compliance was achieved. A further 27 (3%) of consents monitored required improvement in their performance, while the remaining one (< 1%) achieved a rating of poor. In terms of overall environmental and compliance performance by the consent holder, this report shows that the consent holder’s performance remains at a level that requires improvement. This report includes recommendations for the 2023-2024 year. page page i Table of contents
For reference, in the 2022-2023 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental performance and compliance for 878 (87%) of a total of 1007 consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored monitoring programmes, while for another 96 (10%) of the consents a good level of environmental performance and compliance was achieved. A further 27 (3%) of consents monitored required improvement in their performance, while the remaining one (<1%) achieved a rating of poor.
2012/13 and 2015/16. At a regional level, initiatives implemented to date in the waste plans have had an effect in reducing the amount of waste disposed per person compared to the baseline data 2012/13 and 2015/16. However, within each district, an increase in waste disposed per person occurred over the last four years in South Taranaki whereas Stratford and New Plymouth disposal rates continued to reduce in 2022/2023. Figure 1 shows there has been a 1% increase in total tonnage disposed to
where the quality of regional groundwater is of concern environmentally or from a drinking water standard perspective. State and temporal trend analysis of groundwater chemistry in four sites (GND0563, GND0827, GND0829 and GND2213) indicate that concentrations of select variables are changing at rates that are considered environmentally meaningful. Changes in overall hydrochemistry at GND0563 indicated the state of groundwater in this bore is no longer suitable for potable supply. Given that

demonstrated good compliance with rise and recession rate restrictions for the lower Pātea River. The Company provided adequate residual flows within the Pātea River at all times. The Company continues to have issues with the timely provision of reports required by consents, likely in part due to the complex and significant monitoring and reporting requirements. However, with ongoing liaison by the Council during the year under review there was an improvement by the Company and all draft reports

consents for discharges from mobile abrasive blasting around the region. All of the consents include a set of conditions which impose ‘bottom-line’ requirements that minimise adverse environmental effects from the discharges. Through the monitoring programme the Council assess compliance with these conditions. During the monitoring year the Council conducted two deposition gauge surveys to quantify the rate of dust deposition beyond the site boundaries to determine if the dust caused
stream gaugings. The monitoring indicated that the operation of the sluicing of the weir has improved, with flows not falling below 151 L/s. There was one unauthorised incident recording non-compliance in respect to the water take consent between 30 July and 5 August 2022. Due to a lightning strike which destroyed the scheme’s electronics, OWSL were required to take water in manual operation mode, which resulted in a breach of abstraction rate until OWSL could fine-tune the process. The
majority of takes being well managed and operating within relevant consent conditions during the 2022-2023 period. The Council was required to enter three incidents in relation to irrigation consents over this period, with all non-compliances deemed sufficiently minor not to warrant further action from Council. The overall rate of non-compliance across all exercised consents was 7%, which was the same as that seen during the 2021-2022 period. During the 2022-2023 year, 93% of exercised
