tenor of the decision and the conditions attached to the approved marine consent clearly
confirm that offshore drilling in the Taranaki region has negligible if any environmental
effects, with the possible exception of marine biosecurity and on iwi interests, both of
which are able to be managed appropriately according to the DMC. Salient points from
the STOS decision are attached as Appendix 6.
One issue raised by submitters
loadings on irrigation areas, bio-filter
performance and weather conditions. The Council undertakes inspections of the plant site,
irrigation and burial areas; water quality and biological monitoring in the Inaha Stream and its
tributaries; riparian management, and groundwater surveys, and facilitates community and
Iwi engagement meetings.
The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included 14 inspections, 192

Predator-Free Taranaki
It’s important to determine what
predators are where before placing
traps. A number of schools have
been tracking and mapping
predators around their school
grounds and local bush using
tracking tunnels, chew cards and
wax tags. Some students have even
made their own monitoring gear.
No shortage of rats, mice and
hedgehogs have been detected.
