analysis at the Rimu Production Station, and three at the
Waihapa Production Station, two biological surveys of receiving waters in relation to the
Waihapa Production Station, and one ambient air quality survey at the Waihapa Production
Station.
The monitoring showed that the Company’s production stations were well managed and
maintained. There appeared to be no adverse environmental effects resulting from activities at
either the Waihapa site or the Rimu site. This is in line with the
technical data.
Section 3 discusses the results, their interpretations, and their significance for the
environment.
Section 4 presents recommendations to be implemented in the 2016-2017 monitoring
year.
A glossary of common abbreviations and scientific terms, and a bibliography, are
presented at the end of the report.

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or
community
to deliver quality outputs across a wide range of Council
acti viti es. Ongoing monitoring by the Council shows that the
region has a generally good and healthy environment that is
being maintained and improved with ti me and investment,
conti nuing the work reported on in recent years.
In all its acti viti es, the Council has kept a clear focus on
conti nuous improvements in service, quality and producti vity
whether in resource management, biosecurity, transport or
other areas of
ponds sewage treatment systems, one consent is held to discharge treated
stock truck effluent (Waverley), and one consent covers the discharge of untreated municipal
sewage in emergencies (Patea).
Monitoring was performed to ensure continued maintenance and efficient operation of all
treatment systems plus compliance with discharge permits' conditions.
No significant impacts of the Waverley, Manaia, Kaponga, or Patea treatment systems on
adjacent receiving waters were recorded in late
upgraded in April 2014, in response to an
abatement notice issued upon exceedance of the limit on receiving water temperature increase
in summer 2013. The temperature limit was complied with throughout 2013-2014 and 2014-
2015, except for a short period while the additional cooling system was being installed.
The Company operates a ‘dual’ wastewater disposal system, in which discharge may be either
to the Inaha Stream directly or to the Company’s dairy farm by spray irrigation. In 2006-2007,

exercise one or more of the following: suspend or cancel any delivery of Plants; re-take
possession of the Plants where possible; bring any proceeding or claim against the Customer for any unpaid amounts (including costs of
and incidental to enforcement and collection of debt).
3.0 COLLECTION
3.1 The Customer, or their nominated Contractor, shall pick-up and collect the Plants from a nominated location at any time during the
Collection Period. The Collection Period shall be a period of one
terraces.
• Zone C: Mt Taranaki volcanic ring plain:
i. Sub Zone C1: Holocene deposits (coarse grained)
ii. Sub Zone C2: Pleistocene deposits (fine grained)
Within these broad zones are areas of localised variability. This variability means that broadscale
assumptions on the geological materials cannot be made for each zone. It is not possible to
conclude that all the dissected hill country contains low permeability siltstones and mudstones, or
that the ring plain contains
local authority and
generally looks after region-wide issues rather than local
issues.
It is different from a territorial authority (which is either a
city or district council), but there are no differences in the
way that they operate.
Q2 What do regional councils do? A Regional councils’ responsibilities include:
managing the effects of using freshwater, land, air
and coastal waters;
developing regional policy statements and the
common abbreviations and scientific terms, and a bibliography, are
presented at the end of the report.
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 an activity, and may include
cultural and social-economic effects;
(b) physical
