Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving
environment from the activities during the monitoring period. Administrative
performance is concerned with the Company’s approach to demonstrating consent
compliance in site operations and management including the timely provision of
information to Council (such as contingency plans and water take data) in accordance
with consent conditions.

Appendix A: Soil Water Balance Model
The Conceptual Soil Moisture Model is based on the
consumptive purposes (ie non-compliance with consent
conditions and Freshwater Plan rules), or should a massive discharge of produced
water occur into a surface catchment used for consumptive purposes, the low alpha
activity present in produced waters in Taranaki, the likely short duration of any such
event before detection, and the significant immediate dilution afforded in such
circumstances, render the degree of risk negligible in the opinion of Council staff.
2.6 Concerns that have
to be limited. In planning for and managing water resources within the
region, it is important to better understand current and future irrigation demand to enable
more informed decisions on resource allocations.
The following sections present an outline of the project including objectives, study area,
methods and information and data sources. The findings are presented in a series of related
sections; (i) assessment of irrigation demand and subregional irrigation zones, (ii) review of

at 57 sites in 25 rivers and streams. The Hangatahua (Stony)
River was selected as a river with high conservation value and the Maketawa Stream was
identified in the Regional Freshwater Plan for its regionally important recreational value.
The Waitara, Manganui, Patea, Waiwhakaiho and the Mangaehu Rivers were chosen as
examples of waterways with large catchments and multiple human impacts. The
Waingongoro River was included in the programme as a river under intensive usage with
more recent
2012-2013 monitoring year. Biological surveys were performed in
spring (October 2012 through to November 2012) and summer (February to early March
2013), during a late summer low flow period. Each seasonal survey assessed the
macroinvertebrate communities at 57 sites in 25 rivers and streams. The Hangatahua (Stony)
River was selected as a river with high conservation value and the Maketawa Stream was
identified in the Regional Freshwater Plan for its regionally important recreational value.

monitoring of the region’s proposed Freshwater Management Units (as required by the
National Policy Statement on Fresh Water).
