rating as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance during
the period under review. The rating categories are high, good, improvement required and poor for both
environmental and administrative performance. The interpretations for these ratings are found in
appendix II.
For reference, in the 2021-2022 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 88% of the consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored
management and, ultimately, through the refinement of methods
and considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the
region’s resources.

Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holders,
this report also assigns a rating as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance during

To monitor the exercising of consent 7470-1.2, abstraction volume and rate data are recorded electronically
and transferred to the Council via telemetry, so the data can be viewed in near real time.
Two groundwater monitoring bores are monitored to assess the potential effects of the abstraction on local
groundwater levels. Groundwater levels are monitored electronically by pressure transducers, programmed
to record measurements at 30 minute intervals.
