and that of consent holders to resource management and, ultimately, through the refinement of methods
and considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the
region’s resources.

measurement of flow rate and temperature.
Silver Fern Farms Ltd (meat processing plant) demonstrated an overall high level of
environmental performance.
The Company holds six resource consents, to allow it to maintain a dam in and to take from
the Tawhiti Stream; to discharge to the stream and to land; and to discharge emissions into
the air. Three of the consents were replaced in March 2013.
During the period under review, two

A questionnaire was developed to elicit people’s involvement with reducing rat numbers,
and their involvement with, and attitude towards trapping rats. Involvement was measured
using a condensed version of the Laurent and Kapferer (1985) involvement scale
developed by Kaine (2019) with respondents rating two statements on
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

Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by
the consent holder/s during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating

Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the
Environmental
and structures (natural and man-made) that fish are able to negotiate over (both up and downstream).
The diversion of water for abstraction poses another impediment to fish migration if there is no safe
passage back to the river.
Water diverted for hydro generation is potentially damaging for fish and lethal in some cases. Fish
passing through turbines are subjected to pressure changes, cavitation and shear damage, and
mechanical strike. The survival rate during turbine passage is
