is then discussed in a separate section (Sections 2 to 8)
In each subsection 1 (e.g. Section 2.1) there is a general description of the landfilled site and its discharges,
an aerial photograph or map showing the location of the former landfill, and an outline of the matters
covered by the water discharge permit.
Subsection 2 presents the results of monitoring of the STDC’s activities at each of the sites during the
period under review, including scientific and technical data.
how the Government will address the
aforementioned initiatives. Accordingly, at this point of time it is not possible to
anticipate how these Government initiatives may impact or contribute to the Council’s
programmes. As always, the devil will be in the detail. However, the Council will
endeavour to gain the maximum advantage of the programmes for the region and
minimise the cost impact of the package, given the Council has just completed its
financial planning for 2019/20.

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 a discharger, and may include cultural and
socio-economic effects;
b. physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual
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.
During the spring survey sampling was limited due

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.
