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
quality of the unnamed tributary of the
Manawapou River.
There were no adverse effects on the environment found as a result of the exercise of the air discharge
consent. Ambient air quality monitoring at the site showed that levels of carbon monoxide, combustible
gases, PM10 particulates, and nitrogen oxides were all below levels of concern at the time of sampling. No
offensive or objectionable odours were detected beyond the boundary during inspections, and there were
no complaints in

In each subsection 1 (e.g. Section 2.1) there is a general description of the landfilled site and its discharges,
an aerial photograph or map showing the location of the former landfill, and an outline of the matters
covered by the water discharge permit.
Subsection 2 presents the results of monitoring of the STDC’s activities at each of the sites during the
period under review, including scientific and technical data.

During the year, the Company demonstrated a high level of both environmental performance and
administrative compliance with the resource consents.

For reference, in the 2021-2022 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 88% of the consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored monitoring
programmes, while for another 10% of the consents, a good level of environmental performance and
compliance was achieved.
