be determined if the results originated from the activities at the consent holder’s site or from the neighbouring properties. The guideline reflects a deposition rate that may cause complaints in a residential area. In the 2016-2017 year there were no unauthorised incidents related to discharges from any consent holders in the Lower Waiwhakaiho area. During the year, Downer EDI Works Ltd demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance with their resource
exceeded six of the 12 samples collected, while Downer EDI exceeded one sample from 10. The highest result during the year under review was obtained by one of the Fitzroy Engineering Group Ltd gauges, which was more than twice the guideline rate. The guideline reflects a deposition rate that may cause complaints in a residential area. In the 2015-2016 year there were no unauthorised incidents related to discharges from any consent holders in the Lower Waiwhakaiho area. During the year,

productivity, continued to be within the category of mesotrophic to possibly mildly eutrophic (mildly nutrient enriched). However, taking into account the influence of suspended sediment in this reservoir, and the moderately low chlorophyll levels, the classification is more appropriately mesotrophic. Previous trending of these water quality data over time found a very slow rate of increase in trophic level. Updated trend analysis, for the period 1990-2018, reconfirmed the rate of increase in trophic
utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the region’s resources. 1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holder during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating as to the Company’s environmental and administrative performance. Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment

periphyton for all sites and by testing the significance of any trend using the Mann-Kendall test at the 5% level, followed by Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) analysis. Of the trends, ten were significant at the 5% level. Two remained significant after FDR application. page Most upstream sites, except for those in the Waiwhakaiho and Waiongana Streams, generally contained a low periphyton biomass throughout the year. Almost all downstream sites, except the Stony River and

extent of compliance by the Company, this report also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period under review. Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment from the activities during the monitoring year.
