hydraulic fracturing activities undertaken by Origin had no adverse effects on local groundwater or surface water resources. There were no unauthorised incidents recording non-compliance in respect of the resource consents, or provisions in regional plans, during the period under review. Overall, Origin 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

However, we cannot allow complications and difficulties to overwhelm and paralyse us. We must work together on the things that will make the greatest difference. There cannot be a one-size-fits-all solution. Threats vary and require different interventions depending on situation, location and context. However, a core message here
any issues with any injection well currently in use, or the ability of the receiving formation to accept injected fluids. The results of groundwater quality monitoring undertaken show no adverse effects of the activity. 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
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 habitats,
Consultation has identified further potential to develop a key identity and marketing opportunity for the region itself as the ‘Taranaki Garden’ or ‘Taranaki Experience’. The Taranaki Garden/Experience concept links the three gardens to the greater Taranaki natural and cultural environments that make the region unique within New Zealand. The environments include the many parks, walkways, rivers, lakes, mountain and coastal, urban and rural resources that offer broad conservation, education and

There is no evidence of any issues with any injection well currently in use, or the ability of the receiving formation to accept injected fluids. The results of groundwater quality monitoring undertaken show no adverse effects of the activity at monitored locations.

Historically the sound waves were generated by explosive charges, but this technology was abandoned many decades ago. So in terms of the RMA there is a discharge of noise/energy and a temporary occupation of space. As a consequence, these activities must be authorised by either a rule in regional [coastal] plan, or by resource consent (refer sections
