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 might exceed that of the permitted activity (Rule 48).
Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject to two
conditions:
• The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10% lowering
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
performance is concerned with the Company’s approach to demonstrating
model as
unsustainable. Symptoms of market failure for the linear system include: pollution to air, water
and land; climate change; release of persistent toxic substances; unsustainable rates of harvest
for food and materials; and loss of species, habitats and ecosystems.
The Earth’s capacity is finite, while the human population and our aspirations for material
consumption continue to grow. As a result, global consumption of raw materials and natural
ecosystem services is

Although indigenous forest is the dominant land cover in the upper sections of the Southern Hill Country
and Northern Hill Country FMUs, the proportions of stream reach graded in band A appear relatively high
considering that the geology and terrain in both of these FMUs are particularly prone to high rates of
sediment erosion. It should be noted that there was limited available monitoring data to calibrate the model
in these areas, with data from neighbouring

Commentary/Highlights
The Council implemented 209 specific individual compliance programmes in 2015/2016 for major consent holders
(including catchment programmes that cover multiple consent holders within a single programme), together with
additional programmes for hydrocarbon exploration and development activities as they arose. Consent holders have
been assessed on environmental performance and on consent compliance. The ratings for

sustainable development of the region’s resources.

Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance
by the consent holder during the period under review, this report also assigns a
rating as to the Company’s environmental and administrative performance.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or
combined with efficient recycling, the small volumes of surface water
required to be abstracted for washing at quarries fit within the permitted activity rule
[Rule 15] of the Regional Fresh Water Plan for Taranaki. That is, the abstraction
volume shall not exceed 50 cubic metres per day, and the abstraction rate shall not
exceed 1.5 litres per second.
