It is also possible for Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga (Heritage New Zealand) to declare a

Consent required from Heritage New Zealand
An authority (consent) from Heritage New Zealand should be obtained prior to the
latest trends for ecological health and the physical and
chemical state of our rivers and streams show most
measures are improving or not changing significantly,
and are again the best since measurements began.
This is no accident. The Taranaki community continues
to invest heavily in measures that protect and enhance
the region’s waterways. The benefits are now becoming
more apparent and the Council remains firmly focused
on working with the Taranaki community to
receiving waters, and three air quality surveys. NPDC also
collected seven leachate samples and two under-liner drainage samples for physicochemical
analysis.
At inspection issues were found in regards to site management, and although most of them
were resolved and none resulted in significant off site effects, a number of issues were
recurrent, or remained unresolved at the end of the monitoring period.
Groundwater and under liner drainage sampling indicated that there is no significant
raised
around whether radioactivity is associated with hydrocarbon exploration and production.
There are two central issues: does the recovery of natural gas and condensate bring with it
the potential for release of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs), and
secondly, is there a health risk associated with the use or disposal of radioactive isotope
tracers that may be used during activities associated with drilling or fracturing?
It should be noted first of all that the use of
would be expected in an
intensively farmed region, but signifi cantly,
over time, it is either not changing or has
measurably improved. This is despite
expansion and intensifi cation of our
agricultural sector over the past fi ve to
10 years. Positive movements towards
sustainability continue in our erosion-prone
inland hill country. Improvements in air
emissions from our major industries have
continued over the last fi ve years and, by all
measures, we
injection records were supplied to the Council during the 2012-2013
monitoring period. In total 11,577 cubic metres (m3) of fluids were discharged under consent
4728-2, and 3,083 m3 under consent 9545-1. An assessment of process data provided by the
consent holder and data gathered during Council inspections does not indicate any potential
issues with the integrity of the injection well or the injection zones.
Groundwater monitoring carried out by the Council in the vicinity of the Cheal-A
most popular spots in the region is already provided for by district council or DOC parks
and reserves, and esplanade strips.
Access to the coast
The Taranaki coast is important for a range of recreation including fishing and diving, boating and
swimming, board sports such as surfing and kitesurfing, and walking. Access to beaches, rivers and lakes
in Taranaki is one of the key factors influencing recreational habits.
Formal access
Public roads offer the greatest degree of public
since the system was adopted in 2001.
The biomonitoring surveys in 2015-2016 did not find any detrimental impact on the river
caused by discharges from the meat plant to either land or water.
During the 2015-2016 monitoring period most of the total plant effluent was sprayed onto
grazed pasture. The irrigation period lasted 32 weeks, between 28 October 2015 and 6 July
2016, that included the low flow periods for the river. The limit on nitrogen loading was
complied with overall, though there
