The Wastewater Manager, Mr James advised that the purpose of the report was to present the Annual Wastewater Resource Compliance Report and provide an update on key wastewater activities. A requirement of the new consent was the preparation of an Annual Compliance Report. The purpose of Annual Compliance Report was to assess compliance with the conditions of the resource consent (CD130214W).

The Wastewater Treatment Manager, Mr McWilliams displayed a powerpoint presentation (CG-14-15-00004) highlighting the following points: · The Current Discharge consent requires an annual inspection, which costs approximately $3000.00 per annum. · The consent for the installation of the new diffuser requires an inspection of the old diffuser to ensure it remains in place. · Looking to use side scan sonar to initially plot the position of the old diffuser which will become the reference point. · The new diffuser would also be scanned in order to be able to identify any movement. · A scan of the outfall pipeline would be undertaken looking for leaks or debris that may foul the pipeline. |
|
Mr James also advised that there was provision under the Resource Management Act to review the consent document. Officers were currently working through some minor consent condition revisions with the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council.
It was also proposed that the toxicity testing be changed to annual testing from quarterly testing. The testing was very expensive at $10,000 per test.
In regard to the new Health and Safety Act a tour of the Wastewater Treatment Plant had been organised for elected members to visit the facility on 20 March 2018. Mr James advised that if members wished to have a more informed visit of the facility this could be arranged.
