Until May 2014, the site was known as Riverlands Eltham. The plant has an associated wastewater treatment system from which treated effluent is disposed of either to land or to the river. This report covers the Company’s processing season from October 2017 to September 2018 and describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess the Company’s environmental performance during the period under review. The report also details the results of the
2019-2020 monitoring year. A glossary of common abbreviations and scientific terms, and a bibliography, are presented at the end of the report. 1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative.

consents 7557-1 and 7558-1 to discharge emissions to air from flaring at this site, and consent 7932-1 to discharge contaminants in association with hydraulic fracturing. The Council’s monitoring programme for the period under review included 11 inspections of the site and surrounding environment. Samples were collected for physicochemical analysis. No bio-monitoring surveys of receiving waters or ambient air quality analyses were carried out. In each case, inspections found further specific

physicochemical analysis, two bio-monitoring surveys of receiving waters, and two ambient air quality analyses. The monitoring showed that site was managed in a proactive and acceptable manner; this was detailed by the Council’s Inspectorate Officer. Bio-monitoring of the Kapuni Stream also indicated the stream had little or no measurable adverse effects as a result of the discharges of storm water from the Site, with the health of the stream rated as ‘good’ to ‘better than expected’.
