Tanks – a bund around a tank or tanks must be big
enough to contain:

bunded to contain any stormwater and organic leachate, and exclusion drains, bunds,
and diversions are situated around the ponds to divert clean stormwater away from
operational areas.
74. Stormwater runoff typically occurs immediately following rain events. The stormwater
volume depends on a number of factors, including the moisture content of the soil and
the intensity of the rain. The majority of contaminants contained within the stormwater
will be in the ‘first flush’ of water leaving
ponds before land
application. The pond is stirred as effluent is sprayed onto pastures via a travelling rain gun.
There are two storage ponds on the property, pond 1 has a storage capacity of 24,500 m3, and pond 2 has a
storage capacity of 19,320 m3.
The existing piggery, ponds, and irrigation areas in relation to the property are shown in Figure 1, and Figure 2

westerly wind. The monthly rainfall was 210 mm of
rain as recorded at the Inglewood WWTP TRC weather station.
The step screen was operating and wastes were fully contained. Slight odour was noticeable in the vicinity of
the step screen. One aerator was operating on the aeration pond, which was a turbid, light grey brown
colour. The pond was discharging into the main pond.
The main pond had a normal level of 0.76 m, with a relatively clear, green grey colour and rippled surface.
The
appeared that the skimmer pit had recently
discharged, considering the volume of rain that had recently fallen it was likely that the skimmer pit still had
a leak. No effects were noted in the receiving waters downstream of the discharge point.

local fishing grounds. Tuna-
heke (migratory eel) was caught from the Lagoon further inland which was also named Tapuarau and set
upon these racks for drying. During the wet season the rains would flush out the Tapuarau Lagoon and the
Tuna-heke would run out of the lagoon, across land, through Hauriri and eventually out at Tapuarau at the
water’s edge. Paatiki (flounder) and Puupuu (sea snail) were abundant.
The Waitootara river mouth was plentiful with kai and resources that
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. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council
under Section 87(d) of the RMA.
Water discharge permits
Section 15(1)(a) of the RMA stipulates that no person may discharge any contaminant into water, unless the
activity is expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule
