that the reefs had
become more polluted (than by the river-borne wastes) since the marine outfall was
installed (1978). Evidence was given of “sick mussels” on Orapa Reef, which were
reported to be fragile and to crumble when walked on or even squeezed by hand. It
was accepted by the Tribunal that a combination of coastal alignment and prevailing
winds was responsible for driving Waitara sewage and wastes further east along the
coast, even as far as Motunui.

Blanking
Not all of the poles planted will strike. 100% survival of
a planting is rare; 90% after the first year is a good
survival rate. Sometimes due to adverse conditions such
as cattle damage, possum browse or summer drought,
survival drops to 50% or less.
Where mortality is heavy, it’s essential to blank (re-
plant) next winter. If this isn’t done, tree spacing won’t
be sufficiently dense for roots to anchor the soil, and

has focused on the nature of potential effects arising
from the use of hydraulic fracturing (HF) fluids within production enhancement activities,
as these fluids include compounds additional to those used in drilling. These compounds
will include biocides, gelling and gel-breaking agents, inert proppants such as sand or
microscopic ceramic beads, and ‘slicking’ agents.
Normal exploration practice is to separate the recovered fluids from the entrained
hydrocarbon gas. However, under
Kaponga, or Patea treatment systems on
adjacent receiving waters were recorded in late summer-autumn under low flow conditions
during the monitoring period (at which time the Waverley system had been desludged with
bio-bugs, the Manaia system had been upgraded with the addition of two wetlands, the
Kaponga pond subsurface discharge rate was very low and receiving water dilution very high)
in early winter under higher flow conditions (when the Patea upgraded ponds system
discharged continuously),

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 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
procedural or process changes. It represents the second phase of the Government’s resource
management reform programme.
Major changes to the RMA arising from enactment of the Resource Legislation Amendment
Act concern national level policy making and direction, regional and district plan making
and the resource consents process.
Staff will be developing an implementation plan to give effect to the Resource Legislation
Amendment Act 2017 over the coming months.

Changes in the NPS-FM require regional councils to monitor ecosystem health, maintain or
improve overall water quality, manage nitrogen and phosphorus, consider economic
wellbeing in freshwater decision-making and plan (with local iwi) for Te Mana o te Wai.
