HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL
COUNCIL
Māori
Committee
Tuesday 04 June 2019
Subject: Consented Discharges to
the Marine Environment
Reason for Report
1. This item provides a summary of the resource consents and compliance
monitoring major resource consents to discharge wastewater into the coastal
environment.
Background
2. There are a number of resource consents that provide for the
discharge of waste water into the coastal environment.
3. The principal waste water discharges are the Napier, Hastings and
Wairoa municipal wastewater discharges and the PanPac timber and pulp mill
discharge.
4. Other discharges do occur into the coastal environment these include
Napier stormwater.
5. The activities are generally operating within compliance of their
resource consents with the exception of Wairoa. The failings of the Napier and
PanPac outfalls is that there are leaks in their pipes before the diffusers.
Napier City Council
6. The NCC has
discharged wastewater at this location since 1973 when a new outfall and
comminutor station (to cut up solids) was built. The milli-screening plant was
commissioned in 1991. The biological trickling filter plants were
commissioned in 2014.
7. The industrial
and domestic waste streams are mostly separated. The industrial stream made up
24% of the waste stream and the domestic and non-separable industrial stream
made up the balance at the time of application (2009). Currently the Pandora
industrial area is being conveyed and treated as part of the domestic waste
stream due to blockages within the industrial pipe servicing this area. The
industrial stream is screened at source (5mm screen) then at the Awatoto site (1mm).
The domestic stream and non-separable industrial waste water is milli-screened
to 1 mm, sand and grit less than 1 mm is settled via a grit removal
facility and then the waste is treated via two biological trickling filter
plants (BTF). The treated domestic and non-separable industrial stream effluent
is channelled through a rock (Rakahore) channel to provide contact with the
earth before being combined with the industrial stream and discharged.
8. Air is
extracted from the BTF and other components of the waste water treatment
process and is discharged via a bio filter.
9. The waste water
is discharged to the ocean via an outfall structure that extends approximately
1.5 km off shore in 11 metres of water. A diffuser with 52 ports was installed
in 1972. This has been modified with 20 cm risers and new ports added to
replace blocked or failing ports. The structure and its ongoing maintenance is
a permitted activity as is the occupation of the CMA by the structure.
10. The resource consent
allows a discharge of an annual average volume of 32,000m³/day and a
maximum discharge rate of 1400 litres/second. An initial dilution of 100:1 is
anticipated when the wastewater plume reaches the sea surface. A mixing
zone of 300m from the diffuser is provided. There is reported to be no
detectable toxicity after dilution of 200:1.
11. The diffuser is to be
inspected in order to ensure it is maintained in good condition. Continuous
monitoring is required of the waste water stream to record the rate of
discharge. Monitoring samples of 31 analytes are to be taken of the
wastewater stream before the discharge, quarterly. Sediment samples are to be
taken from the seabed at specified locations twice a year. Samples are to be
taken of the seawater at specified distances from the diffuser, quarterly. A
benthic survey is to be carried out five yearly. A quantitative microbial
risk assessment (QMRA) of the risk to shell fish at Town Reef was required and
was done in 2016. All monitoring is to be included in a report and the results
analysed.
Compliance
12. Compliance status for the
2015-16 and 2016-17 years was non-compliant. Monitoring was not complete
and there were exceedances of the BOD limits. The 2017-18 monitoring
report records the activity as compliant. The one action required was
that NCC “ensure the buoys and signage required by condition 29 is
installed and maintained”. There was however a reported leak from the
outfall away from the diffuser. This leak could not be repaired and
continues. It has been described as a thumb sized hole and smaller than a
diffuser port. Monitoring has been occurring to pick up any effect of
this discharge.
13. Discussions will be
required to determine how this leak is to be repaired or accommodated.
There is a need to follow up on the findings of the QMRA. NCC is
currently carrying out a study of mussels to examine whether they are being
contaminated from the outfall. These have been set around the diffuser
and a locations further away including off the Town Reef. The results of
this study will be reported when completed.
Hastings District Council
14. The HDC (and its
predecessors) have discharged wastewater to the ocean at this location since
1938. The initial outfall was a short one. The longer offshore outfall
was constructed in 1980. “Clean” fruit and vegetable processing
waste continued to be discharge via the short outfall until 1992. The
milli-screening plant was commissioned in 1994. The BTF plants were
installed in 2009 and were covered in 2011. The diffuser was replaced in 2017.
15. The industrial and
domestic waste streams are separated to an extent. The industrial stream
made up 50% of the waste stream (and 80% of the solids) and the domestic and
non-separable industrial stream made up the balance at the time of the resource
consent application (2013). The industrial stream is treated on site at
individual premises to comply with the Trade Waste Bylaw, then passed through a
1 mm screen at the Clive site and then combined with the domestic and
non-separable stream. The domestic and non-separable industry stream is
screened through a 3 mm screen at the Clive site, then treated via two
biological trickling filter plants (BTF) and then passed through a rock passage
(Rakahore passage) before joining the industrial wastewater stream. The
combined stream is passed through a grit removal unit and then discharged.
16. The waste water is
discharged to the ocean via an outfall structure that extends approximately
2.75 km off shore. There is a 300m long diffuser with 100 ports 52 of which
were open at the time of the application in 2013 to achieve 100:1 dilution at
the surface. The diffuser was replaced in 2015.
17. The resource consent
provides for a 52,070m³/day 75%ile wastewater flow rate and a maximum
discharge rate of 2,800 litres/second. An initial dilution of 100:1 is
anticipated when the wastewater plume reaches the sea surface. A mixing
zone of 750m from the centre point of the diffuser is provided. The
diffuser is to be inspected at least annually in order to ensure it is
maintained in good condition.
18. Continuous
monitoring is required of the waste water stream to record the rate of
discharge. Monitoring samples of 28 analytes are to be taken of the
wastewater stream before the discharge, quarterly. Samples to test toxicity of
the final combined wastewater to at least three marine species are to be
undertaken quarterly. Sediment samples are to be taken from the seabed at
specified locations twice a year. Samples are to be taken quarterly of
the seawater at specified distances from the diffuser, and analysed for faecal
coliform and enterococci. A benthic survey is to be carried out at the 8th,
17th and 26th year following the date of issue of the
resource consent. Signs are to be placed on bouys marking the diffuser
reading “Shellfish unfit for human consumption”. All monitoring is
to be included in a report and the results analysed annually.
19. Explanation
for the conditions proposed and adopted at the time of consenting included the
following.
19.1. “The inclusion in
the recommended conditions of consent of end of pipe standards for heavy metal
concentrations in the proposed discharge will provide a 95% level of protection
for species (ANZECC 2000). This ensures that the proposed discharge will
ensure that the life supporting capacity of water in the coastal marine area is
safeguarded.” OR pg 16
19.2. “The suggested
toxicity condition (attachment 2 to be provided on the day of the meeting) has
been prepared in conjunction with Mr Chris Hickey, a leading toxicology expert
from NIWA, and has been discussed with the HBRC. The suggested toxicity
condition provides for an adaptive management approach to monitoring toxicity
with series of escalating actions required if monitoring results deem it
necessary.” HDC TW wastewater joint committee pg 5
Compliance
20. Compliance
reports for the past three reporting years 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 have
reported full compliance with the conditions.
21. HDC in their
resource consent application (pg Fig 3) refer to continuing with and further
implementing various HDC asset management policies and strategies including for
example a policy to encourage beneficial reuse of treated waste water and
HDC’s water conservation and demand management strategy and infiltration
and inflow management.
22. HDC sought and
obtained a 35 year consent. In requesting this they indicated that they
would be undertaking a comprehensive review every 9 years. The intention
is to assess growth/changes in wastewater and contaminant loadings and predictions,
changes in environmental procedures and identification of any new treatment
technologies, operating procedures and opportunities for beneficial use of
(treated) wastewater and other matters. The aim is to ensure appropriate
enhancements in terms of a Best Practicable Option (BPO) are made to the Scheme
throughput the duration of the consent.
Wairoa District Council
23. The WDC constructed the
Wairoa wastewater treatment plant in 1980. Prior to that the towns’ raw
sewage was discharged into the Wairoa River.
24. Sewage is collected by
gravity and then pumped at various stages by four pumping stations to a final
pumping station where it is shredded before being pumped to the treatment
plant. The effluent passes through an aeration lagoon then an oxidation
pond. The waste stream is discharged via a diffuser into the Wairoa River
estuary close to the river mouth. The diffuser sits about 3.5 m below
water level.
25. The resource consent was
issued in 1999 and expires on 31 May 2019. An application has been lodged
to replace this resource consent. It was lodged six months in advance to
allow the existing activity to have s124 rights. This allows the activity
to continue as conditioned beyond the expiry date while the new application is
being processed until the decision is final.
26. The resource consent
provides for a discharge of 5,400 m³/day of wastewater. Discharge rate is
reported to be between 100 L/s and 200 L/s depending on the water level in the
oxidation pond. The discharge is to occur on the ebb tide and between the
hours of 6pm and 6am (night time falling tide). If the mouth closes,
discharge is to cease unless storage has been or is likely to be
exceeded. (HBRC is responsible for opening the mouth.)
27. Continuous monitoring is
required of the waste water stream to record the times and rate of
discharge. Monitoring samples of 7 analytes are to be taken of the
wastewater stream before the discharge, monthly. Standards are set for
COD, total ammonia and suspended solids.
Compliance
28. The compliance report for
2018 – 2019 records significant non-compliance with the conditions.
Reasons include an unconsented discharge from an overflow pipe into the Wairoa
River; discharges outside the tidal times; exceedances of COD and TSS limits
and failure to carry out follow up sampling and investigations.
29. As mentioned WDC are in
the process of applying for a replacement consent. An application was lodged
for the discharge from the overflow pipe prior to the replacement consent
application and this has been integrated into the current application. Other
aspects of non-compliance will be reviewed as part of the consent replacement
process. WDC has been directed to establish a process to ensure follow up
reporting monitoring in the event of monitored non-compliance with the
standards set.
PanPac
30. PanPac discharge effluent
from processes associated with the manufacture of wood pulp, lumber, and an
associated landfill. The activity was established in 1973. The process,
the waste stream and the discharge distance offshore has been modified since
then.
31. The resource consent
(CD160286W) for this activity was issued by the Environment Court in February
2017. The consent was originally processed as a change of condition to
allow extension of the outfall pipe in order to allow mixing of the waste
stream over a longer diffuser and at greater depth to avoid any conspicuous
change in colour beyond the mixing zone. The resource consent expired in
December 2017 and PanPac is continuing to operate under this consent (via s124)
while a replacement consent is being processed via direct referral to the
Environment Court. The Court is sitting on the 8 April to hear
this.
32. The resource consent
provides for a discharge of 15,000 m³/day of treated wastewater. The
diffuser is required to achieve 1:500 dilution at the mixing zone limit of
150m. Conditions are set to limit PH, temperature, suspended solids,
enterococci. Continuous monitoring is required of the waste water stream
to record the daily discharge volumes, PH, temperature, suspended solids.
The diffuser is to be inspected monthly. Toxicity testing is required 6
monthly, COD and BOD is to be sampled fortnightly. Mussel monitoring study
required. Mana Whenua Kaitiaki Liaison Group to be established (unless mana
whenua do not wish to be involved).
33. The conditions described
above will be replaced by the new resource consent conditions proposed to the
Environment Court. Many of these will continue and some new conditions are
proposed. These include a 10 yearly review of the developing technologies
available for treating this waste stream and consideration of adopting
these. Also an Environmental Trust is proposed which will provide funding
towards cultural and environmental projects relevant to the tangata whenua and
to the area adjacent to the outfall.
Compliance
34. PanPac has been compliant
with its resource consent conditions over the past year except for the failure
of the outfall pipe. The pipe has developed a crack at the land sea edge
and is leaking treated wastewater at this point. PanPac is in the process of
repairing this. In previous years prior to extending the outfall structure
PanPac was non-compliant with the condition to avoid conspicuous change in
water colour. This has now been rectified.
Affco meat processing plant
35. The Affco plant has been
operating at Wairoa since 1916. Resource consents for the discharge go
back to before the RMA commenced in 1991. Resource consents provide for
the discharge of treated meat works and fellmongery wastewater into the river
as well as for discharges of stormwater and discharges to the air.
36. For the wastewater the
main waste stream sources are stockyards and truckwash, fellmongery wastes and
floor washings. Human effluent from the site is diverted to the WDC sewerage
treatment plant.
37. Waste is initially
screened and passed through processes to remove solids and fats and then put
through a neutralisation stage and a clarification stage before being
discharged to the river. Discharge to the Wairoa River is via a diffuser that
is located in the bed of the river. The discharge is conditioned to only to
occur on an outgoing tide and for no more than 4 hours. A separate condition
requires that the discharge complies with the Discharge Management Manual that
is attached to the resource consent.
38. The Discharge Management Manual includes the following objectives:
38.1. to maintain the operating capacity of the wastewater treatment plant
38.2. to ensure that the discharge of treated wastewater reaches the sea
38.3. to discharge to the river in a manner that causes the least possible
impact on the recreational users of the Wairoa River
39. Included in the management plan discharge protocols is the commitment
to discharge 30 minutes after high tide and to discharge during night hours.
(Outside the hours of 7am to 6pm April – November and 6.30am to 7pm
December to March).
40. The discharge can occur at an average rate of 2500 cubic metres per
hour and a maximum volume of 7000 cubic meters of wastewater can be discharged
per outgoing tide.
41. Other conditions require monitoring. Sampling is required of pH,
temperature, total grease, cBOD5, suspended solids, total ammonia-nitrogen,
total hydrogen sulphide and faecal coliform bacteria concentrations before the
point of discharge. Standards are set for all these parameters except for
faecal coliform. The standards as expressed in the Objectives of the Management
Manual are intended to ensure that the water is within the contact recreation
standards after allowing for mixing.
Compliance
42. The latest (interim) compliance report for 2018-19
has reported a significant non-compliance in relation to the stock yard runoff.
This should be captured and discharged via the waste treatment and discharge
system but was observed to be discharging via the stormwater system. Other
non-compliances were observed in relation to flow meter verification, diffuser
inspections and repair reporting, ensuring sampling is undertaken every 7 days,
ammonia-nitrate standard exceedances, repeat study of the dilution rate, study
of Dissolved oxygen concentrations in the Wairoa River condition 31 study.
There is opportunity to rectify some of these before the end of the compliance
year. Any remaining areas of non-compliance will need to be addressed as soon
as possible after that.

HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL
COUNCIL
Māori
Committee
Tuesday 04 June 2019
Subject: Statutory Advocacy
Update
Reason for Report
1. To report on proposals forwarded to the Regional Council and
assessed by staff acting under delegated authority as part of the
Council’s Statutory Advocacy project since 9 April 2019.
2. The Statutory Advocacy project (Project 196) centres on resource
management-related proposals upon which the Regional Council has an opportunity
to make comments or to lodge a submission. These include, but are not limited
to:
2.1. resource consent applications publicly notified by a territorial
authority,
2.2. district plan reviews or district plan changes released by a
territorial authority,
2.3. private plan change requests publicly notified by a territorial
authority,
2.4. notices of requirements for designations in district plans,
2.5. non-statutory strategies, structure plans, registrations, etc
prepared by territorial authorities, government ministries or other agencies
involved in resource management.
3. In all cases, the Regional Council is not the
decision-maker, applicant nor proponent. In the Statutory Advocacy project, the
Regional Council is purely an agency with an opportunity to make comments or
lodge submissions on others’ proposals. The Council’s position in
relation to such proposals is informed by the Council’s own Plans,
Policies and Strategies, plus its land ownership or asset management interests.
4. The summary outlines those proposals that the Council’s
Statutory Advocacy project is currently actively engaged in. This
period’s update report excludes the numerous Marine and Coastal Area Act
proceedings little has changed since the previous update.

HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL
Māori
Committee
Tuesday 04 June 2019
Subject: Presentation from
Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd
Reason for Report
1. Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, Napier City Council, Hastings
District Council, Wairoa District Council and Central Hawke’s Bay
District Council have statutory and regulatory consent requirements that lead
at some point to engagement and consultation with tāngata whenua.
2. Notwithstanding a functional role difference between Regional and
District or City Councils, engagement with tāngata whenua, iwi and
hapū is often fraught with difficulty. This can be as simple as not
knowing who to engage with from a council perspective to a lack of specialty or
technical knowledge and capacity across tāngata whenua to contribute to or
respond to council.
3. Mahaanui Kurataiao is a charitable resource and environmental
management advisory company established in 2007 by six Papatipu Rūnanga to
assist and improve the recognition and protection of tāngata whenua values
in their takiwā. Mahaanui Kurataiao is acknowledged by local government in
that rohe as the preeminent ‘go to’ place for consents on behalf of
those papatipu.
4. This report is to give profile to Mahaanui Kurataiao as an operating
model worthy of our attention, investigation and potential import/adaptation to
Hawkes Bay region.
Background
5. In November 2018 Te Pou Whakarae attended the Special Interest Group
Māori (SIG Māori) held at Environment
Canterbury, Christchurch. Mahaanui Kurataiao presented at the SIG. In early
2019 the HBRC Māori Standing Committee (MSC) was appraised in very general
terms of Mahaanui Kurataiao.
6. Te Pou Whakarae met recently with his conterpart at Bay of Plenty
Regional Council, Kataraina O’Brien. Bay of Plenty and Tauranga Moana
have moved to adopt and adapt Mahaanui Kurataiao across their rohe. Last month
the Chief Executive of Mahaanui Kurataiao, Tania Wati, visited Bay of Plenty to
profile and assist that region’s understanding of Mahaanui Kurataiao.
7. At the 9 April 2019 MSC, this committee directed Te Pou Whakarae and
the Māori Partnerships Team to arrange for Mahaanui Kurataiao to present
to MSC.
8. A copy of the Mahaanui Kurataiao presentation has been included in
our meeting pack today to give more insight into the model and to prepare us
for a presentation and workshop with Mahaanui Kurataiao on Tuesday 6 August
2019 (next MSC day).
9. An invitation to attend the 6 August session will be sent to
Regional Planning Committee tangata whenua members. A 2nd half day session with
elected councillors and local government agencies is planned with the Mahaanui
Kurataiao team on Wednesday 7th August 2019. Venues t.b.c
Decision Making
Process
10. This paper does not
require a decision today. It merely informs you of the 6th August
2019 presentation and workshop with Mahaanui Kurataiao. Between now and then we
would encourage you familiarise with:
10.1. Your Iwi Environmental
Management Plan and how well integrated that is in your business relationship
with local government
10.2. Highlights or issues in
regard to current consenting practices with council
10.3. Local in-house
capacity/capability in this regard and more broadly the demand/supply conundrum
that generally besets tāngata whenua
|
Recommendation
That the Māori Committee receives the “Presentation from Mahaanui
Kurataiao Ltd” and notes the presentation and workshop with Chief
Executive Tania Wati on Tuesday 6 August 2019. Venue to be confirmed.
