Executive Summary

Waikato Regional Council (WRC) has commissioned Pattle Delamore Partners Ltd (PDP) to

undertake water resource monitoring in the Tunakohoia Stream in the vicinity of the

disused Tui Mine, Mt Te Aroha.

During the 2012 monitoring rounds, work was underway on Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the

remedial works for the Tui Mine. The work was aimed to reduce the mass load of trace

elements being discharged in water seeping from the underground workings at the Tui

Mine Site. Remedial works in level 4 and level 5 of the Tui Mine were underway during

the monitoring period. Works were also underway to stabilise the Tui tailings dam during

the monitoring period. Part of the work on the tailings dam involved diversion of the

stormwater discharge from SW15 back into the tailings dam. Due to the diversion of the

flow of stormwater from this site, SW15 could not be sampled.

Three rounds of water quality sampling were undertaken by PDP in September, October

and November 2012. In order to assess any changes in the water quality due to the

continuing remedial works, the laboratory results were compared to the results reported in

the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring report and, at the request of WRC, additional data

supplied from WRC files (2 July, 19 August and 23 October 2009). Also, the results were

assessed against ANZECC (2000) Contact Recreational Standards for consideration of the

quality of water for recreational purposes. The Laboratory reported metal concentrations

above the ANZECC (2000) Contact Recreational Standards at all of the 2012 monitoring

round sampling sites, with the exception of site SW8.

At Adit 4 (monitoring site SW3) there has been a significant decrease in the concentration

and mass loads of dissolved and total cadmium, copper, iron, lead and zinc during the

second and third monitoring rounds. Results from this site are still higher than baseline

levels reported by PDP in 2010.

Water quality measurements undertaken on the discharge from Adit 5 (monitoring site

SW5) have shown that alkalinity and concentrations of dissolved and total calcium, iron,

magnesium, manganese and sulphate have been increasing over the 2011-2012

monitoring period. The concentration of these parameters is now significantly elevated

above the baseline levels reported by PDP in 2010. The concentration and mass

discharge of other metals monitored at SW5 remain similar to 2011 levels and lower than

baseline levels reported for this monitoring site by PDP in 2010.

At SW100 (Tunakohoia stream, downstream of SW3 and SW5) the concentration of

calcium (dissolved and total), magnesium (dissolved and total) and sulphate was higher

than the range of results that were reported in the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring

report.

At all other monitoring locations there has been no significant change in the

concentrations or mass load of the contaminants.

1.0 Introduction

Waikato Regional Council (WRC) has commissioned Pattle Delamore Partners Ltd (PDP) to

undertake water resource monitoring in the Tunakohoia Stream in the vicinity of the

disused Tui Mine, Mt Te Aroha. Three rounds of water quality sampling were undertaken

by PDP in September, October and November 2012, to establish the water quality of the

water resources within the Tunakohoia stream during the on-going rehabilitation of the

underground mine site.

During the 2012 monitoring rounds, work was underway at the mine site on Phase 1 and

Phase 2 of the remedial works, which was aimed at reducing the mass load of trace

elements being discharged from the underground workings at the Tui Mine Site, and at

stabilising the tailing dam site. Remedial works in level 4 and level 5 of the Tui Mine

were still underway during the monitoring period.

According to information received from Tonkin and Taylor (Tonkin and Taylor, 2012) ,

remedial works during this monitoring period included dewatering of Adit 4, which

occurred from 13 September to 28 September 2012 and injection of 20 tonnes of lime

just behind coffer dam 2 on the 25 to 25 September 2012. Work was also undertaken to

divert the flows with the poorest water quality from behind coffer dam 2 into race 3.

Another part of the remediation programme involved diverting stormwater away from

discharge point SW15. During the 2012 monitoring programme no discharge was

observed from discharge point SW15.

The work undertaken by PDP included:

• The collection, analysis and interpretation of water quality samples over three

monitoring rounds; and

• The measurements of stream flow at each of the water quality sample locations

during each of the three monitoring rounds.

A similar methodology was used by PDP during this monitoring period as was used by PDP

in the October 2009 baseline monitoring of the site, when a series of monitoring rounds

were undertaken at the mine site prior to remedial works (see PDP 2010).

Notes: 1. Total and dissolved metals.

2.2 Sampling Order

Samples were collected in a specific order to minimise the potential for cross

contamination from earlier sampling events. Downstream, potentially less contaminated

samples were collected first before upstream potentially more heavily contaminated

samples. The order of sampling during the three 2012 monitoring rounds was: SW8,

SW7, SW100, SW101, SW5 and SW3.

2.3 Sampling Techniques

PDP collected water samples during all of the 2012 monitoring events under either low or

moderate flow conditions, as this allowed the results to be compared to the baseline

monitoring round as well as minimising the risk to health and safety of staff working within

the water ways. To ensure stream flow conditions were met, PDP staff monitored the

weather forecast from Metservice and examined rainfall records from the Te Aroha rain-

gauge via the WRC website.

A02277608R001.doc

At each monitoring site, water samples were collected before any field measurements and

flow monitoring had been undertaken, to prevent disturbance of sediments which could

potentially affect the water quality.

The water samples were collected mid-stream in the main stream flow and care was

taken not to disturb any sediment at the bottom of the stream. This was particularly

important around discharges from the mine adits (SW3 and SW5) as sediments in these

areas contain high concentrations of iron oxide flocculation. (If disturbed, the flocculation

can enter the sample container and elevate total metal and suspended solid

concentrations in the sample). If any flocculation did enter the sample container, the

sample was discarded downstream of the sampling site. A new sample was then

collected upstream of the area which had been disturbed.

Samples were collected and stored in the appropriate sample bottles which had been

supplied and certified clean by the analysing laboratory. Each sample bottle was uniquely

identified in accordance with PDP chain of custody and sampling labelling procedure.

After collection, the water samples were sent under standard PDP chain of custody

documentation to the appropriate laboratories as soon as possible. This was to ensure

the laboratories received the samples within the required hold times and to ensure

sample integrity was maintained.

2.4 Field Measurements

To measure field parameters, a Horiba multi-parameter water quality U-50 series system

(physicochemical parameters: dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, pH, redox

potential, temperature and turbidity) was used.

Prior to each sampling round, the field instrument was calibrated against NIST traceable

standards as per the manufacturer’s instructions. This was in accordance with good

laboratory practices (GLP) as detailed in USEPA and APHA/ AWWA/ WEF “Standard

Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Water” (21st edition). This was done to

minimise any sampling variability between the current monitoring round and the sampling

undertaken during the baseline monitoring round. Between monitoring locations, the

sensor of the meter was rinsed with Type 1 water (deionised water) and the field meter

was checked against a manufacturer’s quick-calibration solution (electrical conductivity,

pH, redox and turbidity) and/or air saturation readings (dissolved oxygen).

2.5 Flow Monitoring Procedures

Flow monitoring was required to establish an estimate of mass contaminant loads from

the mine adits and Tunakohoia Stream. Where possible, flow was gauged using a SonTek

FlowTracker Handheld-ADV® (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter). The FlowTracker requires

water to be at least 0.05 m deep in order to gauge cross sectional area and flow. Where

this was not possible, volumetric flow into a bucket of known volume was used. Table 2

outlines the flow monitoring methodology that was used at each site during the 2012

monitoring rounds.

3.0 Field Monitoring Results

In order to assess the effects of the alkalinity injection, that was being used to

rehabilitate the mine, the laboratory results were compared to the results reported in the

PDP (2010) baseline monitoring report and additional data supplied by WRC (2 July, 19

August and 23 October 2009). See Appendix B for result tables for each monitoring

location.

The key findings of the September, October and November 2012 Tunakohoia Stream

water resource monitoring rounds are summarised below on a site by site basis. Any

increase or decrease in contaminant concentrations is less than 10-fold, unless otherwise

stated.

SW3 (Adit 4 Discharge)

• During the first monitoring round in 2012 (September) the concentrations of all

parameters were similar or slightly higher than those reported during the 2011

monitoring round.

• The concentrations of most parameters decreased significantly during the second

(October 2012) and third monitoring (November 2012) rounds.

SW5 (Adit 5 Outlet)

• The alkalinity and concentrations of dissolved and total calcium, iron,

magnesium, manganese, and sulphate have increase significantly above the

range of results reported in the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring report. Results

for these parameters have consistently increased in all the monitoring rounds

undertaken in 2011 and 2012.

• Concentrations of total cadmium, copper and lead were lower than the range of

results that was reported in the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring report and are

similar or lower than those results that were reported during the 2011 monitoring

round.

4.0 Flow Monitoring Results

The key findings of the September, October and November 2012 Tunakohoia Stream flow

monitoring are summarised below on a site by site basis. Any increase or decrease in

water flow is less than 10-fold, unless otherwise stated. See Appendix B for result tables

for each monitoring location.

SW3 (Adit 4 Discharge)

• The flow measured from this sampling site over the three 2012 monitoring

rounds was within the range of results reported in the PDP (2010) baseline

monitoring report, although the average flow has increased slightly.

SW5 (Adit 5 Outlet)

• The measured flow of water being discharged at this sampling site has

significantly decreased (approximately 10-fold) compared to the flow monitoring

results reported in the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring report.

SW7 (Tunakohoia Stream North Branch, Downstream of Tailings Dam)

• The measured flow of water from this sampling site was within the lower range of

results reported in the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring report.

SW8 (Tunakohoia Stream South Branch, Town Water Supply Inlet)

• The flow measured from this sampling site over the three 2012 monitoring

rounds was at the slightly lower end of the range of results reported in the PDP

SW100 (Tunakohoia Stream North Branch)

• The flow measured from this sampling site over the three monitoring rounds was

within the range of results reported in the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring

report.

SW101 (Ruakaka Adits Tributary)

• The flow measured from this sampling site over the three monitoring rounds was

within the range of results reported in the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring

report.

5.0 Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Quality Assurance and quality controls (QA/QC) samples (duplicates, field blanks and trips

blanks) were collected as part of each monitoring. The results of the QA/QC monitoring

undertaken as part of this project are presented in Appendix D. All QA/QC samples meet

the data quality objectives outlined in Table D-1 in Appendix D.

6.0 Comparison of Results against ANZECC Guidelines

The water quality data was compared to ANZECC (2000) Contact Recreational Standards

where applicable. In terms of the remedial goals, these criteria are only of relevance for

the sites at the base of the slopes of Mt Te Aroha where recreational use is likely. See

Appendix B attached.

The ANZECC (2000) Contact Recreational Standards do not state if the results for

inorganic parameters should be compared against dissolved or total metal fractions.

Since the intention of these guidelines is to protect recreational users against either toxic

(via ingestion) and/or irritation to the skin or mucous membranes PDP believes that it is

appropriate to compare the ANZECC (2000) guideline values to both the dissolved and

total fraction.

The comparison of the 2012 monitoring round results at SW7 and SW8 against the

ANZECC (2000) Contact Recreational Standards is summarised below on a site by site

basis.

SW7 (Tunakohoia Stream North Branch, Downstream of Tailings Dam)

• The concentrations of dissolved and total cadmium and manganese were

measured above the ANZECC (2000) Contact Recreational Standards during all

three of the 2012 monitoring rounds and all previous baseline sampling rounds.

• The concentration of total aluminium was measured during one of the 2012

monitoring rounds to be above the ANZECC (2000) Contact Recreational

Standards. Total aluminium was also measured above the ANZECC (2000)

Contact Recreational Standards in eight of ten baseline sampling rounds.

SW8 (Tunakohoia Stream South Branch, Town Water Supply Inlet)

• No metal concentrations were measured above the ANZECC (2000) Contact

Recreational Standards during any of the 2012 monitoring rounds, or in any of

the baseline sampling rounds.

7.0 Assessment of the Mass Loads of Contaminants at Each of

the Monitoring Locations

To provide assessment of contaminant concentrations measured during sampling, mass

loads of the following contaminants were calculated:

• Dissolved arsenic

• Total recoverable arsenic

• Dissolved cadmium

• Total recoverable cadmium

• Dissolved copper

• Total recoverable copper

A02277608R001.doc

• Dissolved iron

• Total recoverable iron

• Dissolved lead

• Total recoverable lead

• Dissolved zinc

• Total recoverable zinc.

Mass load is defined (for the purposes of this report) as the quantity of contaminant

discharged passed a point of interest (stream transect) over a given time interval. Mass

load results calculated for this report are in units of (g s-1

). Mass load calculations for

sites; SW03, SW05, SW07, SW100 and SW101 are provided in Appendix C.

An elevated mass load can result because of two reasons, these are:

• An increased quantity of contaminant being discharged, but with no equ ivalent

increase in stream flow; and

• A decrease in stream flow, but with no equivalent decrease of contaminant

concentration.

Conversely, a reduction of mass load can result due to the inverse of the reasons

provided above.

Mass loads of contaminants measured prior to 2011 were compared with monitoring

results obtained during the 2012 monitoring period for sites SW03, SW05, SW07,

SW100, and SW101. A summary of changes in measurements are provided below on a

site by site basis.

SW03 (Adit 4 Discharge)

• Overall, the mass load of dissolved cadmium, copper, iron, lead and zinc have

increased in comparison to the range of results reported in the PDP (2010)

baseline monitoring report during the first monitoring round (September 2012).

However during the second and third monitoring rounds (October and November

2012) the mass load of dissolved and total metals decreased significantly and

were within the upper range of the mass discharge of metals reported in the PDP

(2010) baseline monitoring report.

SW05 (Adit 5 Outlet)

• Overall, the mass loads of cadmium, copper, lead and zinc were similar to those

reported in 2011 monitoring report (PDP, 2012) and lower than the range of

results reported in the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring report.

• The mass loads of arsenic (dissolved and total) were higher (more than one order

of magnitude) than those reported in 2011 monitoring report (PDP, 2012) but

within the range of results reported in the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring

report.

• The mass load of dissolved iron being discharged from SW5 was higher (more

than one order of magnitude) than those reported in 2011 monitoring report

(PDP, 2012). The mass discharge of dissolved iron from SW5 is between 5 to

10 times higher than the range of results reported in the PDP (2010) baseline

monitoring report.

SW07 (Tunakohoia Stream North Branch, Downstream of SW100 and SW15)

• Overall, the mass loads of dissolved arsenic, cadmium, copper, iron, lead and

zinc were similar to those reported in 2011 (PDP 2012). The mass discharge of

total lead is slightly lower than the range reported in the 2011 monitoring report

(PDP 2012). The mass load of contaminants at this monitoring site appears to

be within the upper end of the range reported in the PDP (2010) baseline

monitoring report.

SW100 (Tunakohoia Stream North Branch)

• Overall, the mass load of arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead and zinc have not

significantly changed at this site in comparison to the range of results reported in

the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring report.

SW101 (Ruakaka Adits Tributary)

• Overall, the mass load of arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead and zinc have not

significantly changed at this site in comparison to the range of results reported in

the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring report.

8.0 Conclusions

Three rounds of water quality sampling were undertaken by PDP in September, October

and November 2012, to establish if the water quality of the water resources within the

Tunakohoia stream had changed during the on-going rehabilitation of the underground

mine site. In order to assess any changes in the water quality, the laboratory results were

compared to the results reported in the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring report and

additional data supplied by WRC (2 July, 19 August and 23 October 2009). Also, the

results were assessed against ANZECC (2000) Contact Recreational Standards for

recreational use of the water resources.

In the water being discharged from Adit 4 (monitoring site SW3) there has been a

significant decrease in the concentration and mass loads of dissolved and total cadmium,

copper, iron, lead and zinc during the second and third monitoring rounds.

Water quality measurements undertaken on the discharge from Adit 5 (monitoring site

SW5) have shown that alkalinity and concentrations of dissolved and total calcium, iron,

magnesium, manganese and sulphate have been increasing over the 2011-2012

monitoring period. The concentration of these parameters is now significantly elevated

(between 2.5 and 4.5 fold increase in these parameters) above the baseline levels

reported by PDP in 2010. However, the concentrations of other dissolved metals remain

similar to (i.e. zinc) or lower than (i.e. cadmium, copper and lead) baseline monitoring

results.

The mass discharge of dissolved iron from SW5 is between 5 to 10 times higher than the

range of results reported in the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring report.

The concentration and mass discharge of other metals monitored at SW5 remain similar

to 2011 levels and lower than baseline levels reported by PDP in 2010.

At SW100 (Tunakohoia stream, downstream of SW3 and SW5) the concentration of

calcium (dissolved and total), magnesium (dissolved and total) and sulphate were higher

than the range of results that were reported in the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring

report.

At all other monitoring locations there has been no significant change in the

concentrations or mass load of the contaminants.

Laboratory results reported metal concentrations above the ANZECC (2000) Contact

Recreational Standards at all of the 2012 monitoring round sampling sites, with the

exception of site SW8.

The stream flow at each of the water quality sample locations was recorded as part of the

2012 monitoring rounds. The flow measured from SW3, SW7, SW8, SW100 and SW101

over the 2012 monitoring rounds was within the range of results reported in the PDP

(2010) baseline monitoring report. The flow measured from SW5 has significantly

decreased (approximately 10-fold) compared to the flow monitoring results reported in

the PDP (2010) baseline monitoring report, but was similar to the flow monitoring results

report in the 2011 monitoring report (PDP, 2012). The monitoring at SW15 has stopped

as this discharge has been eliminated as part of the remedial works at the tailings dam.

1.0 Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)

As part of the QA/QC sampling program, PDP collected the following samples:

• One blind replicate sample during each of the three monitoring rounds which was

analysed for all parameters in this investigation to assess the precision of

laboratory analysis;

• A split sample from the September monitoring round, prepared by Hill

Laboratories and sent to Environmental Laboratory Services for duplicate analysis

for cation/anion analysis as well as dissolved and total metals ; and

• One filter (rinsate) blank collected at each of the baseline monitoring locations

during each of the three monitoring rounds and analysed for dissolved metals to

identify contamination which may have occurred in either sample collection

and/or laboratory analysis.

Analysis of the samples was undertaken by Hill Laboratories in Hamilton (an IANZ

accredited laboratory) and, for the split sample only, Environmental Laboratory Services in

Wellington (an IANZ accredited laboratory). The results of the analysis of the QA/QC

samples were then compared against the project ’s data quality objectives outlined in

Table D-1.

The blind replicate samples were collected as follows:

• September monitoring round: blind replicate sample (BHA) was collected at SW3.

• October monitoring round: blind replicate sample (BHC) was collected at SW5.

• November monitoring round: blind replicate sample (SWC) was collected at SW3.

To quantify the similarity between the two samples, the Relative Percent Difference

(%RPD) for each individual parameter concentration was calculated (where possible). The

RPD calculations for the duplicate sample sets were within acceptable limits for all

parameters with concentrations reported above the laboratory method detection limits

(see Table D-2). During the September 2012 monitoring round, the %RPD for total

selenium (82.1%) in samples SW3 and BHA was very high. This sample was re-analysed

several times and Hill Laboratories advised PDP that the high zinc concentrations within

the sample were causing analytical interferences, therefore this result and all other

selenium results should be treated with some caution when very high zinc concentrations

are present.

During the November monitoring round a high %RPD was measured for dissolved

antimony (66.7%), however this results was within the project’s data quality objective for

metal analysis because the dissolved antimony results were less than 5 times the

analytical detection limit for antimony (0.0002 g/m3)1.

One trip blank and one field blank per monitoring event were collected and analysed for

dissolved and total metals and the cation/anion suite. (A trip blank is a sample bottle

filled with Type 1 (deionised) water by the laboratory. The bottle is placed amongst the

other sample bottles, but remains unopened. A field blank is a bottle that is filled in the

field with Type 1 (deionised) water supplied by the laboratory. The purpose of trip and

field blanks is to randomly check that laboratory practices are not responsible for

contamination).

During the first monitoring round, the field blank (BHC) was collected at SW3; during the

second monitoring round, the field blank (BHC) was collected at SW5 and for the third

round (SWB), the field blank was collected at SW3.

During the first monitoring round, the trip blank was labelled BHB. During the second

monitoring round, the trip blank was labelled BHB and during the third round, the trip

blank was labelled SWA.

The trip and field blank samples did not report concentrations of the contaminants of

concern above the laboratory detection limits in any of the three monitoring rounds (see

Table D3).

To verify the accuracy of analytical results from Hill Laboratories, a split sample was

obtained from SW3 during the September 2012 monitoring round and sent to

Environmental Laboratory Services. To quantify the similarity between the two

samples, the RPD for each individual parameter concentration was calculated (where

possible). The RPD calculations for the two sample sets were within acceptable limits for

most parameters with concentrations reported above the two laboratories detection limits

(See Table D4).

1

The data quality objectives recognize the uncertainty/noise inherent with concentrations close to

the analytical detection limit. This results in relative percentage difference for duplicate analysis of

up to 100% being acceptable for results which are less than 5 times the analytical detection limit.

Analyst's CommentsAmended Report: This report which replaces an earlier report issued on the 26/10/12. Following a client query[QOWQ46663], the dissolved copper analysis was repeated for sample 1060297.2. It was found that spot contaminationhad occurred in the initial analysis and the repeated result is now reported. The sample 1060297.9 was also checked butthis result confirmed.

#1 It has been noted that the result for the dissolved fraction was greater than that for the total fraction, but within analyticalvariation of the methods.

#2 Due to the matrix of the sample, a further dilution was performed prior to analysis, resulting in a detection limit higherthan that normally achieved.

#3 It has been noted that the result for the dissolved fraction was greater than that for the total fraction, but within analyticalvariation of the methods. Confirmed by re-analysis.

Lab No: 1060297 v 2 Hill Laboratories Page 4 of 6

The following table(s) gives a brief description of the methods used to conduct the analyses for this job. The detection limits given below are those attainable in a relatively clean matrix.Detection limits may be higher for individual samples should insufficient sample be available, or if the matrix requires that dilutions be performed during analysis.
