‘high’. During the year under review there were two incidents associated with the Whareroa
site (one regarding an exceedance of stormwater BOD resulting in the issuing of an
abatement notice, and one due to excessive dust during construction).
Water abstraction from the Tawhiti Stream and from the Tangahoe River were in accordance
with consent conditions.
The volume of wastewater discharged from the site complied with conditions
However, taking into
account the influence of suspended sediment in this reservoir, and the moderately low
chlorophyll levels, the classification is more appropriately mesotrophic. Previous trending of
these water quality data over time found a very slow rate of increase in trophic level. An
update of the trend report (for the period 1990-2015) has confirmed this very slow,
insignificant rate of increase in trophic level. This also confirmed that the lake would be
classified as mesotrophic in

the period under review. The rating categories are high, good, improvement required and poor for both
environmental and administrative performance. The interpretations for these ratings are found in
Appendix II.
For reference, in the 2021-2022 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 88% of the consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored

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 MASL’s approach to
demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the
ultimately, through the refinement of methods and
considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable
development of the region’s resources.

Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving

Council contractors undertake
initial control operations to reduce possum numbers to at least
a 5% catch rate (for 100 traps, only five possums are caught).
Land occupiers are then required to keep the catch rate below
10%. The Council’s Environment Officers monitor and facilitate
the maintenance work and if necessary the Council will enforce
the requirement.

the IRIS software suite is 10 years and 10%.
Where software in this category is replaced, upgraded or determined by RSHL to be of no further operational benefit, a change in
value will be recognised through the Statement of Financial Performance. This change in value will be the difference between
the carrying value of the original item and its fair value.

Typically, the composting process occurs in two phases. The first “composting” phase
is signified by high temperatures and rapid decomposition. Generally, time-
temperature requirements are met within the first month or so in order to destroy
pathogens. Composting is generally completed within six weeks.
46. The second “curing” phase is signified by lower temperatures and a slower rate of
decomposition. Curing creates ‘mature’ compost that can be applied to soils without
causing adverse
