sites were inspected on three occasions
during the monitoring year. A summary of the notes made during these inspections is
given below.
2.1.1 9 August 2012
A site visit was made to conduct a compliance monitoring inspection. It was raining at
the time of the inspection with 14 mm falling over the past 72 hours.
A meeting was held at the site office with the director of the Company to discuss the
new consents. The requirement to provide management plans was also discussed.

and 36 of the RFWP do not include any matters of control that expressly allow for the consideration of
matters such as those expressed in the NPS-FM objective. Given that the Council can only consider policies
that relate to the matters over which the Council has reserved control through the plan itself, the Council is
unable to take into account matters that fall outside this scope.

stormwater falling on the non-process areas of the western half of the site (Figure 1) is
directed by “v” ditches running alongside the roads to a dam/pond and then out to the Tasman Sea via the
Manu Stream. Stormwater falling on the eastern side of the site is directed to unnamed tributaries of the
Waihi Stream via outfalls and a small sedimentation pond.
Sludge from the storm pond, off-spec pond and blow down pond stored in lagoons 2, 3, and 4 was
removed during 2006. The sludge in lagoon 1 is …
review of the Regional Freshwater Plan, the Committee was told. Overseer was never designed or intended for use as a regulatory tool, but solely for use at individual farm-management level. Seven regional councils currently make use of Overseer as a regulatory tool in some way. TRC is among the nine which do not use it.

sound? Are they practical, efficient and reasonable? And most importantly, what impacts will they have on families and communities? The information supplied so far by the Government and its advisers would appear to fall short of adequately answering these questions. We hope that Wellington will give the Taranaki experience the careful consideration we believe it deserves. A major concern is that as they stand, the Government’s proposals would frustrate and set back the good work happening here. The
being undertaken to reduce the footprint of the pad. This would greatly reduce the volume of stormwater
collected within the pad. Consequently there would be less pumping to the wetland treatment system and
therefore, generally an increase of retention time within the treatment system. RNZ were instructed to
ensure that uncontaminated storm water runoff was unable to enter the paunch pad, so that only the rain
that falls into the pond is required to be pumped through the wetland treatment
during an exceptional rain event. Investigation found compliance
with the relevant consent.
Abstraction volumes complied with the consent limit. Telemetry of abstraction data to
Council was installed in October 2012, with provision for transmission of cooling water flow
and temperature data in the future, if required.
Graeme Lowe Protein Ltd (meat rendering plant) demonstrated an overall high level of
environmental performance.
The Company holds four resource consents, to allow it to
significant costs but with little purpose or community benefit.
Proposed broad-brush national requirements for excluding stock from waterways fall short of what is actually required to reduce faecal contamination, and risk undermining successful and proven local initiatives such as Taranaki’s award-winning riparian planting and fencing programme.
It should be up to councils working with their local communities to decide which rivers and lakes are most important for swimming, whether and how urgently
those that are potentially more suitable
to be managed under other frameworks such as the Building Act (e.g. ash fall impacts on buildings). In collaboration with Taranaki
councils, we call on the Government to support further work in this area to ensure volcanic hazards are appropriately managed.
• Note further work is also needed around how the resource management regime can support the resilience of primary production to
the impacts of natural hazards.
