the impact of
invasive plants and animals.
Habitat loss (through land
clearance and drainage) has
historically been the main
pressure on biodiversity. While
the rate of land clearance and
drainage has declined in recent times, the
ongoing loss and modification of remnant
habitats remains an issue, particularly on
privately owned land in Taranaki. Even
small losses of habitat can now have a
disproportionate impact on remaining
biodiversity – not only in terms of remnant
sites

development of the region’s resources.

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

key preventative measure for reducing the rate of
spread of pest plants and animals, and stopping new species from arriving in the region. The TRC
Biosecurity Strategy includes the following actions to achieve Objective 4.1:
1. Undertake risk assessments and contingency planning for harmful organisms not yet
present in the region.
2. Undertake surveillance of high risk pathways to ensure the early detection of harmful
organisms in the region. …

Based on a site area of 1. 4 ha (Pad 1 & 3), a rainfall intensity of 43 mm/hr (i. e. 7 mm in 10
mins = 42 mm in 1 hour), and the above coefficients, the estimated runoffflow rate from
Pad 1 and 3 will be 325. 8m3/hr. This is an extremely conservative estimate and is likely to
overestimate the volume to be actually discharged from the composting pad 1 & 3 during

and on consent compliance. The rates for these consent holders in 2014/2015 was found to be 75% ‘high’ and 22% ‘good’.
The farm dairy effluent monitoring programme for the year has commenced with officers undertaking inspections and water
quality sampling to assess compliance with consent conditions. The non compliance rate is at a similar level to last year.
Monitoring inspections of permitted

STDC demonstrated a high level of administrative compliance with its resource consents. No
rating is given for environmental effects as no discharges or in-stream works have yet to occur.
No incidents were recorded by Council in regards to this site during the period under review.
For reference, in the 2013-2014 year, 60% of consent holders in Taranaki monitored through
tailored compliance monitoring programmes achieved a high level of environmental
performance and
