www.ashburtoncourier.co.nz Second water report on way Ashburton District Councillors have called for asecond report on theimpact of Government’s newnational policy statement on freshwatermanagement, andthey expect it to be more direthan the first. Areport last month said farmprofitability wouldfall by $57.9million per year and farm expenditureby$139.9m as farmers changed their systems to meet Canterburytargets of 6.9mg of nitrate alitre in waterways. The second report will look at the impact of meeting Government’s new 2.4mg target,levelledacross the whole of New Zealand. Councillors know the news will be worse as the second reportwill also takeinto account thespinoff of that reduced profitabilityand spendingonthe wider community, which includes retailers in Ashburton and those businesses supporting farmers. In their last meeting of 2020, councillors asked their new agriculture adviser Richard Fitzgeraldtoget on withthe second report. It will cost around$70,000. Thereport will look at the cost of meeting the 2.4mg level in MidCanterbury, and its flowon effect in the district. Other options were more expensive reportslooking at meeting all theNPS freshwatertargets in Mid Canterbury(there are 23),and in Canterbury. Farmers across the district, most helped by their irrigation schemes andoperating under farm environment plans,are already working towards reducing nitrate leaching. They arealso leadingprojects such as the managedaquifer recharge scheme, which injects clean river water into underground aquifers to dilute nitrate concentrations and raise groundwater levels. Mr Fitzgerald said there had been alot of discussion around the flowon effectsonthe economy of meeting thenitrate targets. The report looking atthe impact of all NPS targets on Mid Canterbury could be nearly $150,000 and the wider Canterbury report around Ted Wood (left) receives his sapphire pin from Ashburton Rotary Club president Rodger Letham. PHOTO SUPPLIED Giveyour leftovers anicer place to live. Mayor Neil Brown $200,000. He said themethodology usedinthe Mid Canterbury reports could be easilyapplied by other Canterbury councils to see theeffects in theirareas. Ashburtonmayor Neil Brownsaid council was pushing back on nitratelevels it felt wereunachievablein MidCanterbury. While nitrates were an issuehere, other councils wereconcerned about other targets in the NPS. Theonesizefitsall approach was widely criticised by farmers duringthe consultation stage of the new Government policy. Canterbury mayors have already formed aworking group to look at the impact of thefreshwater policyontheir districts.They have seen the firstAshburton reportand are awaiting the second. Cr Angus McKay saidthe Ashburton council could pressurethe regional council on its NPS implementation timetable but it neededfacts to support its case. He said councils all around thecountry wouldnow be lookingathow theNPS would affect them. Cr Stuart Wilson saidit wasn’t just farmers who were affectedby the freshwater targets; the economic effects would be felt by retailers and the‘‘social fabric’’ of the district. Mr Brown said farmers needed time andscience to meet thetargets.‘‘We just want to dispute theoneswecan’t achieve.’’ Rotary rewards Ted’s 50years Ted Wood has joined aselect group within Rotaryand is now the proud recipient of a sapphire pin. The pin marks 50 years as a member of AshburtonRotary Club and was formally handed over just beforeChristmas. The accolade and service acknowledgement came as a surprise to the formerdentist, who wasput forward for the pin by the club. Mr Wood, who is 86, said he was proudto have been involved with Rotaryover five decades anddelighted to receive the pin. ‘‘Rotary has given me the opportunity to meet people and make friends over the years and also to do some good in the community.’’ He was club presidentin 197677 andhad been secretary and director in histime and had thoroughly enjoyed his involvement. ‘‘I still go to the weekly meetingsand I’m not planning on stepping backfrom the club anytime soon.’’ Ashburton RotaryClub president Rodger Letham said Ted Wood had givenan enormous amount of service to hisfamily, his communityand to Rotary. He had always been ahuge supporter of the club’s auction andwas now astalwart of annualfundraiser Bookarama, where he sortedbooks and was behind the microphone advisingthe buyerswhat do to andwhere to look. As wellashis careerasa dentist, Mr Wood is aqualified accountant andformer member of Ashburton Borough Council. He andhis wife Pearl have brought up five children.
