rainfall for the Waitara catchment is expected to be about 2,200
mm. A catchment-wide mean annual rainfall of about 3,200 mm is estimated for the Manganui River
based on the recorded mean flow at Everett Park (19.5 m3/s).
In a normal year, significant rainfall occurs in every month of the year, with the three months from
January to March receiving roughly 30% less rainfall than other months on average. This lower
rainfall period coupled with the higher temperatures and evapo-transpiration rates in
resources.
1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the Company, this
report also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period
under review.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment from the
activities during the monitoring year. Administrative performance is concerned with the
physicochemical analysis, two bio-monitoring surveys of
receiving waters, and two ambient air quality analyses.
The monitoring showed that site was managed in a proactive and acceptable manner; this was
detailed by the Council’s Inspectorate Officer. Bio-monitoring of the Kapuni Stream also
indicated the stream had little or no measurable adverse effects as a result of the discharges of
storm water from the Site, with the health of the stream rated as ‘good’ to ‘better than
expected’. The

are Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi, Ngāruahine, Ngāti Maru (Te Iwi o Maruwharanui), Ngāti
Mutunga, Ngāti Ruanui, Ngāti Tama, Taranaki Iwi, and Te Atiawa.
In June 2020, Taranaki’s unemployment rate was at 4.3% with only small variations from one district to
another (compared to 4% nationally).
Households without access to a motor vehicle is highest in New Plymouth district (7.2% of

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by Contact Energy, this
report also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period
under review.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment
rating as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance during
the period under review. The rating categories are high, good, improvement required and poor for both
environmental and administrative performance. The interpretations for these ratings are found in
Appendix II.
For reference, in the 2021-2022 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 88% of the consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored
comprising 18% of the district’s population. Iwi and hapū of the Taranaki region
are Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi, Ngāruahine, Ngāti Maru (Te Iwi o Maruwharanui), Ngāti
Mutunga, Ngāti Ruanui, Ngāti Tama, Taranaki Iwi, and Te Atiawa.

Households without access to a motor vehicle is highest in New Plymouth district (7.2% of
insufficient flow in the
Manganui River. Human error resulted in insufficient flow being released to the Manganui
River, and as a result an infringement notice was issued. Although the performance rating for
the relevant consent is ‘improvement required’ this improvement has already occurred with
improved communications and understanding of the staff and contractor involved.
This is a reflection of the consent holder’s improved systems, and thorough monitoring of a
highly complex scheme.
