loading
rates and effects on water. Sampling of soil and water is required of the consent holder to monitor contaminant inputs
and the effects and progress of the landfarming. The Council also carries out regular compliance monitoring, which is
documented in annual reports for each site. The reports are publicly available on the Council’s website.
The Council has produced guidelines (TRC, 2005) for the disposal of drilling wastes, based on Canadian guidelines but
modified for
level of environmental performance during the 2015-2016
year. Of the 20 consents for which compliance and environmental performance could be
categorised, 2 (10%) were rated ‘improvement required’ and 18 (90%) were rated ‘high’.
The site was generally well managed, however, two incidents resulted from procedural issues
that have now been addressed. Water abstraction limits were adhered to. The stormwater
system performed well and no impacts were detected in the receiving environments. There
an infringement notice issued as a result of one of the complaints
received about the site.
During the year, TBS Coatings Limited demonstrated a good level of environmental
performance and a high level of administrative performance with the resource consent. An
exceedance of the dust deposition rate was observed in two of the six gauges deployed, which
may have been the result of re-suspended yard dust. The Company undertook a site clean up
as a result of this non-compliance. No

During the period under review the Company demonstrated a high level of

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 consent compliance in site operations and management including
the timely
and
considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable
development of the region’s resources.
1.1.4 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
proximity, giving us access to
amenity, services and activities that people value. While urban environments share these common
characteristics, they also have unique local variations; the traits that make one urban environment
different from another. Urban environments often have high rates of population and economic
growth. Reflecting this, they are dynamic, and are constantly changing to reflect the needs of their
communities. This constant change can have both positive and negative impacts:
on the update to the 2020/2021 estimates
and Annual Plan and to commence the special consultative procedure (section 83
of the Local Government Act 2002) to enable the Council to fix its 2020/2021
administrative charges pursuant to section 36 of the Resource Management Act 1991
b) approves the update of the 2020/2021 estimates and Annual Plan in relation to
amending the estimates to hold general rates at 2019/2020 levels
c) notes the update changes the earlier proposal for a 3.8% …
administrative performance with respect to their resource consents.
The main rationale for the improvement required rating was due to the finding of objectionable odour on
two occasions within the monitoring period and the resultant issuing of an infringement notice.
For reference, in the 2017-2018 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 76% of the consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored monitoring
programmes, while for
administrative performance with respect to their resource consents.
