this was the considerable erosion
occurring along the Waitara East beach shoreline. However, it is not yet clear whether this erosion has been
influenced by the Waitara river mouth groyne/mole structures, or whether it is occurring independently.
Further investigation is required to establish the cause(s) of this erosion and identify remedial measures.
In order to better detect changes such as these, which can occur gradually over long periods of time,

It must also be noted that in some spill situations the spill will simply be monitored
to ensure that no environmental damage occurs, and that no physical clean-up
activities may be undertaken (eg diesel spill into a warm, rough sea).

During your annual inspection for dairy effluent discharge consents, the Taranaki Regional
Council (the ‘Council’) inspecting officer will also check if you have a feedlot or stockholding
area and if so, whether you need to apply for a resource consent.
If you require a resource consent for your stockholding area please speak to the Council about
your options.
Follow the flowchart on page 3 to see whether you have a stockholding area and

or the ability of the receiving formation to accept injected fluids, during the period under review. The results
of groundwater quality monitoring undertaken show no adverse effects of the activity on local groundwater
resources. Inspections undertaken during the monitoring year found sites being operated in a professional
manner and there were no Unauthorised Incidents reported in relation to the Company’s DWI consents.
During the year, the Company demonstrated a high level of …
