For reference, in the 2013-2014 year, 60% of consent holders in Taranaki monitored through
tailored compliance monitoring programmes achieved a high level of environmental
performance and compliance with their consents, while another 29% demonstrated a good

a. the neighbourhood or the wider community around an activity, and may include cultural and social-
economic effects;

d. natural and physical resources having special significance
to the distance of the wellsite to the nearest stream being approximately 30m, the
stream was visually inspected by an Inspecting Officer on each occasion. Chemical analysis or
a bio-monitoring survey were un-necessary as no evidence of effects on the stream
environment were observed by the Inspecting Officer.
Staff on-site were cooperative with requests made by officers of the Council, with any required
works being completed quickly and to a satisfactory standard.

Biomonitoring in the Mangahewa Stream showed that while the community health at the
upstream site continued to improve, the downstream site did not follow a similar trend. This
may be related to the historical hydrocarbon contamination present in the stream sediment.
Sampling of the sediments in the period under review found no detectable hydrocarbons

The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review was comprised of two
inspections, assessing the types of materials being received and how the discharge to land is
being managed.
During the year, the consent holder demonstrated a high level of environmental performance
and a high level of administrative performance. There were no incidents logged or complaints
received by Council about the site during the period under review.
