based (SBM) drilling wastes were tested. That study is reported herein.
The key findings are:-
-high levels of salt and hydrocarbons in conjunction, or high levels of salt would cause
toxicity to earthworms;
-initial loading rates of hydrocarbons stimulate microbial action, as shown by increase in
biomass and soil respiration rates (the hydrocarbons are utilised as an energy source);
-marked reductions occurred in hydrocarbon concentrations (i.e. natural processes of
microbial degradation

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

Taranaki during the
year involving a lessee and a stevedoring company. One of which involved a minor hydraulic oil spill, and
the other involved a minor molasses spill. Neither incident resulted in adverse environmental effects nor
further enforcement action.
During the year, Downer, Technix, Liquigas and Methanex obtained a high rating for environmental and
high rating for administrative performance and compliance with the resource consents. Port Taranaki’s

Langford will speak to the request at the next RTC meeting.
With FAR rates set to reduce to baseline figures from next financial year the
pressure is on to have these projects committed this year while the FAR rate is still
100%.
RTAG agreed to support the variation and progress to RTC for approval.

Accordingly, measures that might assist to reduce
odour effects include that wastewater land irrigation of
aerobic pond effluent on any day between the last
Sunday in September and the first Sunday in April
should be undertaken prior to 2.00 pm (daylight

anaerobic pond is spread or sprayed onto land, it
should be undertaken before 12 noon. As far as

relatively quickly, fine and ultrafine particles can remain suspended in the air for
extended periods of time. Short term episodes of exposure to PM pollution has been shown to correlate
with increased adverse medical outcomes for heart, respiratory and circulation conditions (eg asthma,
emphysema, heart attack, strokes); over the longer term, increased concentrations correlate with increased
cancer rates and premature death rates as well as chronic effects of the sorts outlined above. Evidence has …

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 Company’s
approach to demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely
provision of information to
continually re-evaluate its approach
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.
