no change (‘maintenance’) and/or improvement (‘enhancement’), in either case aligning with the objective
of the RMA, or alternatively show decline. With the availability of a suitable period (minimum of ten years)
of robust data and access to appropriate statistical software, temporal trend analyses were performed for
state of the environment reporting purposes and reported elsewhere during 2006. Regular updates of these
temporal trends subsequently have been prepared at
used to conduct the analyses for this job. The detection limits given below are those attainable in a relatively simple matrix.
Detection limits may be higher for individual samples should insufficient sample be available, or if the matrix requires that dilutions be performed during analysis. A detection limit range
indicates the lowest and highest detection limits in the associated suite of analytes. A full listing of compounds and detection limits are available from the laboratory upon request.

During the period under review there were several instances of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)
concentrations in excess of consented limits, with an associated elevation in levels of BOD found in the
receiving waters during one of the wet weather surveys.
In the period under review the instream dissolved zinc and copper concentrations met the appropriate
USEPA acute or chronic exposure guidelines in all 18 samples. None of the 18 instream samples

cuckoo and kingfisher. The site is likely to contain a variety of other native fauna including reptiles,
native fish and invertebrates.

The Resource Management Act 1991 (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 a discharger, and may include cultural and
socio-economic effects;
b. physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual effects;
c. ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or
while for another 13% of the consents, a good level of environmental performance and
compliance was achieved.
In terms of overall environmental and compliance performance by the consent holder over the last several
years, this report shows that the consent holder’s performance remains at a good or high level.
This report includes recommendations for the 2019-2020 year.
