The engineers, designers and architects involved in this project, were unable to identify a viable cheaper option between options 1 and 2. General Funding Questions 31. A number of submitters infer or claim the increase in rates to pay for the repair and updates is on top of the rates already being levied for the stadium. This is incorrect. Existing rating mechanisms end and have been incorporated into the proposed rating system. 32. Some submitters have argued for
some minor issue in regards to abstraction rates during the brief intermittent periods of low flow restrictions in the Patea River, however, no environmental effects were noted. During the year, SDC demonstrated a high level of environmental performance. However SDC demonstrated a poor level of administrative performance due to the fact, that despite repeated reminders by Council staff, renewal applications for the weirs in the Konini Stream and Patea River, and for the backwash discharge
Under the NPS-FM, water use is managed by setting environmental flows and levels, taking into account any changes that are likely to occur as a result of climate change. Limits can then be set on the rate and amount of water taken, and where and when that water can be abstracted. Monitoring of water use ensures that people comply with the relevant rules and regulations. The Council’s current Regional Freshwater Plan requires that 66% of the mean annual low flow (MALF) be retained as
longer periods rather than at high rates for short periods. The filter is backwashed once per week to a series of two soak holes. The capacity of the soak holes is more than adequate to deal with the volumes of backwash which they receive. 1.3. Resource consents SDC holds various resource consents for the water supply plants and structures that it operates, including water abstraction permits, discharge permits and land use consents. These consents are listed in Table 1 and
that these trends are decreasing. Dialog Fitzroy demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance and compliance with their resource consents as defined in Appendix II. During the period under review, Downer EDI Works Ltd was issued with an improvement required rating for their environmental performance and administrative performance and compliance with their resource consents, as defined in defined in Appendix II, relation to its Rifle Range Road site.
Predator-Free project, the ambitious region- wide campaign launched in May 2018. Monitoring data shows this intensive predator control may already be making a difference – rats and possums in urban New Plymouth are decreasing, while the trapping network in rural and urban areas is expanding rapidly. Monitoring, using rat footprint tracking and a possum bite-mark index, show catch rates have dropped; rats went from 33 per cent to 19 percent over the year, while the urban New Plymouth
“TRC SEM” samples1 analysed exceeded the 4g/m2/30 days deposition rate guideline, with only 26% of all the gauges collected in the airshed as a whole exceeding this guideline. There were two gauging locations, one in the vicinity of each of Ravensdown Fertiliser Co-operative Limited and Katere Surface Coatings Limited, where the guideline was exceeded at the time of both surveys. The highest result obtained during the year under review was one of the Downer EDI Works Limited gauges, which was

requirement of the renewed consent. Stormwater from the site continued to be diverted to containment ponds, with the stormwater batch released after quality checks. Sample results for the discharge samples collected by the Council were within those prescribed by consent conditions. Particulate deposition from air emissions was, in general, similar to the previous monitoring periods. At the monitoring site west of the plant site the lactose deposition rate was found to be 7% over the guideline
