the lake level dropped below the minimum authorised level has increased.
On one occasion, it appears that the lake level remained low for some time, and dead eels were
noted on the exposed lake bed. It should be noted that the Company never generated when
the lake level was at or below the minimum authorised level during the reporting period, and
that leakage is the principle cause when a low lake level occurred. These leaks may require
some investigation by the Company. There is still
standard. This elevated chloride result was most likely
attributed to the abundance of activity associated with the removal of the drill rig and
associated equipment from the wellsite at this time. In addition, as the skimmer pit
discharge at the wellsite is directly to land, thus the discharge would have reduced through
filtration and as it was a temporary and isolated event, the discharge was therefore unlikely
to have had any significant or on-going adverse effect on the receiving environment.

being managed.
During the year, the consent holder demonstrated a high level of environmental performance
and compliance with the resource consents. There were no incidents logged or complaints
received by Council about the site during the period under review.
This report includes recommendations for the 2013-2014 year.

the conditions that might be attached to a resource
consent for the discharge of contaminants into the air
from piggeries (refer rules 47 to 50).
Applicants and resource consent holders will also be

Common practices for removing spent liquids and sludges
from dips included gravity drainage to lower ground,
pumping or bucketing liquid from the sump and shovelling
of residual sludge onto a
abattoir and rendering plant, located on Mountain Road at
Stratford, in the Kahouri Stream catchment, a tributary of the Patea River. The Company currently processes
only beef. Wastewater is treated in a two pond system, which is either irrigated to land when conditions
allow, or to the Kahouri Stream, ideally during high flow conditions. This report for the period July 2018 to
June 2019 describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the
Council) to assess the
‘effects’ which are defined as positive or
