good rating for environmental and high rating for administrative performance and compliance with the
resource consents. There was one non-compliant discharge recorded during the year, however, the cause
for the
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
the Mann-Kendall test. Further justification for this statistical approach
