Evaluation of environmental performance 1.1.4
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.

Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the Company, this
report also assigns them a rating for their
interventions and any evidence of a change in attainment of the NPS-FM
swimmability criteria; the very high rate of attainment of swimmability in Taranaki
if assessed against EU criteria instead of NPS-FM criteria; and the absence of any
