1.1.3 The Resource Management Act (1991) and monitoring
The Resource Management Act 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,
resource consents. There was no evidence of any issues with any injection well
or the ability of the receiving formation to accept injected fluids, during the period under review. The results
of groundwater quality monitoring undertaken show no adverse effects of the activity at monitored
locations. 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.
