into the Patea River.
A 20 year timeframe provides the required certainty to
enable the upgrades to be investigated and undertaken
over time.
The proposed plant upgrades are aimed at improving the
effluent quality while remaining cost effective for the
rate payers. There is no requirement for upgrading the
plant capacity.
The timeframe of the upgrade stages are based on
economic considerations. The upgrades proposed are:

Electricity
There are two levels of connectivity for the Taranaki
electricity network:
The high voltage national electrical transmission
system that covers both North and South Islands.
This system connects generation sources to local
substations and is operated by Transpower. The
Taranaki region connects at Stratford to the
National Grid through 220 kV circuits that run north
to Huntly and south-east to

Bowl of Brooklands events 2020-2021
The diversion rates at the bowl events continue to meet our waste minimisation requirements
and often go above and beyond successfully diverting high amounts of waste from landfill.
The main challenge with zero events is the ability to attract volunteers or community groups
to assist at waste stations during the event to ensure contamination within each bin is kept
to a minimum. The volunteers are key to achieving high
performance 49

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 the Man-Kendall test. Further justification for this statistical approach can be
found in Stark and Fowles (2006).

18. Research has demonstrated a correlation between short-term episodes of exposure to
particulate matter and increased adverse medical outcomes for heart, respiratory and
circulatory conditions (e.g. asthma, emphysema, heart attack and stroke). Longer-term
exposure to increased concentrations correlates with increased cancer rates, premature
death rates and chronic respiratory

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 the
period under review. The rating categories are high,
