the Stratford Power Station continued to be well managed with negligible
environmental effects as a process of the exercise of their consents.
Surface water abstraction was compliant with daily rate and volume. Process water discharges were
compliant with consent defined parameters. Surface water monitoring indicated negligible impacts from the
discharge of process waters.
The thermal tolerances within the receiving waters were not exceeded for the duration of the monitoring

Trend
analysis has been carried out using the LWP-Trends library R package (version 1901), developed by Land
Water People Ltd. (Snelder and Fraser, 2019). The methods employed have the primary purpose of
establishing the direction and rate of any trend, along with a measure of the uncertainty in the result. Trend
analysis is undertaken using the last 10 years of monitoring data (1 July 2010 to 30 June 2020) when the
following criteria have been satisfied:
