Compliance monitoring programme reports and the Resource 1.2
Management Act 1991
The Resource Management Act primarily addresses environmental `effects' which
are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or permanent, past,
for pesticide analysis, and two biomonitoring surveys of receiving waters. The Company
provided groundwater and air quality data from monitoring carried out by independent consultants.
The monitoring showed that DAS has had no significant impact on air quality in the vicinity of the plant or
on water quality in the Herekawe Stream. No complaints in relation to DAS’s activities were registered by
the Council. There were no Unauthorised Incidents recording non-compliance in respect of this
faecal contamination of seawater as a result of the
treatment system.
During the 2014-2015 monitoring year, the STDC demonstrated a good level of administrative
compliance with the resource consent and a high level of environmental performance in
relation to the consent. During the year there were no unauthorised incidents or any adverse
effects on the receiving environment in relation to Consent 3769-3.
This report includes recommendations for the 2015-2016 year.

Waitara Road at Brixton, Waitara, in the Waiongana catchment. The operations at this site
mainly involve packaged dairy related products. Goods are stored under roofed catchments
with the remaining areas being paved or gravel. The site also has a truck wash facility with
waste water draining to sumps and then to the stormwater system.
This report for the period July 2014 to June 2015 describes the monitoring programme
implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess the
system worked effectively.
Owing to the distance of the wellsite to the nearest stream being approximately 13 metres, the
stream was visually inspected by an Inspecting Officer on each occasion. Chemical analysis or
a biomonitoring survey were unnecessary 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
interpretation, and their significance for the
environment.
