1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance 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. Administrative performance is concerned with the
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 CCCWSL, 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
of the consents monitored through the Taranaki
tailored monitoring programmes, while for another 10% of the consents, a good level of environmental
performance and compliance was achieved.

In terms of overall environmental and compliance performance by the consent holder over the last several
years, this report shows that the consent holder’s performance decreased from high to good (based on
consent ratings related to the compliance issues). However, NPDC’s

New Zealand local authority expenditure as a proportion of total public expenditure is
significantly less than many other similar sized countries. On the other hand, central
government taxes and charges on people and businesses are much greater than local
government rates and charges.

consents to discharge effluent and solids to land, two consents for structures in watercourses, and one
consent to discharge emissions into the air at the plant site.
Monitoring is carried out by both the Company and the Council. The Company monitors water abstraction
rate, effluent flow rate and composition, receiving water quality, odour at the plant boundaries, effluent
loadings and soil and herbage for irrigation areas. The Council undertakes inspections of the plant site and
viable.
To assess where irrigation may be viable modelling of irrigation demand was carried
out. Only land with a slope less than 15 degrees and that is currently classified as
‘productive farmland’ was considered. Weather and soil water holding data was then
analysed and parameters around irrigation application rates and reliability of supply
were applied.
For the cost benefits of irrigation to be determined the pasture yield response to
irrigation was assessed using the AusFarm
