Compliance monitoring programme reports and the Resource
Management Act 1991
1.1.1 Introduction
This report is the Monitoring Report for the period July 2015-June 2016 by the Taranaki
Regional Council (the Council) on the monitoring programme associated with resource
consents held by Opunake Power Limited (the Company). The Company operates a
hydroelectric power scheme situated on Beach Road at Opunake, in the Waiaua River
catchment.
This report covers the results and findings of the
for each activity. Monitoring programmes are not
only based on existing permit conditions, but also on the obligations of the RMA to
assess the effects of the exercise of consents. In accordance with section 35 of the RMA,
the Council undertakes compliance monitoring for consents and rules in regional
plans, and maintains an overview of the performance of resource users and consent
holders. Compliance monitoring, including both activity and impact monitoring,
enables the Council to
replace the resource consent from the Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) for
discharges to air (as well as to replace the consent for discharge to water).
Since lodging the application, AFTL has modified its proposed use of the site and now proposes to
convert all four poultry sheds from conventional (i.e. non-free range) broiler poultry configuration to
free range configuration. This will have the effect of reducing the overall housing capacity at the site
from 95,000 birds allowed at present to
greater, and high flows were only 36% of typical highs while mean river (non-mountain) water temperatures were 17.8°C, an average of 0.4°C cooler than normal. The average air temperature for the region (excluding Te Maunga sites) was 16.7°C, which is 0.8°C cooler than long-term February averages. The maximum air temperature recorded in February was 28.7°C at Inglewood at Oxidation Ponds. The maximum wind gust recorded in February was 129km/hr at Waitotara at Ngutuwera.
