The monitoring showed that overall the scheme was operated well, and within resource consent
requirements, with no breaches of lake level requirements or rise and recession rate restrictions for the
lower Patea River. There were a small number of occasions when the residual flow in the Lower Patea River
dropped below the consented limit, but this was due in-part to a Transpower
Group to meet
the statutory requirements of the CDEM Act 2002.
Taranaki CDEM manages the area from Tongaporutu in the north, to Waitotara in

The 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
monitoring under the RMA and the Council’s obligations;
the Council’s approach to monitoring sites though annual programmes;
a summary of the resource consents held by SDC; and
the nature of the monitoring programme in place for the period under review.
Each of the closed landfills is then discussed in a separate section (Sections 2 to 4).
In each subsection 1 (e.g. Section 2.1) there is a general description of the landfilled site and its discharges,
