environment.
Section 4 presents recommendations to be implemented in the 2013-2015 monitoring
year.

1.2 Compliance monitoring and the Resource Management Act
(1991)
The Resource Management Act primarily addresses environmental `effects' which are
defined as positive or adverse, temporary or permanent, past, present or future,
outside the subject of the spill clean-up should be forwarded by the Media Co-
ordinator to the appropriate organisation or individual to provide that comment.
Given that the media team’s primary job is to effectively communicate the ROSC’s plans and
the response team’s actions to the media, the public and other concerned groups, the ROSC
must give the highest priority to providing access to the site and information to the media
team. Operational details need to be delegated effectively by the
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. Effects may
arise in relation to:
(a) the neighbourhood or the wider community around an activity, and may include
cultural and social-economic effects;
(b) physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual effects;
(c) ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or
supported by the findings of the
macroinvertebrate survey carried out in the stream.
There were no adverse effects noted on the environment resulting from the exercise of the air
discharge consents. The ambient air quality monitoring at the Maui Production Station
showed that levels of carbon monoxide, combustible gases, PM10 particulates and nitrogen
oxides were all below levels of concern at the time of sampling. No offensive or objectionable
odours were detected beyond the boundaries during

stock truck effluent (Waverley), one consent covers the
discharge of untreated municipal sewage in emergencies (Patea), and one consent allows for the placement
and use of a discharge structure in the Patea coastal marine area (Patea).
Monitoring was performed to ensure continued maintenance and efficient operation of all treatment
systems plus compliance with discharge permits' conditions.
No significant impacts of the Waverley, Manaia, Kaponga, or Patea treatment systems on adjacent
site was managed to a satisfactory standard in relation to stormwater and
wastewater management, with the stormwater areas of the site kept clear of any chemical
storage and all wastewater either disposed of directly to trade waste or temporarily stored in
the bunded area of the site before either being disposed of at an appropriate offsite facility or
taken for recycling.
A recommendation was made in the 2010-2012 biennial report that a small scale investigation
be carried out into the

describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess
Trustpower’s environmental performance during the period under review, and the results and
environmental effects of their activities.
Trustpower holds a total of 23 resource consents, which include a total of 186 conditions setting out the
requirements that they must satisfy. Trustpower holds five consents to allow it to take and use water, five
consents to discharge water or
