continuous and noticeable; and
5 = putrid.
The strength of odour beyond the boundaries of the WWTP site appears to be governed largely by weather
conditions. Odour is strongest under calm condition, when aerial emissions from the pond accumulate. This
effect is accentuated when it is overcast, as vertical mixing with ambient air is reduced, and under warm
temperatures, when odour-generating bacteria in the pond are most active. Effects may be exacerbated by
reduction in aeration capacity
Stream. The stream was in fresh conditions at the time of inspection and
the final pond discharge rate was estimated to be 15 L/s. No adverse environmental impacts were observed
downstream of the discharge point due to the turbid stream conditions. Minimal microbial activity was
observed on both of the ponds due to the cooler weather and the pond level was approximately 580 mm.
The consent holder has kept the Council fully informed with the progress of the land irrigation programme.

Papatiki Stream in the north, to the Waiau Stream in the south, depending on the tides,
weather and season. The coastline provided Ngāti Mutunga tūpuna with most of the
resources they needed to survive.
Reefs and sandy shallows off the coast provided kōura, pāua, kina, kūtae/kuku, tipa,
pūpū, pāpaka, tuatua, oti, and many other species of kaimoana. Hāpuku moki, kanae,
mako, pātiki and tāmure swam in great numbers between the many reefs which can be
surface as sandy topsoil had been eroded in areas where pasture cover
remained patchy. These mud clumps were weathering well.

A site inspection was conducted in conjunction with groundwater sampling. The site
appeared largely abandoned with poor vegetation establishment at the seaward side of
the site. Bore GND2288 could not be sampled as no water was present and the bore
required maintenance. Bore GND2287 appeared to have been hit / knocked

Beach is a fantastic to place to cool off in this
awesome weather we’re having! Just a reminder for those
going for a dip that you shouldn’t be venturing more than 200
metres from the shore. Most people stay close but some long-
distance swimmers can head out a bit further and stray
outside the yellow buoys (see inset) which can be dangerous
as it’s the area outside the 5 knot speed limit for boats. Let’s
stay safe this summer – check out the signs near the beach for
more info on the
nuanced definitions that take into
account what is an acceptable risk, consideration of the seasonal changes, the relationship to extreme
weather events etc., but the impacts of such complexity must be interpreted and communicated clearly …
