Environmental and structures (natural and man-made) that fish are able to negotiate over (both up and downstream). The diversion of water for abstraction poses another impediment to fish migration if there is no safe passage back to the river. Water diverted for hydro generation is potentially damaging for fish and lethal in some cases. Fish passing through turbines are subjected to pressure changes, cavitation and shear damage, and mechanical strike. The survival rate during turbine passage is
guideline rate. However it could not 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 2017-2018 year there were no confirmed unauthorised incidents related to discharges from any of the air discharge consent holders in the Lower Waiwhakaiho area. During the year, Downer EDI Works Ltd demonstrated a high level of
Company notified the Council that a damaged irrigation line had been discovered and that there was the potential that the resource consent conditions could be breached. The damaged line was repaired without any discharges to surface water occurring. Particulate deposition from air emissions was, in general, similar to the previous monitoring periods. At the monitoring site east of the taker bay the lactose deposition rate was found to be almost four times the guideline value and was the
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

A collaborative process has
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. Administrative performance is concerned with the Company’s approach to demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely provision of information to Council (such as contingency plans and water take data) in accordance
by past extraction from some rivers in the region, which was occurring at a rate greater than the natural rate of supply. It has been ten years since the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) adopted the Freshwater Plan. The Freshwater Plan contains a suite of policies, objectives, and methods associated with riverbed gravel extraction. In 2011 the Council undertook a preliminary analysis of river aggradation1 in Taranaki. The report entitled Aggradation in rivers and streams
right should be granted and no general authorisation made in respect of the Hangatahua (Stony) River catchment where the effect of doing so would be that the provisions of the Notice could not remain in force without change or variation. The fourth provision of the Notice stated that the quantity and rate of flow in the Hangatahua (Stony) River and its tributaries, and the quantity and level of natural water in the ponds and tarns that form part of the protected waters, were to be retained in
