a rating curve was maintained
for measurement of flow in the stream.
The abstraction of water from the Inaha Stream was not found to have any adverse effect on
the stream.
The discharge of cooling water to the Inaha Stream was not found to have any adverse effect
on the stream. There was exceedance of the limit on receiving water temperature increase on
25 days, during low flows between February and April. An abatement notice was issued to
undertake works to remedy this, before the
monitoring, enables the Council to continually re-evaluate its approach
and that of consent holders to resource management and, ultimately, through the refinement of methods
and considered responsible resource 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 STDC, this report also
assigns them a rating for
for the continuous measurement of flow
rate and temperature.
Silver Fern Farms Ltd (meat processing plant) demonstrated an overall high level of
environmental performance.
The Company holds six resource consents, to allow it to maintain a dam in and to take from
the Tawhiti Stream; to discharge to the stream and to land; and to discharge emissions into
the air.
During the period under review, one incident was registered against the site, in relation to
flooding behind the dam
discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holders,
this report also assigns a 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

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

from the physicochemical parameters analysed during the mid-summer survey conducted in February 2019,
when a moderately high discharge rate of well-treated wastewater characterised this system. No impacts of
the effluent discharge were indicated by MCI scores through the reach of the river surveyed.
During the year, STDC demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance with the
resource consents held in relation to the Manaia WWTP. The Manaia WWTP was

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).
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
