The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may arise in relation to:
a. the neighbourhood or the wider community around an activity, and may include cultural and social-
economic effects;
b. physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual effects;
c. ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or habitats, whether

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or
environmentally significant areas to
protect and areas at risk from natural hazards. It
could also provide a powerful tool for supporting
climate change action. A spatial plan can identify
the areas most suitable for renewable electricity
generation or sequestration activities. It can also
indicate where future infrastructure will be
needed to combat worsening flood risk and sea-
level rise.
The region has all the tools it needs to progress
a regional spatial plan under the Resource
Management
of Māori culture and values and
put these into practice in your work.

and monitoring plan requirements are still in effect with works required to be undertaken by 31 January
2024. There appear to be some legacy issues that are affecting the water quality in the receiving
environment. These have resulted in some consent non-compliances, however, they have not resulted in any
non-compliant results in the surface waters or had significant adverse effects on the receiving waters during
the year under review. Monitoring
with abatements and infringements being issued
on multiple occasions. The 2022-2023 monitoring period was an improvement on previous years with no
abatement or infringements being issued but three non-compliant consent conditions. A new abatement
requiring the installation of piezometers has been issued in the 2023-2024 year.
This report includes recommendations for the 2023-2024 year.

applicable resource consents. There is no evidence of any issues with any injection well
currently in use or the ability of the receiving formation to accept injected fluids. The results of groundwater
quality monitoring undertaken show no adverse effects of the activity on local groundwater resources.
Inspections undertaken during the monitoring year found sites being operated in a professional manner
and there were no unauthorised incidents reported in relation to the Company’s DWI consents.
