facility was also inspected. This area was found to be in a satisfactory
condition with no odour or unauthorised waste disposal issues noted.

An inspection was conducted in showery weather with very light wind conditions. The monthly rainfall was
60.5 mm of rain as recorded at the Stratford TRC weather station.
The step screen was operating and wastes were fully contained. The influent flow rate was measured as 37.6
m3/hr (17 L/s). The pond was a turbid green colour,

Pukeiti Gardens. Shame the rain kept us inside but it was still a great day of sharing. A local network is
being set up. More info to come.

Mangawhio and Rotokare fell within band C for
both NOF attributes.
Lake Kaikura had a LakeSPI Index of 66%, falling into the ‘High’ category for lake ecological condition.
This result reflected the dominance of native submerged plants but of relatively limited biodiversity, and
minimal impact by non-native weeds. Lake Kaikura ranked 70th nationally for ecological condition (for
257 rank positions over 323 surveyed lakes). Under the NPS-FM, a Native Condition Index of 52% and

Routine activity was occurring onsite at the time of the inspection. Heavy rain earlier in the day had resulted
in short-term, localised ponding in some areas around the site. All stormwater sumps were clear and free-
flowing. The screens on the sumps in the scrap storage area appeared to have been recently cleaned, and
minimal swarf build-up was …
catchment and a stream
usage survey. In summary, it was concluded that there was minimal use of the
stream for food-gathering or recreational purposes, and that the public health risk
was minimal under heavy rain overflow conditions. The report made several
recommendations (see TRC, 2014).
Wet weather in April 2014, May 2014 and June 2014 raised pond levels but not to
overflow levels indicating that work done to reduce stormwater infiltration and
inflow had had a marked effect.

Discussion was held with the NZ Transport Agency regarding concerns on the
condition of the road surface on SH3 North which has deteriorated following recent
heavy rain making the road hazardous for motorists. The Agency advised the
Committee that a new study of the SH3 route (in

was detected as a result of the recent rainfall events. Fish passage was difficult to assess due to the high
flow of the stream at the time of inspection and this will subsequently be assessed in further inspections
during low flow conditions.
The inspection then focused on the air discharge portion of the consents held by the Company. The
inspection found that a slight to moderate breeze was blowing. The weather was fine at the beginning of
the inspection, however rain had set in
