Eucalyptus muelleriana yellow stringybark
Yellow stringybark requires well drained soils. It will
grow on clay over sandstone, on warm sand dunes and
old rain forest soils. It needs sheltered moist valleys,
with surrounding vegetation to help draw the stems up
and reduce its tendency to form multiple leaders. It
grows best on slopes with north and west aspects.

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 the Company’s
approach to demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely
provision of
agricultural land use within the Taranaki region. The
New Zealand Dairy Statistics (published by LIC and Dairy NZ) for the 2011-12 year
indicate that the total area utilised for dairy farming in the Taranaki region is 170,968
hectares. The region supports a total of 1,731 dairy herds comprising a total of
484,204 cows. The average stocking rate across the region is 2.83 cows per hectare
and average milk-solids production is 358 kg per cow. The Taranaki region accounts
for approximately 10.4% of the

During the year, TBS Coatings Limited demonstrated a good level of environmental and
high level of administrative performance with the resource consents. One dust complaint
was received, but this was not substantiated at the time of investigation. However, an
exceedance of the dust deposition rate was observed in one of the five gauges deployed,
which was likely to be a result of re-suspended yard
been an increase in the
amount and rate of stream modification.
The Taranaki Regional Council (the
Council) and the wider community
recognise the positive consequences of
modifying small streams and that in some
circumstances their modification may be
appropriate. However, it is also
recognised that small stream modification
may result in significant adverse effects
upon instream habitat and/or on other
users and uses of freshwater, and that
these effects should be avoided, remedied
or
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 may have exceeded 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 of
sustainable development of the
region’s resources.
