economic effects;
b. physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual effects;
c. ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or habitats, whether aquatic or
collected for physicochemical analysis, two biomonitoring surveys of receiving waters, and one
marine ecology inspection.
The monitoring showed that activities at the Paritūtū site had no significant impact on air quality in the
vicinity of the plant or on water quality in the Herekawe Stream. There were no unauthorised incidents
recording non-compliance in respect of the consent holders during the period under review.

monitoring
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 aquatic or
inspections, two injectate
samples and fourteen groundwater samples collected for physicochemical analysis. The monitoring
programme also included a significant data review component, with all injection data submitted by the
Company assessed for compliance on receipt.
The monitoring showed that the Company’s DWI activities were being carried out in compliance with the
conditions of the applicable resource consents. There is no evidence of any issues with any injection well
currently in use, or
discusses the results, their interpretations, and their significance for the environment.
