commencing irrigation in November or December and concluding in February. Rainfall recorded at the
Council’s monitoring locations over the summer irrigation period ranged between 55 % and 111% of
historical mean values. A particularly dry November and December lead to a drought being declared in
Taranaki during 23 December 2017. As a result, irrigation water demand was high during the 2017-2018
irrigation season, with a total water use across all exercised irrigation

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.
During the year, the Company demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The Resource Management Act 1991 (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
consents to discharge water or sediment into the Makara,
Mangaotea, and Mako streams, one consent to discharge wastes to land around Lake Ratapiko
and four land use permits for bed disturbance and structures in the Manganui River,
Mangaotea Stream and Lake Ratapiko. Seven additional consents allow Trustpower to abstract
water, and construct and maintain structures in the Mangaotea Stream.
During the period under review, Trustpower demonstrated a good level of environmental
performance at the
interpretation, and their significance for the
environment.
Section 4 presents recommendations to be implemented in the 2013-2015 monitoring
year.
A glossary of common abbreviations and scientific terms, and a bibliography, are

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
