2022. This means that any
consented discharge expiring in 2022 or later must discharge to land.
Dual discharges may be allowed if the farm is in a high rainfall area and provision of
adequate storage is impractical. This option needs to be discussed with Council Staff.

in compliance with consent defined conditions on the two occasions they were collected. It is noted that the
stormwater facility discharge to surface water, only occurs during significant rainfall events.
The facility is allowed noticeable, but not objectionable or offensive odour beyond the boundary of the site.
In the past, noticeable odours have been noted during the loading and unloading exercises, when material
is agitated, or fresh from the supplier.

following significant river/stream fresh conditions. [NB: regional differences in
rainfall patterns have caused difficulties at various sites in the past as localised
rainfall may impact on bacteriological quality on isolated occasions]. Where
necessary, a 2 metre sampling pole was used for bacteriological sample collection
immediately beneath the water surface and at a minimum of calf depth at the sites.
Thirteen samples were collected from all but the Lake Ratapiko site (10

Productive Land
Land is one of our most valuable assets, providing
recreational opportunities and giving us a sense of place
and connection to our local environment. Farming and
forestry provide dairy, meat, wool and timber products
that contribute significantly to the regional economy and
support communities.
The natural variations of climate, topography and soil shape
how land is used and managed across the region. Regular
rainfall and deep, fertile
