Park, New Plymouth for recreation, sporting and cultural activities to the
advantage of all citizens of the Taranaki region.
The stadium’s initial regional funding of $9.6 million was covered by a
combination of uniform charges across the region and targeted rates
in New Plymouth and North Taranaki. This arrangement ran from July
2001 to June 2012. In 2002 a major redevelopment saw two new
grandstands added, the TSB Stand overlooking the main field’s eastern
sideline and the Noel and
air traffic control and navigational aids, refuelling services and significant areas of land
and buildings to serve commercial tenants. All of these facilities are situated on land at the Airport
designated within the District Plan.
Average annual passenger growth rate is anticipated to be 5% per annum and in the period from 2018 to
2038 air passenger volume through New Plymouth is expected to grow from 430,000 to 1,200,0001. A new
terminal building is currently under
Lake Rotorangi is determined each year, through four water quality monitoring
surveys and through phytoplankton surveys (conducted simultaneously with the water
quality surveys). A previous benthic invertebrate survey and a three-yearly macrophyte
(aquatic weeds) survey conducted in autumn 2015 are also reported, for completeness.
Based on these surveys and studies, the lake’s condition continues to be classified as
mesotrophic, with a very slow and insignificant rate of increase in trophic
consent to discharge emissions into the air at the plant
site. The consent to emit to air was replaced in May 2016.
During the monitoring period, ANZCO demonstrated a generally good level of
environmental performance.
Monitoring is carried out by both ANZCO and the Council. ANZCO monitors water
abstraction rate, effluent flow rate and composition, receiving water quality, odour at the plant
boundaries, and effluent loadings, soil, and herbage for irrigation areas. The Council

crown height of 5-6 metres should be left.
Current silviculture regimes aim to produce high
strength timber over a 45 year rotation using initial
stocking rates of 1500-1600stems per hectare (sph).
administrational performance has been rated as Good, as although the
performance against most consent conditions with respect to the administrative compliance was high,
issues around testing of the integrity of the water take pipeline and meeting the requirements of the
Resource Management (Measurement and Reporting of Water Takes) Regulations 2010 are yet to be resolved.
Methanex have been open and participative in their communication with regard to their progress on these
issues.

3 Methods
A questionnaire was developed to elicit people’s involvement with reducing rat numbers,
and their involvement with, and attitude towards trapping rats. Involvement was measured
using a condensed version of the Laurent and Kapferer (1985) involvement scale
developed by Kaine (2019) with respondents rating two statements on
review can be summarised by the following main points:
Surface soils across the site are dominated by semi-porous silty clay-loams, overlying more
impervious clay soils
Soils below 2000 mm have not been characterised
Chloride concentrations in the soil beneath the irrigation zone are highly elevated compared
to non-irrigated areas
The shallow groundwater table is in direct connection with semi-porous loamy silty-clay
Due to high rates of irrigation loading, shallow
rating as to each Company’s 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 …
to the Council on a monthly basis. The
raw water abstraction rate from the Waitara River for the Motunui plant was
measured continuously and the plant effluent was monitored for a number of
parameters with frequencies ranging from continuously (flow and pH) to monthly
(trace metals). Abstraction of raw water from the Waitara River and effluent
discharges at the Waitara Valley plant occurred sporadically during the monitoring
period, and records were provided when this occurred. Monthly
