The samples were analysed for chloride, conductivity, hydrocarbons,

consent performance 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 as to each 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

rodents and possums in urban areas where there is co-ordinated pest control. Monitored bush reserves in New Plymouth with regular rodent control recently achieved a monitoring rate of less than 10% (rodent tracking rate). Although there is still work to do, this is considerably lower than the 40-50% regularly recorded in small rural bush remnants (<50ha), or the over 75% recorded in large areas of contiguous bush (>300ha) without effective rat control. Rat abundance in
development. This also causes the riverbed to change periodically, and at times changes to the streambed have prevented sampling due to alterations to the channel shape and water depth limiting the wadeable area where sampling is possible. This is a separate issue to high flows preventing sampling. Furthermore, the channel instability in this river prevents maintenance of a rating curve. Flow data is consequently unavailable, limiting any future analysis of drivers of periphyton growth at this site.
undertaking successful enforcement action. Commentary/Highlights Consent holders are assessed each year on their environmental performance and on consent compliance. The performance is publicly reported. Overall ratings for consent holders in the 2018/2019 year were found to be 83% ‘high’ and 13% ‘good’. Reporting of the 2017/2018 programmes was completed, with the final suite of annual reports presented to Council in April 2019. Ninety-seven annual reports together with four
Placement: The culvert must be open-bottomed or its invert must be placed so that at least 25% of the culvert’s diameter is below the level of the bed. The bed substrate must be present over the full length of the culvert and stable at the flow rate at or below which the water flows for 80% of the time. Geomorphic process: The culvert must provide for the continuity of movement of sediment and debris. Fresh Water Plan for Taranaki conditions cross
