continually re-evaluate its approach and that of 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. 1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holders, this report also assigns a rating as to each consent holder’s
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

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%
