encouraged as a means of extending pastoralism and improving farm productivity and

During the two years, the STDC demonstrated a high level of compliance with the resource
consent and environmental performance in relation to the consent. During the years under
review there were no unauthorised incidents or any adverse effects on the receiving
environment in relation to Consent 3769-3. However, unrelated to Consent 3769-3, an
abatement notice was issued as a result of green waste and domestic rubbish dumped at the

was repaired during the period under review.
During the monitoring period Waverley Sawmills demonstrated a good level of
environmental performance and compliance with consent conditions. The culvert at Monk

related to their operation, with various mitigation measures either planned or underway.
