has been increasing at a very slow rate since monitoring began
(0.02±0.01 units per year). Initial monitoring showed the lake was in a mesotrophic state, and has over time
moved to a mildly eutrophic state. Previous analysis has determined that the trophic level is heavily
influenced by high turbidity values and therefore not a true indication of actual trophic status (as
determined by primary production) of the lake (Burns 2006).

decline.
The most notable change in livestock numbers in Taranaki
has been the significant long-term reduction in beef cattle
and sheep. As of 2019, there were 28% fewer cattle (-49,244)
and 68% fewer sheep (-933,407) in Taranaki compared to
1990. Since 2014, these numbers have continued to decline,
although at a reduced rate of -4% and -12%, respectively.

the past decade. Changes
in river water temperature are more subtle, while air and
soil temperatures have risen sharply, with soil temperature
increasing at a rate of around 1.4°C per decade. Changes
over 10 to 15 year periods are affected by long-term climate
trends as well as changes due to shorter climatic cycles,
such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. An assessment
of cold temperature trends for air, soil and river water
suggests that in coming years we can
privilege to be your Regional
Councillor for the last six years and also Chair of
the Policy and Planning Committee.
If re-elected, I'll continue to advocate for our rivers being clean
for swimming and our natural habitat thriving; ensuring we
protect and grow our region.
I'll also focus on public transport, prudent rates and resource
management.
I bring a range of experience.

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 compliance is concerned with the Company’s approach
to demonstrating consent compliance in site operations
maintained on the stream for the continuous measurement of flow rate and temperature.
Silver Fern Farms Ltd (meat processing plant) demonstrated an overall poor level of environmental
performance.
Silver Fern Farms Ltd holds six resource consents, to allow it to maintain a dam in and to take water from
the Tawhiti Stream; to discharge to the stream and to land; and to discharge emissions into the air.
During the period under review, there was one incident reported in relation to the …
and that of consent holders to resource 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.
