biological monitoring surveys indicated that the discharge of treated stormwater and leachate
discharges from the Colson Road landfill site had not had any significant detrimental effect on the
macroinvertebrate communities of the Puremu and Manganaha Streams, or the unnamed tributary of the
Puremu Stream.
Air quality monitoring showed that there were no significant adverse effects in relation to suspended
particulates, dust deposition rates or odour beyond the site boundary.

recommendation 7 below, the preferred option is option 2
to raise up to $55m to repair the stands and upgrade associated facilities, noting
that the proposed facilities upgrades will be implemented in a prioritised
manner to the extent of the available budget

modelled water quality variables. Model predictions were evaluated
to be very good, good, satisfactory or unsatisfactory, following the criteria proposed by Moriasi
et al., 2007, outlined in Table 4.

In its submission, the Council asked why the Government wanted to harm the industry in
this way, when Taranaki’s mountain-fed rivers are rated in the ‘A’ and ‘B’ bands for
ecological health by the Government’s own measure. Their ecological health has, with only
rare exception, been stable or improving for a decade or more.

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by GPL, this report also
assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period under
review.
Environmental
also assigns a rating as to each Company’s 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 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
