In most small incidents our emergency services (Police, Fire and providers of health and disability services) can cope on their own. Where they can’t, either due to the scale of the event, or there is a need for more legislative powers, then civil defence emergency management measures are used.

In each of the first subsections (e.g. Section 2.1) there is a general description of the concrete plant, its processes and discharges, an aerial photograph or map, and an outline of the matters covered by the consent holder’s water discharge permit. Subsection 2 presents the results of monitoring of the consent holder’s activities

Effects may arise in relation to: (a) the
discharge of a small quantity of wastewater to the Waitara stormwater network, following maintenance work on Methanex’s wastewater pipeline. The incident was considered by the Council to be reasonably unforeseeable and related to mechanical/installation failure. The event was appropriately responded to by Methanex. For this reason no enforcement response was considered suitable or necessary. During the year, Methanex demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrational performance
reference, in the 2016-2017 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental performance and compliance for 74% of the consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored monitoring programmes, while for another 21% of the consents, a good level of environmental performance and compliance was achieved. In terms of overall environmental and compliance performance by STDC over the last several years, this report shows that the consent holder’s performance remains at a good or
(the Council) adopted a water management plan for the river in September 1991. At the end of the 2017-2018 monitoring period a total of 22 consents were held by the 14 industries monitored under this programme that discharge wastewater, stormwater and/or leachate from the industrial area at Fitzroy, New Plymouth to the lower Waiwhakaiho River and Mangaone Stream, or to land in the lower Waiwhakaiho and Mangaone Stream catchments.

They do, however, retain all necessary consents to act as contingency sites if the Regional landfill at Colson Road has to cease accepting waste, or there are transportation issues in the event of an emergency. This report covers the results and findings of the monitoring programme implemented by the Council in respect of the consents held by NPDC that relate to the

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 community around an activity, and may include cultural and social- economic effects; b. physical effects on the locality, including
structures. Changes to the programme, to be implemented from 2020-2021, are outlined within this report. During the year, NPDC demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance with their coastal structure resource consents. During the year under review there were no significant incidences or non-compliances with consent conditions. For reference, in the 2018-2019 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental performance and compliance for
