The manner in which effluent and sludge is treated and/or discharged can make a difference as to whether or
not there is an adverse effect on the receiving environment. The discharge of effluent and sludge onto or
into land is widely practiced in Southland Region.
This Plan covers sewerage schemes, treatment of foul water by septic tanks, toilet facilities at visitor
centers, rest areas and at tramping track huts, campervan discharges, stock truck discharges, trade wastes,
and other discharges that may have an effect on groundwater and surface water quality and public health in
Southland. The plan looks at how Environment Southland will manage effluent and sludge in Southland.
It should be noted that this plan is currently under review and is likely to be merged with the
Regional Water Plan in future. Further information can be downloaded
