the groundwater abstraction might exceed that of the permitted activity (Rule 48).
Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction to be undertaken as a controlled
activity, subject to two conditions:
• The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10% lowering of static water-level by
interference with any adjacent bore;
• The abstraction shall not cause the intrusion of saltwater into any fresh water aquifer.
Todd Energy Limited holds water permit 6971-1 to
surrender. Paddock 22 was found to have been landfarmed after a second
sample was collected. This contrasted with the consent holder’s records.
During the year, the consent holder demonstrated a good level of environmental performance and an
improvement is required for administrative performance with their resource consents. An overall good
performance rating was awarded, this was downgraded from a high due to the impact that was noted on
the biological communities. The grading of the

native fish habitat. The stream drains into the Manganui River below the principal
abstractions for the Motukawa HEP scheme. This site requires flow gauging on each
sampling occasion for rating purposes.

This site is representative of a northern Taranaki ringplain stream, (but with its
source outside the National Park), draining an agricultural catchment. The site is also
a hydrological recording station. It is located

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

The most improvement in long term water quality has been illustrated in the Waingongoro River at SH 45,
with significantly improving trends in DRP and total phosphorus, and with reduction in nitrate and total
nitrogen by slightly less than the rate defined as significant. This improvement has been coincident with
land-irrigation of a major industrial (meatworks) discharge since 2001 and the diversion of Eltham’s WWTP
discharge out of the river since 2010.
Significant deteriorations in black disc clarity were recorded at two sites, one of which
reflected historical erosion events in the headwaters.

this period if farmers had not been
changing their practices. Likewise, significantly more sediment (30% more) would have
entered rivers from sheep and beef farms, over this period, had farmers not
implemented controls.
25. In terms of quantitative changes in contaminant loads to water since 1995 from pastoral
lands, sediment and phosphorus loads have reduced significantly, by about 25%, over
this period. Most of the reduction in phosphorus loss rates has come through mitigation
