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
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.

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
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. page Table of

exercised during the 2014-2015 monitoring period. An assessment of process data provided by the consent holder and data gathered during Council inspections do not indicate any potential issues with the integrity of the injection well or the injection zone. Groundwater monitoring carried out by the Council in the vicinity of the Cheal-A wellsite does not indicate any contamination of shallow aquifers as a result of injection activities, further supporting the conclusion that the injection wells
