effluent to be managed as part of the farm dairy effluent system. Many farmers will need to change or upgrade their systems. In terms of pond lining, existing clay-lined systems are expected to meet the standard and the existing oxidation pond storage system is expected to provide sufficient storage for a land based discharge system in most cases. Approximately 995 farms currently discharge dairy effluent to water only or have dual water-land systems, while the

Sustainability - Positive In good vegetative condition. Key ecological processes still influence the site. Under appropriate management, it can remain resilient to existing or potential threats Representativeness - High Contains

Introduction The Resource Management Act 1991 (‘the RMA’) established new requirements for local authorities to undertake environmental monitoring. Section 35 of the RMA requires local authorities to monitor, among other things, the state of the environment of their region or district, to the extent that is appropriate to enable them to effectively carry out their functions under the

the 2015 survey, was not recorded to have extended beyond the mid-section in the 2018 survey. It has been predicted that hornwort will eventually become dominant, out-competing E. densa and L. major. While this is not expected to cause significant impacts on the ecology of Lake Rotorangi or on the hydro-electric scheme, there is now greater potential for it to spread to nearby lakes, where such impacts could be much more severe, e.g. Lake Rotokare.

line. Councils can maintain waterways at bands A-C, or seek to improve them. But they can’t go backwards and they can’t choose D unless there are exceptional circumstances. Note: It’s important not to confuse the quality bands A-D with Taranaki’s Freshwater Management Units A-D. See the separate concept sheet on Freshwater Management Units. The Taranaki situation Taranaki has 286 main river catchments and 530 named rivers. The Council’s monitoring shows that
Ex situ conservation (where species that are at risk of extinction in their native habitat are conserved by growing them in living collections in botanic gardens or similar sites) sits within the framework of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation and its 16 Targets, but particularly Target 8 which aims to have 75% of threatened species held in ex situ collections by 20201. Key factors for success in ex situ conservation are presence of a range of genetically diverse plants of
