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
avoid adverse effects on the environment.
Environmental ‘effects’ 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
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.
For reference, in the 2022-2023 year, consent holders were found to

Executive summary
The Stratford District Council (SDC) operates three water treatment plants (WTPs) in the Stratford District
that supply water to Stratford, Midhirst, and Toko. Each of the WTPs has a water take consent, and a consent
to discharge backwash water either to land or to water.
This report for the period July 2022 to June 2023 describes the monitoring programme implemented by the
Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess SDC’s
to
provide maps containing information that relates to
your risk identification and action selection process.
The regulations allow you to present maps in a way
that makes sense to you, providing the requirements
are met. This means you can choose any mapping
tools, the form, size, the number of maps, and the
combination of features you display on each map.
However, you should check with your
regional/unitary council if they have any guidance or
specific mapping requirements.

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

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or
consents.
At the same time, there are many activities, such as small riverbed structures or taking
small quantities of water, that have only minor adverse effects on the environment. The
Plan has been written to allow these activities to be carried out without the need for a
resource consent. This will result in reduced costs and bureaucracy.
On behalf of the Taranaki Regional Council I would like to thank all those who have
participated in the preparation of the Regional Fresh
