quality guidelines
1. Introduction
This appendix provides guidelines for resource consents.
The water quality guidelines are expressed in terms of the receiving water rather than the
discharge. Thus, conditions on a resource consent must take account of the effects of, for
instance, mixing and existing discharges. This is specified in the guidelines with the
phrases “After reasonable mixing” and “the contaminant, either by itself or in combination
with other contaminants”. The
essential to maintain agricultural productivity and resilience into the future.
However, while many studies have been conducted internationally, very little is known about the
impact of intensification on biodiversity in New Zealand, or about the status of biodiversity in
New Zealand’s agricultural landscapes. Hence the effect of agricultural intensification on
biodiversity has been identified as a critical knowledge gap and high priority for study.
One common component of agricultural
opinion that may be present, nor for the consequences of any
decisions based on this information. Any view or opinion expressed does not
necessarily represent the view of the Ministry for Primary Industries.

assessment of the actual or potential effect on the environment of the activity:
(c) if the activity includes the use of hazardous substances and installations, an assessment of
any risks to the environment that are likely to arise from such use:
(d) if the activity includes the discharge of any contaminant, a description of—
(i) the nature of the discharge and the sensitivity of the receiving environment to adverse
effects; and
(ii) any possible alternative methods of discharge, including
that there was little difference in health of stream-bed communities above and below
the rendering plants’ site or the irrigation areas.
The total area of land utilised for irrigation increased, from 269 ha to 291 ha, in 2012-2013. At
the end of the review period, 319 ha was available. About 50 ha was planted in maize and
turnips, of which about 48 ha was irrigated with wastewater before and during the growing
season. The reported average annual nitrogen loading from wastewater irrigation

Land remediation
The vast majority of sites investigated in Taranaki show no evidence of contamination and
those sites that are high-risk have been cleaned up. There was a substantial effort made in
the 1990s to identify sites and, where necessary, undertake further investigation and
remediation. Sites in the Taranaki region that have the potential to be or could currently
be considered contaminated continue to be identified and
Māori Values
Mātauranga Māori can be translated as meaning ‘Māori knowledge’ or ‘traditional knowledge’,
however, this single translation does not adequately capture the nuances and multi-faceted
dimensions of this phrase. It is effectively captured by Bay of Plenty Regional Council in their
document ‘He Korowai Mātauranga - Mātauranga Māori Framework’ when they state:
Mātauranga Māori
Mātauranga Māori not only refers to the knowledge that Māori have, but encompasses
