Section 4 presents recommendations to be implemented in the 2019-2020 monitoring year.
A glossary of common abbreviations and scientific terms, and a bibliography, are presented at the end of
the report.
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
from composting
operations.

6. The Regional Air Quality Plan (RAQP) includes the following definitions:
Waste management processes means the treatment and disposal of any
waste by combustion, composting, the depositing of waste into or onto land
set apart for that purpose, or other processes intended to allow or facilitate
such disposal.
Composting means the biological reduction of organic waste to a relatively
stable product.
7. The application is to compost,
chronic odour effects beyond the
boundary of the site. I agree with the other experts and Council that off-
site odour concentrations will decrease as compared with historic
operations, due to the proposed farm upgrades and conversion to free
range, as such I consider that future acute off-site effects are unlikely.
However, I am uncertain as to whether or not the farm changes will
sufficiently reduce observable off-site odour to below the level of detection
or low enough that it would be acceptable
required to renew seven of the eight consents. This AEE document
supports the applications for the renewal of these consents.
No new works are being proposed. The effects of the activity will remain the same or similar
as they are currently.
There are no significant changes proposed to the operation of the hydroelectric scheme. No
new equipment is proposed in the near future, and it is expected that the scheme will continue
largely in its current form.

and TPJ all demonstrated an overall high level of environmental performance.
George Family demonstrated an overall good level of environmental performance.
An improvement is required in Graham Harris’ environmental performance.
The Council's monitoring programme included 33 inspections, with each site receiving either two or three
scheduled inspections. Council also took 13 water samples for physicochemical analysis during the 2016-
2017 year.
No adverse environmental effects were
discharged into a nearby farm drain and surface water. An abatement notice and infringement fine were
issued. The abatement notice was immediately complied with. The second exercise was undertaken without
issue.
Spreading procedures were updated to prevent stockpiling of waste on paddocks prior to spreading or
landfarming.
Water treatment sludge remains lagooned in-situ at two locations on the consent holder’s property.
By comparison with previous monitoring periods, the monitoring
statutory acknowledgement are—
(d) to require consent authorities, the Environment Court, or the Historic Places Trust to have regard to the
statutory acknowledgements in relation to Part of Mimi-Pukearuhe Coast Marginal Strip as provided for in
sections 50 to 52; and
(e) to require relevant consent authorities to forward summaries of resource consent applications to the
trustees, as provided for in section 54; and
(f) to enable the trustees and a member of Ngāti Mutunga to cite the

copy of the Plan will be available on the Taranaki Regional Council website in
PDF format.
Controlled copies will be issued to the holder of each major function listed in Figure 3.
Where two or more such functions are carried out by the same person, only one controlled
copy of the Plan will be issued.
In this Annex a list of controlled copies of the Plan will be maintained. When the Plan is first
issued this section will contain a ‘Transfer Form’ and a ‘Change of Address Notification’
