FARM DAIRY EFFLUENT SYSTEM DESIGN ACCREDITATION PROGRAMME
The Farm Dairy Effluent System Design Accreditation programme provides a new way forward for Effluent System Design in NZ. The programme goal is to ensure all NZ dairy farmers have effluent systems that can achieve dairy industry and wider communities expectations for the land application of dairy effluent:
- To keep all untreated effluent out of surface and groundwater.
- To keep land applied effluent nutrients in the root zone to capture their nutrient and economic value.
- To ensure all systems are compliant 365 days a year. Quoted from Irrigation New Zealand. http://effluentaccreditation.co.nz/
Systems designed and installed by Reid & Harrison Services will meet:
- Farm Dairy Effluent (FDE) Design Code of Practice
- Farm Dairy Effluent (FDE) Design Standards
You are invited to read the Farmer’s Guide for Farm Dairy Effluent (FDE) Systems. This gives good advice for planning the right system for your farm.

GET YOUR EFFLUENT SYSTEM W.O.F
The Effluent W.O.F programme is insightful and practical, covering the entire effluent system.
We arrange an assessment, by a fully certified (by Dairy NZ) Warrant of Fitness Assessor.
A 3-4 hour assessment covers the farm’s effluent consents and permitted rules, the storage capacity, nutrient loadings, soil risk, irrigator performance, off-pasture infrastructure and general health and safety requirements.
Assessors point out areas of risk and suggest practical actions a farmer can take to ensure their system is capable of being compliant 365 days a year.
