for the NGI000174 second post-fracturing survey. There was a substantial decrease in
taxa richness at the ‘control’ site between the first and second post-fracturing surveys
which would be unrelated to any wellsite discharges and probably due to a
combination of high flows and stream typology. There had been significant amounts of
rain prior to sampling and river flows had exceeded 50 x median base flow on three
separate occasions in the ten days prior to sampling. The ‘control’ site is

abstraction
The Company monitors the volume of water abstracted. Groundwater level monitoring was instituted as a
requirement of consent 9608-1.2, held by DR Wilson for abstraction of groundwater at a location across the
Waitōtara River for irrigation of pasture land. Consent 9608-1.2 requires that abstraction ceases if the water
levels in the Company supply bores GND0585 and GND1195 fall below 104 m and 109 m respectively.
Consent 2261-3.1 requires that the Company record continuous water
latest survey period was lower than normal in
comparison with historical surveys. The total number of samples falling within the “Alert” or “Action”
categories (39% of samples) across the 16 recognised bathing sites was among the highest recorded.
However, it should be noted that the “Action” category is the only category for which swimming is not
recommended. In the 2018-2019 season, 79% of all samples met the national bathing guideline. Of the 21%
of samples that exceeded the
