2011 Ecological Monitoring Results
The Planning Engineer, Tauranga Presentation (A) outlining the following:
Key Points 2011 Ecological Monitoring Results Ecological Survey Requirements Ecological Sampling Locations Macroinvertebrate Species Types of Macroinvertebrates Plant Life Fish Life.
In Response to Ouestions
City Council (TCC) provided PowerPoint
Insect species had reduced from the previous year due to the January 2011 floods. Most insects in the survey were native species. An abundance of snails were an indication of poor water quality. Trout must be considered under the Resource Management Act and providing a good habitat for trout meant a good habitat for native flora and fauna. Oxygen weed was being monitored as part of the existing stream habit. It was acknowledged that oxygen weed was considered a pest. Water levels were expected to drop up to 100mm at the intake site once the maximum volume of water (60,000m^/day) was being drawn. The purpose of monitoring was to appreciate what was there today to better understand any future impact. Surveys were conducted in February when the Waiari stream was at its lowest level. There was a high turbidity after flooding, however the Waiari cleared quickly.
Action: • The unidentified eel in the fish life survey was to be investigated and reported to
members.

Catchment Management Plan Update
The Water Supply Manager tabled item (1) and outlined the following:
Key Points • The Waiorohi and Tautau Catchment Management Plan was not a formal
requirement but was used as an operational management tool by TCC staff. • The Plan was being edited and had not yet been finalised.
In Response to Questions • Western Bay of Plenty District Council (WBOPDC) had been given the opportunity
to input into the Plan. • A significant portion of the catchment land for the Tautau and Waiorohi Streams
was owned by TCC. • There was a working group between the three Councils to address issues on cross
boundary water quality influences. • A similar document could be drafted closer to the time for the Waiari Stream.

7. Other Business
Construction Timeframe
Key Points • Construction was scheduled for commencement in 2015, however there was a
possibility that this was likely to be delayed by a further 2 to 3 year due to population growth slowing down and the downturn in economy.
• The timing for the project was to be confirmed in TCC's next Ten Year Plan 2012-2022.
• If the project was delayed this would have an impact on the Waiari Kaitiaki Advisory Group.
• The water quality monitoring would continue, however the design work would be put on hold.
• Preliminary designs and geotechnical work had commenced, however no plant design had been undertaken.
Action: • A copy of the TCC and WBOPDC Water Conservation Strategies were to be sent

to members.

2011 Ecological IVIonitoring Results Survey Frequency
• Consent conditions require an ecological survey to be conducted in February for:
- 3 consecutive years before construction;
- 3 consecutive years after abstraction reaches 30,000 cubic metres per day; and
- Once every 5 years.
Ecological Survey Requirements
Ecological survey of fish, insect and plant life; temperature, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen:
- above and below the intake site; and
- above and below the Te Puke wastewater treatment plant discharge site

Types of Macroinvertebrates
• Less total number of macroinvertebrates and less variety of species in 2011
• May be due to flushing effects of January floods
