environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by
the consent holder/s during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating
as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance.
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
around the weir, one on the left abutment, and one on the right. The required minimum
compensatory flow is 400L/s.

The current maximum consented take from the Manganui River into the race is 5.2m3/s. The
rate at which flow is abstracted from the river is controlled by two vertical gates at the intake
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 the Company, this
report also assigns a rating as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance during
discharge emissions into the air at the plant
site.
During the monitoring period, Riverlands demonstrated an overall high level of
environmental performance.
Monitoring is carried out by both Riverlands and the Council. Riverlands 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
undertakes inspections of the plant site and irrigation areas;

near what are being experienced in other faster growing regions. So the environment is not under
population-induced pressure.
Like any report card there are positives and negatives. The main conclusions of the report are summarised

Any decision the Council makes regarding the redevelopment of the Stadium has an
continuous measurement of flow rate and temperature.
