period.
In the 2012-2013 year there were two incidents recorded against STDC in regards to not
having telemetry installed at the Otakeho Stream and Mangawhero Stream intakes. An
abatement notice was issued and STDC are currently addressing the matter at the time of the
preparation of this report with a deadline for
groundwater in the vicinity of the site.

The Resource Management Act (the Act) primarily addresses environmental `effects'
which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or permanent, past, present or

requisite upgrade to the Patea wastewater treatment
system was completed by mid 2008, the Kaponga system by June 2008, the Waverley system
by early 2009, and the Manaia system by early 2010.
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, Kaponga, or Patea treatment systems on adjacent
receiving waters were recorded in late summer-autumn under
the results, their interpretation, and their significance for the
environment.

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. A temporary
reduction in macroinvertebrate health was recorded in the unnamed tributary of the Manganui River during
the hydraulic fracturing programme and additional sediment sampling was

FOREWORD
Under changes to the Land Transport Management Act 2003 introduced in
2013, regional transport committees are required to develop a regional
land transport plan, in consultation with their community and stakeholders,
every six years.
The first such plan for the region, the Regional Land Transport Plan for
Taranaki 2015/16 -2020/21(the Plan or RLTP), was
dumping at the Ahititi site (primarily motorhome waste) must be eliminated
— the worm farm facility cannot accept or process human waste and associated
disinfectants.
Alternatively, the effluent will be transported to the New Plymouth WWTP for
disposal. There are significant expenses associated with this option such as the
construction of a weeping wall facility, the ongoing costs of transporting the
effluent to the WWTP and the disposal of solids (likely to Colson Road Landfill).

Monitoring of the Herekawe catchment consisted of eight inspections and discharge
sampling on three or four occasions for most sites. The Herekawe Stream itself was sampled
on seven occasions and four biomonitoring surveys were conducted.
Site inspections for both catchments consistently revealed no areas of concern. Sites were
found to be well maintained, bunded areas secure and stormwater treatment systems
operating effectively. Macroinvertebrate community index (MCI) values from
