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

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

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

In August 2019, Taranaki launched a co-designed Roadmap for how the region will transition to a
low-emissions economy by 2050. A collaborative process has

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.
