resultant
changes to the baseline monitoring programme, they have been included in this report. This is to provide
some continuity and an indication of the further work required should the project proceed.
No rating is given for environmental or administrative performance as the project was on hold for the year
under review and monitoring was for the purpose of baseline monitoring as oppose to compliance
monitoring of the exercise of any of the consents.
This report includes recommendations
discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by OMV, this 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 OMV’s approach to
demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including
frequency. There were one or more wells
with pesticides detected in 6 of the 13 participating regions (Table 4), with regional detection
rates varying from 0 to 83% (note that the higher rates were for a small number of sampled
wells). Pesticides were not detected in sampled wells from Bay of Plenty (25 wells) and
Hawkes Bay (14 wells). In 28 of these wells (10%) two or more pesticides were detected
(Table 4). The maximum number of pesticides detected in one well was six. Twenty-five
consent holders
to resource management and, ultimately, through the refinement of methods and
considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable
development of the region’s resources.

development of the region’s resources.

Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving
environment from the activities
in a
regional plan, 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 might exceed 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%
within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
Greymouth Petroleum Limited was unable to estimate the rate or volume at which
formation (produced) water might be taken during exploration, and might exceed
the limits of the permitted activity Rule [Rule 48 of the RFWP]. The taking of
groundwater therefore falls for consideration under Rule 49 of the RFWP as a
controlled activity.
The standards of Rule 49 require that:
• The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10%
Council’s Ordinary Meeting on 21 May 2019. It is proposed to
set the rates for 2019/2020 2 July 2019 Ordinary Meeting.
