physicochemical analysis, two bio-monitoring surveys of
receiving waters, and two ambient air quality analyses.
The monitoring showed that site was managed in a proactive and acceptable manner; this was
detailed by the Council’s Inspectorate Officer. Bio-monitoring of the Kapuni Stream also
indicated the stream had little or no measurable adverse effects as a result of the discharges of
storm water from the Site, with the health of the stream rated as ‘good’ to ‘better than
expected’. The
review can be summarised by the following main points:
Surface soils across the site are dominated by semi-porous silty clay-loams, overlying more
impervious clay soils
Soils below 2000 mm have not been characterised
Chloride concentrations in the soil beneath the irrigation zone are highly elevated compared
to non-irrigated areas
The shallow groundwater table is in direct connection with semi-porous loamy silty-clay
Due to high rates of irrigation loading, shallow

measuring, at a minimum of 15 minute intervals, the abstraction rate of water from
the Manganui River and shall make records of such measurements available to the
Chief Executive, at three monthly intervals.
4. That the abstraction shall be managed so as to ensure that when the flow in the

insufficient flow in the
Manganui River. Human error resulted in insufficient flow being released to the Manganui
River, and as a result an infringement notice was issued. Although the performance rating for
the relevant consent is ‘improvement required’ this improvement has already occurred with
improved communications and understanding of the staff and contractor involved.
This is a reflection of the consent holder’s improved systems, and thorough monitoring of a
highly complex scheme.
