page If your day-to-day activities involve the use of water blasting equipment, you should consider the potential your activity has to pollute the environment. What causes pollution? Poor work practices while water blasting may be causing some of these common problems: • Discharges of contaminants including sediment, paint, oil, heavy metals, chemical cleaners and organic waste to the ground or stormwater system • Foaming water in the stormwater system • Blockage
2015/16-2020/21 (the RLTP or the Plan); to present a draft revised version of the Plan for the Committee’s consideration and feedback on any changes the Committee wishes to make, noting that there are a number of aspects of the Plan which are still evolving; to seek support of the updated Programme tables within Section 5 of the Plan – o proposed ‘business as usual’ activities in Section 5.1 (Table 3) o proposed ‘regionally significant’ activities in Section 5.3 (Table 4) including the
potential adverse effects to downstream ecological receptors such as fish or invertebrate values, but rather focuses on management improvements at the Composting Site. It is envisaged as part of the upcoming consent variation to increase the irrigation areas, that a separate Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE) will be undertaken for that consent application. 1.1.1 Activity Description The Remediation NZ facility at Uruti processes compost material and drilling mud and fluid, from
Patea, Rahotu, Waimate West, Oaonui and Waverley plants in regards to daily volumes or abstraction rates. However all of these plants were compliant for over 98% of the monitoring 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
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
groundwater in the vicinity of the site. A glossary of common abbreviations and scientific terms, a bibliography and appendices are presented at the end of the report. 1.1.3 The Resource Management Act (1991) and monitoring The Resource Management Act (the 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

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 adverse, temporary or permanent, past, present or future, or
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. 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

2015/16 – 2020/21: Mid-term Review for the 2018/19 period…………………………………………………..……84 page iii 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
