demonstrated a good
level of environmental performance and compliance with their consents.
In terms of overall environmental and compliance performance by the consent holder over the
last several years, this report shows that the consent holder’s remains at a good or high level.
Components of a suitable monitoring programme for 2016-2017 have been identified and
included in recommendations to this report.

piezometer
or seismic survey into and
under land
46 Any person who undertakes the activity must, within 4 weeks of
completion of any bore for taking and use of water or any
piezometer, submit to the Taranaki Regional Council a Bore
Completion Log;
All bores must be cased and sealed to prevent the potential for
aquifer cross-contamination or leakage from the surface;
The well or bore shall be located not less than 50m from any
effluent treatment pond, septic tank, silage stack or
and paper residue [excluding any pulping wastes that
have been subject to chemical pulping or treated or mixed with any substance or
material containing chlorine or chlorinated compounds];
. Solid drilling cuttings from hydrocarbon exploration provided they are blended down
to a maximum
hydrocarbon content of 5.0 % total petroleum hydrocarbon within 3 days of being
onsite;
. Water based and synthetic based drilling fluids from hydrocarbon exploration
provided they are blended down
and the

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act (1991) and monitoring
The Resource Management Act 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 a discharger, and may
include cultural and socio-economic effects;
(b)
one kaimoana survey at five sites and two intertidal sand inspections
along the New Plymouth foreshore.
The results of intertidal surveys, kaimoana survey and sand inspections did not indicate that
the disposal of dredged material was having a significant impact on the abundance or
diversity of intertidal species, including key kaimoana species. Natural sand movement was
likely to have a greater impact than the disposal of sand from dredging.
During the period, the Company demonstrated
accompanying adults.
Feedback told us that our programmes :
are highly motivating
provide hands-on experience
provide a meaningful context for students to explore concepts such as sustainability and conservation
provide opportunities to develop key competencies, essential skills and values
involve a range of learning areas in the NZ curriculum
inspire students to ‘make a difference’ in their own environment, whether that be at home,
at school or in their local
superseding Rugby Park. In 2017-18 the structure of one grandstand and the ground below the other
at Yarrow Stadium have been found to be insufficiently stable to withstand earthquakes. Significant
investment shall be required to repair or replace the stands or the stadium. The purpose of this report
is to assess the value of the Yarrow Stadium to the Taranaki community over the last 15 years. This
can assist decisions on the necessary investment.
Our findings are that the
reporting the only active site is the
Spence site, however all three sites are continually monitored and reported on annually, as
consents have not expired or been surrendered.
This report for the period July 2011-June 2013 describes the monitoring programmes
implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council to assess Origin Energy’s environmental
performance during the period under review, and the results and environmental effects of
Origin Energy’s activities.
Origin Energy holds two resource
