1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by STDC, this report also
assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period under
review.

Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by STDC, 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 STDC’s approach to
demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management
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
port. There has been an
increase in exotic forestry plantings – from 9,700 ha in
1990 to an estimated 28,000 ha in 2002 – although
low log prices in more recent times have slowed down
that rate of increase.
2.7.2 PIG AND POULTRY FARMING
There are some 21 piggeries in Taranaki and 48 poultry
farms – mostly concentrated in north Taranaki.
Taranaki has a significant and growing poultry industry.
Taranaki is the major poultry meat producing region in

Note: Appendix IX contains information on good management practices to prevent or minimise the
odour at
significant rates for 6 hours.
Accordingly, measures that might assist to reduce
odour effects include that wastewater land irrigation of
aerobic pond effluent on any day between the last
Sunday in September and the first Sunday in April
should be undertaken prior to 2.00 pm (daylight
saving time). If effluent from shed wastes or an
anaerobic pond is spread or sprayed onto land, it
should be undertaken before 12 noon. As far as
practicable and
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.

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
