effects management hierarchy.”
The effects management hierarchy referred to requires that (in order);
(a) adverse effects are avoided where practicable; and
(b) where adverse effects cannot be avoided, they are minimised where practicable; and
(c) where adverse effects cannot be minimised, they are remedied where practicable; and
(d) where more than minor residual adverse effects cannot be avoided, minimised, or remedied,
aquatic offsetting is provided where possible; and
abbreviations and scientific terms, and a bibliography, are

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 effects on the
tributaries 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
Todd had no significant adverse effects on local groundwater or surface water resources. There were no
unauthorised incidents
