Petrochem demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance and compliance
with the resource consents over the reporting period.

Swamp vegetation (such as rush or sedge)

Executive summary
The Council’s Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki identifies the use of pesticides as an
activity that needs to be appropriately managed in order to safeguard the ecological health of
the region’s waterways and the health of those who rely on them, including through
municipal water supplies. Also, the National Environmental Standard for Sources of

performance during the period under review, and the results and effects of the consent
holder’s activities.
The Council’s monitoring programme included three regular inspections and two biological
receiving water surveys. No intermittent wet weather overflows occurred during the period
under review.
Regular inspections indicated no problems with the ponds’ system maintenance or operation,

analysis of samples for a range of chemical and isotopic analysis.
The results of the monitoring carried out by the Council indicates that the hydraulic fracturing
activities undertaken by Todd have had no adverse effects on local groundwater resources.
There were no Unauthorised Incidents recording non-compliance in respect of the resource

It is extremely heartening to be involved with or

action can be taken if there is any threat of an event. Taranaki is less likely to
experience earthquakes and liquefaction than other regions because of the geographical distance from New
Zealand’s major fault lines and the types of soil in the region. However, being on the coast means the region
could be affected by storm surges or earthquake-created
tsunami. The Taranaki coastline has high rates of erosion.
