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 …
activities, all adverse effects of the activity can be considered. Activities
classified as discretionary are recognised as being capable of generating a wide range of
effects and therefore the assessment of effects is not narrowed or limited in any way.

Overall, both surveys indicated that the discharge of treated stormwater and leachate discharges from the
Colson Road landfill site had not had any significant detrimental effect on the macroinvertebrate
communities of the Puremu and Manganaha Streams, or the unnamed tributary of the Puremu Stream.
Air quality monitoring showed that off-site there were no significant adverse effects in relation to
suspended particulates, dust deposition rates or odour beyond the site boundary.

Delivering on NZ’s freshwater aspirations
At what pace should the Council respond to the Government’s Essential Freshwater package and the
extensive and expensive new requirements it brings? Should we move quickly to boost capacity to

during recent years. No samples outside of the mixing zone
exceeded the relevant USEPA receiving water criteria for the protection of aquatic ecosystems for zinc or
copper, and all other parameters were below levels stipulated by consent conditions.
Biomonitoring results have also continued to indicate a slight improvement in water quality and ecological
conditions in the stream over the last few years. MCI and SQMCIS scores indicated that treated stormwater
discharged from the site was not …

What is a natural wetland?
A natural wetland means a wetland (permanently or
intermittently wet areas, shallow water, and land water
margins that support a natural ecosystem of plants and
animals that are adapted to wet conditions) that is not:
(a) constructed by artificial means (unless it was
constructed to offset impacts on, or restore, an existing
or former natural wetland); or
(b) a geothermal wetland; or
