Southland Regional Council

C26/100 - Dairy Groundwater Monitoring Programme

Environment Southland monitors and collects groundwater samples from approximately 160 dairy farms across Southland as a requirement of resource consents. This occurs twice per year in April and November. Environment Southland provides the list of sample sites and sampling consumables. The contractor must undertake sampling of the bores efficiently and cost-effectively and have appropriate staff competencies, vehicles, and sampling equipment. Preference will be given to those with previous experience of similar projects, relevant expertise in groundwater sampling, project management, and customer relations.
