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
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

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.

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
held.
The monitoring indicated the following:
The discharge of cooling water recorded an increasing ammonia concentration throughout the monitoring
period, though the impact to the Inaha stream was minimal. The thermal effect of the plant discharges were
within the thermal limits for the duration of the monitoring year. The abstraction of surface water and
groundwater was undertaken within compliance standards for the duration of the year. The dilution rate for
the surface water

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

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
