of receiving waters. In addition,
monthly emission results and abstraction records were provided to the Council which were reviewed.
The monitoring showed that the Stratford Power Station continued to be well managed with negligible
environmental effects as a process of the exercise of their consents.
Surface water abstraction was compliant with daily rate and volume. Process water discharges were
compliant with consent defined parameters. Surface water monitoring indicated negligible
generally consistent. Ongoing natural character
effects will vary between Neutral and Moderate adverse across the various river reaches depending on the
presence of structures, the resultant modified flow rates and associated ecological conditions. Within Lake
Mangamahoe the ongoing natural character effects are considered to be Low beneficial due to the water and
lake margin vegetation creating a valued ecological habitat that offsets the man-made nature of the lakebed,
presence of structures and

additional 101 FTEs.
The total GDP impact in Taranaki was $21.2 million, while total employment supported was 216 FTEs.
Lastly, the GDP to output rate of the total expenditure in the region was 63.82 percent.

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.

Company plans to make further upgrades to the stormwater system with the goal of further improving
discharge quality. Water take and discharge rates are now being telemetered to the Council, but a review of
the placement of the flowmeters is still required. The groundwater monitoring bores have been installed
and monitoring will begin in the forthcoming year.
For reference, in the 2020-2021 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of

For reference, in the 2020-2021 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of
levels. This had been addressed through extension of the irrigation disposal
system in 2007-2008, and by more intensive wastewater and groundwater monitoring. During the year
under review, there was a higher nitrogen load applied to the paddocks than in the 2017-2020 years. The
nitrogen application rates increased by about 14% on Farm 1 and 20% on Farms 2 and 3 in the 2019-2020
year, with further increases of 10% on Farm 1, 4% on Farm 2, and 18% on Farm 3 during the year under
review. On Farm 3,
