Water scheme opponents: Canterbury Plains environment 'ruined' by farming

STACY SQUIRES/Stuff
Aotearoa Water Action spokesman Peter Richardson says nitrates leaching into Canterbury’s waterways is a public health disaster in the making.
If approved, it is estimated to be the largest pollution consent issued for a 10-year period in New Zealand history, with MHV’s past, present and proposed activities considered.
Freshwater advocate Angus Robson predicted it could raise nitrates by up to 25 times what international studies consider safe, and 10 times the environmental bottom line in new national freshwater regulations.
AWA spokesman Peter Richardson said they were concerned about the lack of public notification, on a consent which could have ramifications for both human health and the environment.

An independent hearing commissioner is considering the renewal. The public cannot make submissions, because they were able to do so as part of the original consent process.
A panel, including a rural GP and an epidemiologist [https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/438881/researcher-to-look-at-link-between-nitrates-in-drinking-water-and-bowel-cancer-rates
who has researched the links between nitrates and bowel cancer], spoke about health and environmental risks at the meeting a Burnside High School in Christchurch.
Many in the audience had travelled from Ashburton, where one man said this had been an issue he had been fighting for since the 1970s. He had now retired but said this would make a difference for future generations.
