The monitoring indicated the following:
The discharge of cooling water recorded an increasing ammonia concentration throughout the monitoring
period, though the impact to the Inaha stream was minimal. The thermal effect of the plant discharges were
within the thermal limits for the duration of the monitoring year. The abstraction of surface water and
groundwater was undertaken within compliance standards for the duration of the year. The dilution rate for

these changes. A later consultant’s report (in 2000) re-confirmed trends (using up-dated
methodology) that the lake was phosphorus limited and remained mesotrophic. Further
trend reporting for the period 1990-2006 was provided as a component of the consents
renewal process and suggested that while there has been a very slow rate of increase in
trophic level, the lake would be classified as

In the 2016-2017 year there were no unauthorised incidents related to discharges from any consent holders
in the Lower Waiwhakaiho area.
During the year, Downer EDI Works Ltd demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative
performance with their resource
exceeded six of the 12 samples
collected, while Downer EDI exceeded one sample from 10. The highest result during the year
under review was obtained by one of the Fitzroy Engineering Group Ltd gauges, which was
more than twice the guideline rate. The guideline reflects a deposition rate that may cause
complaints in a residential area.

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by
the consent holder during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating as
to the Company’s environmental and administrative performance.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving
environment
