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
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

For reference, in the 2011-2013 year, 35% of consent holders in Taranaki monitored through tailored compliance monitoring programmes achieved a high level of environmental performance and compliance with their consents, while another 59% demonstrated a good level of environmental performance and compliance with their consents.
