1.1.3 The Resource Management Act (1991) and monitoring
The Resource Management Act 1991 (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 an activity, and may
damage caused by the June 2015 flood.
The monitoring showed that overall the scheme was operated well, and within resource
consent requirements, with no breaches of lake level requirements, residual flow requirements
or rise and recession rate restrictions for the lower Patea River. The Company coordinated a
number of investigations and reports during the reporting period. The bulk of the required
monitoring has been undertaken prior to the 2015-2016 period, although the current report
1991 (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
effects;
(c) ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or habitats, whether aquatic
with any injection well
currently in use, or the ability of the receiving formation to accept injected fluids. The results of groundwater
quality monitoring undertaken show no adverse effects of the activity on local groundwater resources.
Inspections undertaken during the monitoring year found sites being operated in a professional manner
and there were no Unauthorised Incidents in relation to any of the Company’s DWI consents.
During the year, the Company demonstrated a high level of
environment.
Section 4 presents recommendations to be implemented in the 2018-2019 monitoring year.

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The Resource Management Act 1991 (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:
surveys of receiving waters,
and four ambient air quality analyses.
During the monitoring year there were no incidents logged by Council associated with
NPDC’s landfills covered in this report.
During the year, NPDC demonstrated a high level of environmental performance and
compliance with the resource consents for the closed landfills at Inglewood, Okato, and Okoki.
No monitoring was scheduled or required at Marfell or Oakura landfill sites during the year
under review.
For
Comments: I believe that only those that are voted for should be representatives on the
council or government not appointed by their race,
Taranaki rate payers have already clearly shown that they don't support
Maori Wards hence why they have petitioned previously and the fact that
the government is taking a stance against people apposing the Maori
Wards is not right as it should be every New Zealanders right to be able to
petition something if they don't believe in it and feel it will drive people
Regional Council (the Council) adopted a water
management plan for the river in September 1991.
At the end of the 2015-2016 monitoring period a total of 22 consents were held by the 14
industries monitored under this programme that discharge wastewater, stormwater and/or
leachate from the industrial area at Fitzroy, New Plymouth to the lower Waiwhakaiho River
and Mangaone Stream, or to land in the lower Waiwhakaiho and Mangaone Stream
catchments. The activities and impacts of the consent
