Title: Timaru's District Wide Sewer Strategy Author Title: Timaru’s District Wide Sewer Strategy Author: Ashley Harper, Timaru District Council Abstract: Timaru’s District Wide Sewer Strategy Key Words: Wastewater Strategy, Working Party, Community, Oxidation Ponds, Wetlands, Trunk Sewers, Tunnels Introduction The Timaru District has four main urban areas, namely Timaru, and the inland towns of Geraldine, Pleasant Point and Temuka, with each of these areas having a traditional piped sewer network. The total population served within these urban areas is 40,000. #:872456 Since 1987 Timaru’s wastewater had been treated via a 0.5 milliscreening plant and associated ocean outfall, while each of the three inland towns utilised oxidation ponds and river discharge as the wastewater treatment and disposal process. In 1996 the Timaru District Council initiated a review of the respective wastewater treatment and disposal strategies, primarily because of emerging environmental and regulatory issues. Council supported a community based approach to identifying a preferred strategy, noting that the strategy needed to be robust and viable and to recognise the unique nature of the Timaru District’s effluent. Compliance with proposed environmental standards was a non negotiable requirement. Wastewater Working Party The community based approach involved the appointment of an experienced facilitator (Gay Pavelka) and the formation of a Wastewater Working Party in 1997. Membership of the working party was made up of representatives of the following organisations: Timaru District Council Community Boards Federated Farmers Chamber of Commerce Industrial Dischargers Royal Forest and Bird Society Central South Island Fish & Game Council Tangata Whenua National Council of Women Crown Public Health Invited observers represented: Environment Canterbury Department of Conservation/Aoraki Conservation Board Timaru District Council Planning Unit The Wastewater Working Party were supported by Timaru District Council engineering and asset management staff and by specialist consultants such as Beca, Pattle Delamore and Mitchel Partnerships. Meetings were held approximately every six weeks, usually at the end of the normal working day and site visits to existing treatment sites in the Timaru District and in neighbouring districts were made. Consultation Objectives The consultation objectives were wide ranging and specifically covered the following issues: To include Runanga in the decision making process in accordance with the roles prescribed in the RMA. To ensure that the community’s spectrum of views was included in fairly held discussion about wastewater issues and options. To ensure all the wastewater issues that affect the community were identified and understood, sound information was available and a range of options were evaluated objectively. That the desired outcome was a consensus recommendation to the TDC from the range of interests in the Community. #:872456 Te Runanga O Arowhenua chose to join the WWP in addition to holding several consultation hui. Meetings also took place between TDC representatives, Te Runanga O Arowhenua (Resource Management Committee) and Te Runanga O Ngai Tahu, on a number of occasions. A Summary of Understanding was reached between Timaru District Council, Te Runanga O Arowhenua Trust and Te Runanga O Ngai Tahu on 13 October 1999. The intention was to confirm how land disposal can remain a future option for disposing of treated wastewater (given that an ocean outfall is currently seen as the likely best practicable option). Consultation Details Between 1997 and 2000 TDC also maintained an 0800 number for people to use, published a number of articles in the “Timaru Herald”, “High Country Herald” and “Temuka Leader”, and sent regular newsletters to residents near the proposed treatment plant on Aorangi Road and adjacent to the Inland Towns pipeline route. To facilitate further feedback, thirty thousand pamphlets with a questionnaire were delivered to all households in the Timaru District and 1041 questionnaires were returned by September 1999. Results indicated around 80% support for the proposed wastewater management option. Following preparation of the draft 2002 AEE, several meetings were held with residents living near to the Waste Water Treatment Plant on Aorangi and Meadows Roads. Representatives from TDC and Beca again met with residents from Aorangi and Meadows Roads in December 2006. The meeting was facilitated by Gay Pavelka who was also involved in the Wastewater Working Party process. The consultation process described above achieved the following: Agreement on community goals and standards any wastewater system must satisfy. Confirmation of the issues to be addressed. A range of wastewater management options to consider. Agreement on the wastewater system to recommend to TDC (and subsequently TDC acceptance of this recommendation). A proposed trade waste strategy aimed at giving industry certainty and the broader community a higher standard of treated trade wastewater. Interest from WWP members in continuing discussion with TDC, when other community issues are being addressed. Community Consultation on the Timaru Wastewater Management Strategy continues on an ‘as required’ basis. Liaison meetings are held with the major industrial discharger group to discuss implications of industrial wastewater treatment proposals and the trade waste charging framework. Discussions with individual industries are also on-going on the specific details of each industrial discharge including potential growth and on-site treatment options. Regulatory Environment The emerging regulatory environment in 1998 included the Canterbury Regional Council proposed Opihi River Regional Plan (ORRP) and the Minister of Conservation proposed National Coastal Policy Statement (NCPS). The ORRP would prohibit the discharge, either directly or indirectly, of human waste to natural waterways. This would therefore apply to the Pleasant Point and Temuka oxidation pond discharges and would likely also apply to the Geraldine oxidations pond discharge. The NCPS would exclude the disposal of treated human effluent to the ocean unless it has passed through or via land. #:872456 Timaru District Wastewater Characteristics – Flow and Loadings The Timaru urban wastewater stream is unique in that it has a 40:60 volume ratio between domestic and commercial/industrial wastewater and an approximate 10:90 strength ratio. The main contributing industries connected to the Timaru urban sewer network are: Meat Processing Fish Processing Vegetable Processing Brewing Pelts Processing Wools Scouring Rendering Most of these industries are located in the Washdyke and Port areas. The existing wastewater milliscreening plant is located just North of Washdyke. The three inland towns have reasonably standard domestic wastewater characteristics with all urban areas experiencing the addition of significant amounts of rainwater during and after rain events. #:872456 Location of WWTP and Outfall Technical Studies and Reports A review by Beca was undertaken which confirmed the strategy of separating the Timaru domestic and industrial flows and identified technically feasible treatment options that would achieve the performance standards that will likely be required for continued discharge through the Timaru ocean outfall. The review prepared initial cost estimates for each of a number of different treatment options. The cost estimates for the preferred option were updated to 2008 costs before a final binding decision was made. A beach-user survey was carried out in 2009. The reconvened Wastewater Liaison Group considered a draft AEE and limited further public consultation was carried out. Field investigations and consultation on the effects of the ocean outfall were carried out, prior to the submission of an ocean outfall renewal consent application. This application was submitted 10 months before the application would need to be submitted, in order to continue discharging after the consent expiry date of December 2010. Immediately South of Temuka, located between the Opihi and the Temuka Rivers is the small rural settlement of Arowhenua. Within this settlement are historic wastewater disposal issues. The Water Services Sanitary Assessment on the Arowhenua community identified that no Council wastewater systems serviced the Arowhenua community, and that a very strong community preference to increase the level of service existed. There were a number of on- site wastewater system failures, notably the school and the marae. A number of preliminary options were investigated by TDC in 2005. All property owners in the area were contacted and provided with an information pack and a public meeting was #:872456 held in April 2006. Following this meeting a Working Party was established consisting of representatives from Timaru District Council, Te Puni Kokiri, Te Runanga O Arowhenua and later Opus International Consultants. The outcome of this sub strategy was that a local wastewater system was installed within the Arowhenua Community area. The system consists of a grinder pump at each house and pressure pipes to a centralised pump station. This main pump station then discharges to the Temuka oxidation ponds. There are currently 42 connections within the scheme. Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Strategy The Wastewater Working Party was set up to provide community input to the development of this Strategy where the following strategies where recommended: Upgrading of the Inland Towns Wastewater Treatment Plants

  • Timaru District Economic Development Strategy 2015-2035
    Timaru District Economic Development Strategy 2015-2035 1 Introduction Timaru is an area of enviable lifestyle and business opportunity. Located in the centre of the South Island it is a gateway to some of New Zealand’s most pristine and visited natural attractions. It is on the doorstep to the largest population centre in the South Island – Christchurch and surrounds. Timaru District, which is the economic hub of South Canterbury, has a population of 44,000 and has a higher than average standard of living when compared to the rest of New Zealand. (The broader are of South Canterbury has a population of 54,000, and includes the Timaru, Waimate and Mackenzie Districts, between the Rangitata and Waitaki rivers.) The elected leaders of Timaru District have expressed a strong and visionary desire to maintain, or even increase, this standard of living through stimulating and supporting sustainable business growth over the long term. This, they believe, will enhance and build on the lifestyle opportunities that are on offer in Timaru District leading to a much stronger (and more self-determining) future profile for the area. This strategy has been developed in consultation with the elected members of Timaru District Council and the directors of the Aoraki Development Business and Tourism (ADBT). While many of the actions are currently underway this strategy provides a ‘new direction’ which pulls together these and a number of new actions all heading towards the same goal. This strategy was adopted by Timaru District Council in February 2015 and is now available for public feedback. Notes: 1.

  • Emergency Management, Opuha Dam Collapse, Waitangi Day 1997
    Emergency management, Opuha Dam collapse, Waitangi Day 1997 Philip Lees1 and David Thomson2 The partially completed Opuha Dam near Fairlie in South Canterbury failed at about 1.00 am on 6 February 1997, releasing about 13 million cubic metres of water into the Opuha Riverbed. The developing Civil Defence emergency is described, showing how rapidly a situation could change to one of high hazard. This experience has reinforced views that: effective emergency management plans must be in place for large dams, both during and after construction; emergency procedures need to be activated early and when there are several hours of daylight left; dam-site staff must give an honest appraisal of a potential emergency situation, and in turn must provide accurate information to emergency management organisations. Recommendations are given for the scope of emergency management plans for the now-completed Opuha Dam and for other dams during their construction. Keywords: Opuha Dam, dam breach, river capacity, volume of water, impounded. Introduction Waitangi Day, 6 February, 1997 is a day that will remain on the minds of flood warning staff of Environment Canterbury (ECan) probably for the rest of their lives. The partially completed Opuha Dam near Fairlie in South Canterbury failed at about 1.00 am that morning, releasing about 13 million cubic metres of water into the Opuha Riverbed (Figure 1). Fortunately no lives were lost although in the days that followed there were stories of a number of very close escapes: campers scrambling through riverside berm areas with trees crashing around them and farmers in the same situation trying to shift stock.

  • Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington
    Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington September 2017 ISBN 978-0-9941409-4-4 (PDF) Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington About the Author As an American living in New Zealand, I’ve been observing the debate here on immigration and multiculturalism. I arrived in Wellington last year with my Kiwi husband and three-year old son – and while settling in we’ve spent a lot of time discovering the delights of the city and its people. The experience also gave me some perspective on being a migrant far from home. I have a professional interest in South East Asian history, languages and culture - I just completed a PhD on the subject. I speak some Filipino, and am fascinated by the Philippines’ complex history. One of the major phenomena in the Philippines since the 1970s has been the growth of the global Filipino diaspora. That story has often been full of sadness. So I was intrigued by anecdotes of positivity and success from Wellington. Writing about how the migrant Filipino community has settled in New Zealand has been more than just a research project. It has highlighted how migration plays a role in community building. It also has meaning for me and my family’s future here. I really wanted to share some of the stories that I think reflect successful outcomes from immigration over the past thirty years.

  • Farmers' Market – a Community
    April 2016 Farmers’ Market – a community hub At a recent Project Wairarapa workshop to nurture resilience and sustainability in our town, I joined interested parties from all backgrounds to nut out ideas, create a framework, and construct an informed plan. We left on a high (too much coffee?) feeling we’d done our bit for the town. It was reassuring to feel the love in the room for the Farmers’ Market and its role in a resilient community and it left me thinking about its future. To date we have grown, overcome obstacles and tried new ideas with an overall goal merely to exist. But what are our core goals and what is our mission? After much contemplation I realised that the market should be about developing a hub – somewhere people can go to share their day. The market isn’t only for stallholders, regular customers or passing visitors. It’s a community event. We love that people can come for many reasons – make or spend some cash, speak on the Toastmasters stand to discuss issues important to them Roger Clarke yarns with Kevin and Jill Shipp at Carterton’s Farmers’ Market. or have a community stall to raise funds or awareness for Photo Don Farr. local causes; even just for somewhere to grab a coffee and say hi to others. We will continue to work with the Project Wairarapa team. Although the Farmers’ Market offers something for everyone within the community, resilience is not just about having food and supplies in an emergency – it also ensures that people interact, and know and support one another.
