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 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
cumulative
measurement error of the metering devices. However, it is noted that this is excluding losses that may be
occurring as the cooling water is discharged via the spray nozzles.
Physicochemical and ecological monitoring did not note any problems in regard to the abstraction of water
from the Kaupokonui Stream for cooling water and general purposes, from site discharges to the

Kaupokonui Stream, or in the Waiokura or Motumate Streams from the discharges of
by a consent condition.
The groundwater monitoring indicates the presence of elevated total nitrogen concentrations in shallow
groundwater. This is in part a result of heavy applications of nitrogen (effluent) early in the life of the plant.
Current effluent application is considerably lower than historic application rates. However, nitrate
concentrations in the soil profile underneath the irrigation areas and in the tributaries flowing through or
adjacent to the site remain elevated.
magnitude of these fluctuations is influenced by rainfall
patterns, bore depth, aquifer type (confined or unconfined) and hydraulic properties, the overlying land
cover, and proximity to a stable surface water boundary or groundwater discharge area (e.g. river or sea).
The data collected over the last three years of monitoring at each site has also been assessed to
determine the current state of groundwater levels across monitored aquifers. The assessment shows that
current water levels do not …

administrative charges are fixed annually to recover the Council’s actual and reasonable costs when
undertaking work for external users under the Resource Management Act 1991. The Schedule of Charges fixes
charges in the following areas:
Schedule 1: Scale of Charges for Staff Time
Schedule 2: Fixed minimum charges for the preparation or change of policy statement or plans and the
processing of resource consents
Schedule 3: Scale of charges for the use of plant

detected beyond the site boundary in relation to this project, or during normal plant operations throughout
the year.
There were five unauthorised incidents that occurred at the NPWWTP during the year; two due to
blockages, two due to mechanical faults and one due to power failure caused by lightning strike. All of these
incidents were deemed compliant with consent conditions upon further investigation. Four events were
recorded for sewer
