and 90 g/m³N respectively. Levels then dropped to below the drinking water standard in MP3 and
fluctuated between about 20 and 50 g/m3N between 1995 and 2009 in MP2. In the 2010-2011 monitoring
period nitrate concentration in MP2 fell in response to reduced irrigation volumes, and since has ranged
between about 10 and 20 g/m³N, lifting when volumes increased in 2014-2015 and falling when volumes
decreased in 2015-2016. During the current …
was complied with as it requires at least 98% of pH values
fall in this range. The high pH discharges were clustered around the time of heavy
rainfall, with the inflow and infiltration altering the composition of the sewage and
therefore the lime demand.
There was some difficultly maintaining the pH within the process control limit with an
average of 24% of samples falling below a pH of 10.8.

to the falling numbers. They will learn about some of the measures
being taken to improve the situation to give all species a better
chance of survival.

Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any
water, unless the activity is expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a
regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
Sufficient volumes of water within streams and rivers to protect aquatic habitat is a
primary concern of the Council with respect to water abstraction permits. Water
abstraction for quarries is primarily only required for the washing
discharge is now only permitted within one hour of high tide, unless heavy
rainfall causes the storage capacity of the holding tank to be exceeded.

1.4.1 Water abstraction permit
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any
water, unless the activity is expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a

(a) unionised ammonia expressed as nitrogen 0.02gm-3 ;
(b) total zinc 0.05gm-3;
The discharge shall not cause the dissolved oxygen concentration
of the receiving water to fall below 80% of saturation concentration
after reasonable mixing;
The discharge shall not cause the concentration of filtered
carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand to exceed 2.00gm-3 in
the receiving water after reasonable mixing.
