from 42% to above 70%. Notwithstanding
that while NIWA confirms a definite reduction in E coli levels, the rate of compliance
with NPS-FM targets has not changed over the same period5 due at least in part to the
reality that peak concentrations of E. coli at peak flows are not reduced by such riparian
interventions. Taking the above into account, regional gains in swimmability of some
20-25% in relative terms, from a current 39% (as modelled) to about 50%, is considered
more
resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable
development of the region’s resources.

demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely provision of

incremental gains that might be made..
In terms of future trends within the dairying industry, much has been made of intensification
of land use (conversion to dairying or to higher stocking rates on existing pasture) within the
context of the conversation around national water quality. This review notes an investigation
of the issue
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
irrigation or
municipal water supply to enable them to
comply with any consent limits. It is also
important for ensuring that water allocated
for use is done so in a way that provides for
other freshwater values, such as ecosystem
health.
Under the NPS-FM, water use is managed
by setting environmental flows and levels,
taking into account any changes that are
likely to occur as a result of climate change.
Limits can then be set on the rate and
amount of water taken, and where and
when
objectionable. For the purpose of this condition,
discharges in excess of the following limits, beyond the property boundaries, are deemed to be
offensive or objectionable:
i. dust deposition rate 0.13 g/m2/day; and/or
ii. suspended dust level 5 mg/m3 as a 1-hour average.
ensuring that the conditions are adequate to deal with any adverse effects on the environment
arising from the exercise of this resource consent, which were either not foreseen at the time the
application was considered or
extent of compliance by the Company, this
report also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period
under review.
