After a few months away, it’s great to be
back on board and in full swing working
with schools around Taranaki. This last term
I’ve worked with a number of schools on
topics involving invertebrates, both in
streams and on land. These spineless
creatures make the ideal topic for
investigation as they are everywhere. They
are relatively easy to survey using some
packaging facility located at Paritutu Road, New Plymouth, in the Herekawe catchment. DAS
holds resource consents to allow it to discharge stormwater into the Herekawe Stream, and to
discharge emissions into the air. This report for the period July 2015 to June 2016 describes the
monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess
DAS’s environmental performance during the period under review. The report also details the
results of the monitoring undertaken and
undertakes compliance monitoring for
consents and rules in regional plans; and maintains an overview of performance of
resource users against regional plans and consents. Compliance monitoring,
(covering both activity and impact monitoring) also enables the Council to
continuously assess its own performance in resource management as well as that of
resource users particularly consent holders. It further enables the Council to
continually re-evaluate its approach and that of consent holders to
