The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or

a. the neighbourhood or the wider community around a discharger, and may include cultural and
socio-economic effects;

the period under review included two inspections
and one investigation. A total of nine water samples were collected for physicochemical
analyses during the reported period.
Stormwater was managed to avoid contact with chemicals stored on-site. All wastewater was
either disposed of directly to trade waste or temporarily stored in the bunded area of the site
before being removed off-site for disposal or recycling at an approved facility.

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
included two inspections and
four water samples collected for physicochemical analysis.
The monitoring showed that no environmental impacts were found. The site was capped,
contoured and, for the most part, vegetated appropriately. On one inspection a minor amount
of stock damage was observed in localised spots on the slope towards the stream, however
there was no significant erosion or exposed refuse found. There were no unauthorised
incidents recording non-compliance in respect of this
environmental performance and compliance
with their consents, while another 21% demonstrated a good level of environmental performance and
compliance with their consents.
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 in the year
under review.
This report includes recommendations for the 2017-2018 year.

No incidents were recorded by Council in relation to the galvanising plant during the reported
period.
During the monitoring period, the Company demonstrated a high level of environmental
and administrative performance with the resource consents.
For reference, in the 2015-2016 year, 71% of consent holders in Taranaki monitored through
tailored compliance monitoring programmes
best practice;
• Ensure environmental effects (hazards) associated with the remediation of waste have
been identified and that effective strategies for managing these are in place;
• Identify waste streams and the management of these;
• Provide procedures and guidelines for action in the event of a hydrocarbon or hazardous
substance spill;
