inspection visits to the site.
Inspection visits typically comprised of:
• a visual inspection of the abstraction bore, production pipework monitoring equipment and
associated infrastructure; and
• obtaining manual measurements of groundwater levels in the abstraction and monitoring bores and
retrieving electronic data.
To monitor the exercising of consent 7470-1.2, abstraction volume and rate data are recorded electronically
at the site by a data logging system and transferred to the
Resource consents held by Renewable Power Ltd

THE BOTTOM LINE
The Council finished the 2017/2018 year with a surplus
of $962,000 (total comprehensive income). Total
expenditure was $26.6m. Overall it was a good result,
noting that the general rates increases have been at or
below the rate of inflation for the past few years (a 1%
general rates increase in 2017/2018). The Council’s
balance sheet remains very strong, with no public debt.

some minor issue in regards to
abstraction rates during the brief intermittent periods of low flow restrictions in the Patea
River, however, no environmental effects were noted.
During the year, SDC demonstrated a high level of environmental performance. However
SDC demonstrated a poor level of administrative performance due to the fact, that despite
repeated reminders by Council staff, renewal applications for the weirs in the Konini Stream
and Patea River, and for the backwash discharge

consents to discharge effluent and solids to land, two consents for structures in watercourses, and one
consent to discharge emissions into the air at the plant site.
Monitoring is carried out by both the Company and the Council. The Company monitors water abstraction
rate, effluent flow rate and composition, receiving water quality, odour at the plant boundaries, effluent
loadings and soil and herbage for irrigation areas. The Council undertakes inspections …
