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 page 2 include cultural and socio-economic effects; (b) physical effects on the locality,

Section 4 presents recommendations to be implemented in the 2016-2017 monitoring year.

As in recent years, latest monitoring shows the ecological health of waterways at or near the best ever recorded. An independent study by NIWA has confirmed that fencing and planting the waterways is a direct factor in these improvements, as well as a reduction in bacteria levels.

found in the receiving waters of the Piakau Stream. There were no adverse effects on the environment resulting from the exercise of the air discharge consents. The ambient air quality monitoring at the site 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 boundary during inspections and there were no complaints in relation to

unauthorised incidents recording non-compliance in respect of the resource consent, or provisions in regional plans, during the period under review. Todd demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance and compliance with the resource consent over the reporting period. For reference, in the 2012-2013 year, 35% of consent holders in Taranaki monitored through tailored compliance monitoring programmes achieved a high level of environmental performance and compliance with
review, the Company held two resource consents for the injection of fluids by DWI, at their KA1/7/19/20 wellsite, Palmer Road, Kapuni, and the KA9 wellsite, Lower Duthie Road, Kapuni. Consent 1336-3 permits the discharge of up to 2,000 cubic metres/day of produced water and approved contaminants by deep well injection into the Matemateaonga Formation via well KW-2 or into the Mangahewa Formation via contingency back-up wells KA-1 and KA-7. Consent 9970-1 permits the discharge of waste fluids
Limited’s gauges, which was just over twice the guideline rate. In the 2012-2013 year there were 38 air related incidents in the Waiwhakaiho airshed recorded on Council’s Unauthorised Incidents Register, only six of which were substantiated at the time of investigation. Issues with the potential for effects were identified in three other cases and preventative measures were agreed upon. The complaints related to a variety of issues, namely odour, dust, or smoke. None of the substantiated air
