compliance by OMV, 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 OMV’s approach to
demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely provision of
information to Council (such as contingency
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.

1.1.5. Evaluation of 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
no person may take, use, dam or divert any
water, unless the activity is expressly allowed for by resource consent or a rule in a
regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49
of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as the rate and daily volume of
the groundwater abstraction may have exceeded that of the permitted activity (Rule
48). Rule 49 provides for
composition of the produced fluid slowly changing
from that of primarily fracturing fluid to primarily in situ formation fluid (e.g.,
hydrocarbons and some salty water). How long it takes to essentially recover the
fracture fluids depends on several factors, primarily the overall production flow rate
(higher is better), the producing gas/fluid ratio, and nature of the geologic materials.
The volume of fracture fluid that is recovered in initial return flow, and then
subsequently over time in the
analyses of ‘faecal indicator bacteria
rate of discharge from the Waitara River’ against ‘coastal faecal
indicator bacteria counts’ for 2012-2013 summer 14
