from the normal discharge point along with the discharge immediately above it.
A slight odour was detected on site. No offensive or objectionable odour was detected offsite at the time of
the inspection. An abatement notice may be issued and the compliance rating would be pending sample
results.

Inspection was undertaken as part of routine compliance monitoring, after a period of very heavy rain
overnight. The worm beds were all covered. There was evidence of a large
working satisfactory. Effluent sumps were checked twice daily by the piggery
staff. Gernhoefer contracting had just finished desludging the first pond and spray
irrigated effluent to the flatter paddocks above the ponds. The desludged pond was
displaying massive microbial actively (boil ups) at the time of inspection due to the
volume of digested sludge removed. Only a slight discharge was occurring from the
final aerobic pond and the Tawhiti Stream level was high due to recent rain

increasingly popular as storage system, which is easy to install, reduces odour and no
rainfall into the tank means you can considerably reduce the amount of storage needed, an option to consider
in high rain fall areas.
Typically, farm dairy effluent is directed to a sand trap then tank with pump system, effluent is then applied
directly to land or to the bladder.

No smoke or odours were noted.

The site was neat and tidy at the time of the inspection. Ring drains and skimmer pits were clear of
contaminants, with no discharge offsite.
No flaring or smoke were observed.

The skimmer pits contained clear water despite quite heavy rain fall during the previous few days. Frogs and
other aquatic species were in residence which may

far the greatest number of attribute measurements at each site already fall into the ‘A’ NOF
category, with most of the remainder falling into a ‘B’ category. There is a single ‘C’ result and
no ‘D’ result: that is, there is no attribute at any site that falls below the compulsory bottom
lines established within the NOF.
Before the NOF was released, the Council had in preparation for the review of its RFWP
