don’t panic! If officers suspect possums are
greater than a 10% catch rate (or 10 possums caught in
100 traps) you may be issued with a Notice of Direction.
This is a formal legal document that may seem a bit scary
but essentially it’s a formal reminder that you need to
undertake control by a set date. We then re-check to
make sure numbers have reduced. If they haven’t you
will have failed to comply and further action can be
taken.

Most often this was due to the entries being made while the observation

the amount or rate of ground deformation may signal the start of a new eruptive episode.
There are numerous ways to measure such deformation, like precise levelling, tilt
measurement and position triangulation. Continuous Global Positioning System (CGPS)
measurements provide time-series, high precision data for deformation monitoring. Satellite-
based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is a relatively new technique for

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

the consent holder during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating as
to the cxonsent holder’s environmental and administrative performance.
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 consent holder’s approach to demonstrating
consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely

falling within the “Alert” or “Action”
categories was almost half that of the previous season. Of note, very few high counts were
recorded during the 2010-2011 season. Fewer exceedances of MfE guidelines (‘Alert’ and
‘Action’) modes were coincidental with drier early season conditions and a reduction in
dairy shed pond systems treated wastes discharge rates noted from field inspections during
that time.
One site (Waimoku Stream at Oakura beach) continued to record all of its single samples in

The programmes undertaken are extremely
wide-ranging and include national bird counts,
water quality measurement, pest free
programmes, wetland restoration, intertidal
diversity studies and lizard monitoring. I
expect schools to hear more about and have
greater involvement with citizen science in the
