1.1.4
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 consent
compliance

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
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
requirement of the renewed
consent.
Stormwater from the site continued to be diverted to containment ponds, with the stormwater batch released
after quality checks. Sample results for the discharge samples collected by the Council were within those
prescribed by consent conditions.
Particulate deposition from air emissions was, in general, similar to the previous monitoring periods. At the
monitoring site west of the plant site the lactose deposition rate was found to be 7% over the guideline
from the
Stratford WTP’s backwash pond.
During the monitoring period SDC complied with all abstraction and discharge limits, and all abstraction
data was provided in timely manner. Toko water supply still has minor issues in regards to how abstraction
rates were measured, however a compliance plan was put in place to rectify this.
During the year, the SDC demonstrated a good level of environmental performance and a good level of
administrative performance.
For reference, in the
bank of the river.
This work is programmed for next summer.
3Work has started on the SH Normanby project.

Regional rates outlook stable
The Taranaki Regional Council has signalled
essentially no change in rates next year
despite plans to expand some programmes.
The Council’s draft budget for 2015/2016
envisages an overall decrease of $34,594, or
a little over a
Rate
(FDR) analysis.
The results for the SEM nuisance periphyton programme during the 2016-2017 monitoring year showed
that on one occasion at one site there was a breach of the thick mat guideline and on five occasions across
four separate sites there was a breach of the long filaments guideline, out of a total of 64 site surveys. Ten
sites could not be surveyed in spring 2016 due to high water levels. For the 2017-2018 monitoring year
there were two occasions where there
