recognition system. CCCWSL continue to subsidise the purchase of 30,000 L tanks for on farm storage to
provide contingencies in an event of a water shortage.
Environmental effects of exercise of consents
No effects as a result of the abstraction or discharges were noted during the annual inspection. However, it
was noted that a slight waterfall had formed at the end of the fish pass. The consent holder has been
advised and remediation is occurring in the 2023-2024 monitoring period.

fish. The main nutrients in Taranaki waterways are inorganic forms of nitrogen (N) and
phosphorus (P). Only small amounts of each are required in a natural ecosystem; too much can cause
excessive algae and plant growth. This may lead to adverse effects on dissolved oxygen and pH levels,
water clarity and biodiversity.
Nitrogen can be present in water in a number of forms (nitrate, nitrite, ammoniacal nitrogen and organic
nitrogen). In rivers and lakes, too much nitrogen can lead
of forming a joint committee to ascertain priorities for road maintenance and
construction projects on SH3 and a focus on the northern section of the route. The New
Plymouth District Council, Western Central Road Transport Association and Transit New
Zealand were subsequently requested to join the Working Party.
The first meeting of the Working Party was held on 26 August 2002.
Meetings of the SH3 Working Party
Since the inaugural meeting on 26 August 2002, the SH3
Zealand Ltd (Methanex).
This Company was formed on the first of January 2015, when the two previously separate Methanex
companies (Methanex Motunui Ltd and Methanex New Zealand Ltd) were amalgamated.
Methanex operates a methanol production facility located on the coast at Motunui, close to Waitara (the
Motunui site), and a second facility located 2.5 km south east and upstream of the mouth of the Waitara
River (the Waitara Valley site). The Motunui site is located across the Manu and Waihi

• Operations and Regulatory Committee
• Policy and Planning Committee
• Executive, Audit and Risk Committee
• Regional Transport Committee.
• Chief Executive Liaison Committee
c) noted that it will need to form a Waitara River Committee and Waitara River sub-
committee once it has reached an agreement with the Waitara River Authorities
'As', to denote the amount of
metal recoverable in acidic conditions. This is taken as indicating the total amount of
metal that might be solubilised under extreme environmental conditions. The
abbreviation may alternatively be followed by the letter 'D', denoting the amount of
the metal present in dissolved form rather than in particulate or solid form.

Total nitrogen
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant and algal growth, however elevated levels contribute to excessive
growth and can cause negative ecological effects. Total nitrogen is the sum of all forms of nitrogen.
