EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During the period July 2016 to June 2017, 223 earthquakes were located in the Taranaki region
by GeoNet. This is similar to the annual numbers since 1994, and accounts for about 1% of
the total number of earthquakes located in New Zealand in that period. Similar to the long-term
trend, shallow earthquakes (less than 50 km deep) occurred west and north of Mt Taranaki, or
north-east of Stratford; earthquakes
monitoring that has been undertaken and
the environmental effects as identified by that monitoring.
Annual TRC monitoring reports are available that generally included monthly inspections and that
included river residual flow gauging.
The last fish survey was completed in 2014 and temperature and streambed community monitoring
has been postponed due to very high sedimentation loading makes it impractical.
15Minute logs of various measurements are taken and provided to the TRC
existing inland and coastal wetlands
protect urban and rural streams from in-filling
ensure connectivity of fish habitat (fish passage)
set minimum requirements for feedlots and other stockholding areas
improve poor practice intensive winter grazing of forage crops
restrict further agricultural intensification until the end of 2024

Resolved
THAT the
wider regional community is a beneficiary and that Council support
is appropriate to maximise the effectiveness of individual control across the region. The
regional community is able to assess the cost and benefits and effectiveness of the
programme through the annual planning and reporting processes under the Local
Government Act 2002 and through the review of future pest management plans

Executive summary
This report provides an assessment of
conditions to exclude all petrochemical wastes (solid drilling
cuttings, water and synthetic based drilling muds, produced water, fracking fluid flowback, well
workover fluids, etc.) from the raw materials that are acceptable onsite.
5. If the consents are granted without the exclusion of petrochemical wastes, we seek that the consents
be granted for a duration of no more than 10 years, not the requested 18 years.
6. Based on the annual monitoring reports of the site since 2012-13
