page If your day-to-day activities involve the collection, processing or storage of materials such as oils, solvents, acids, paints, foodstuffs and other chemicals, please consider how your activity could potentially pollute the environment. What causes pollution?

groundwater samples, and 6 surface water samples. This report outlines all of the consents held by the STDC, reports on the baseline monitoring activities carried out in the 2012-2013 period, and discusses the results. STDC demonstrated a high level of compliance with its resource consents. No rating is given for environmental effects as no discharges or in-stream works have yet to occur. No incidents were recorded by Council in regards to this site during the period under review. This
the monitoring programme in place for the period under review, and a description of the activities and operations conducted at SDC landfill sites. Each of the closed landfills is then discussed in a separate section (Sections 2 to 4). In each subsection 1 (e.g. Section 2.1) there is a general description of the landfilled site and its discharges, an aerial photograph or map showing the location of the former landfill, and an outline of the matters covered by the water discharge permit.
unnamed tributary of the Waiau Stream. Samples of hydraulic fracturing fluids, and fluids returning to the wellhead post-fracturing, were also obtained for physicochemical analysis in order to characterise the discharges and to determine compliance with consent conditions. The monitoring carried out by the Council indicates that the hydraulic fracturing activities undertaken by GPL had no significant adverse effects on local groundwater or surface water resources. There were no unauthorised

the economy. Even the 1995-1996 Ruapehu eruptions, although small by world standards, highlighted the vulnerability of society to minor eruptions. A further consideration is that, more often than not, indications of subsurface volcanic activity, such as increased earthquakes or above-ground gas changes, may not result in an eruption. These “unrest” phenomena may be hazardous in themselves, and cause uncertainty in the population and decision makers (for instance, which areas should be
