the sedimentary rock is softer than that of the
laharic material of the ring plain coast. High
erosion rates combined with areas of soft
sediment have resulted in a highly irregular
coastline with numerous small embayments.
Erosion also results in the formation of coastal
stacks, small islands, caves and arches (for
example around Tongaporutu, Onaero and
Waverley). Small sedimentary reefs exist
within some intertidal areas although these are
not overly obvious.

the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by
the Company, this report also assigns them a rating for their 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 and management

Condition 4 relates to best practicable option.
Conditions 5 to 10 relate to water metering and provision of records.
Condition 11 addresses intake screening for fish protection.

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by
the consent holders 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
responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable
development of the region’s resources.

Mann-Kendall test.
The sign (+/-) of the Kendall tau value was used to assess whether the trend was
positive or negative and the significance of the trend was determined using the p value
(p < 0.05 = significant).
When multiple correlations are undertaken, there is a chance that some will be found
to be significant purely by chance. In order to deal with this potential problem, the
Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) method was applied to the results of

increased in recent years, resulting in the Company having to remove greater volumes when dredging.
There were no unauthorised incidents recording non-compliance in respect of this Company’s maintenance
dredging campaign during the period under review.
During the year, the Company demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative …
