1.1.3 Evaluation of environmental and consent performance
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 each Company’s environmental and administrative performance.

to the 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 provision of
information to Council (such as contingency plans and water take data)
Waimoku) met
the national bathing guideline, and this is a lower rate of non-compliance than in the
previous two years. Of the 14% of samples that exceeded the guideline, 10% arose from just
two sites- the two New Plymouth urban sites. Bird life was mainly responsible for the
exceedances at these sites, where on occasions recreationalists have fed the birds.
Two sites recorded all single samples in either the ‘Alert’ or the ‘Action’ mode of the MfE,

water quality measurement, pest free

Ecological communities are impacted by moderate DRP

conditions also favour eutrophication, DRP enrichment
may cause increased algal and plant growth, loss of
