Colin Boyd holds three resource consents, and Surrey Road Landfarms Limited (a subsidiary
company in relation to the landfarming operations at this site) holds one. Three of these
consents permit the discharge of drilling waste onto and into land via landfarming or
landspreading, and one consent permits the discharge of stormwater. The consents include a
total of 64 conditions setting out the requirements that

or inhabit that part by virtue of a tenancy, lease, licence, or other
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
recommendations to be implemented in the 2014-2015 monitoring
year.
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 Resource Management Act (1991) (RMA) 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
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

We
that particular regard be given to the ‘maintenance
and enhancement of the quality of the environment’. Therefore a key determinant for the Council
is to identify where trends in water quality show no change (‘maintenance’) and/or
improvement (‘enhancement’), or alternatively show decline. With the availability of a
suitable period (minimum of ten years) of robust data and access to appropriate statistical
software, temporal trend analyses were performed for state of the environment reporting
presented at the end of the report.
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) physical effects on the locality, including landscape,
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.
