performance and extent of compliance by
the consent holder during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating as
to the Company’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 Company’s approach to demonstrating consent
compliance in site operations and management including the timely
me in summer months when the power
station was operating that the residual flow of 180 litres/second
was too low to maintain water quality. In the hottest months of
summer fish kills have been observed in the lower river due to
high water temperatures and low oxygen levels I suspect. I
rarely fish the lower river in summer because of this. I
personally think that the residual flow for the lower river needs
to be at least double the 180 litre/second rate and probably
closer to 400 litres per

Summary
Argentine stem weevil damage to pasture results in:
� lower stocking rates
� more frequent need to resow pasture
� reduced cultivar suitability (some high-performing low
endophyte types are susceptible to ASW)
Animal health problems due to high endophyte include:
� lower weight gains
� lower milk production
� high incidence of dags and fly-strike
Biological control with the parasitoid wasp will in time
reduce ASW numbers. The expected outcome from reduced
ASW
considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the
region’s resources.

Management Programme costs around $1 million of rates
each year in recognition of the wider public benefits derived
from efforts to maintain or improve the region’s water quality.

FMU).
Although indigenous forest is the dominant land cover in the upper sections of the Southern Hill Country
and Northern Hill Country FMUs, the proportions of stream reach graded in band A appear relatively high
considering that the geology and terrain in both of these FMUs are particularly prone to high rates of
sediment erosion. It should be noted that there was limited available monitoring data to calibrate the model
in these areas, with data from neighbouring
