supply depends on minimum flow and allocation. Restrictions can be either total
(i.e. no taking permitted) or partial, whereby some reduction in take rates is required to maintain
compliance with minimum flows. The number of days with total restriction depends on the
minimum flow, as no abstraction is allowed once the river flow falls below the minimum flow (Fig.
21). Allocation affects the number of days there is likely to be partial restrictions with a 10% increase
in allocation causing about
the performance and extent of compliance
by the consent holder during the period under review, this report also assigns a
rating as to NPDC’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 consent holder’s approach to
demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the
and dust deposition rates were
within guideline levels.
During the monitoring period there was one occasion where ammoniacal nitrogen levels in
the Puremu Stream exceeded consent limits, but after investigation it was found to be most
likely due to low flows and rural inputs rather the landfill itself. Ammoniacal levels in the
Puremu Stream returned to normal background levels after flows returned to normal. The
Manganaha Stream continued to show no effects from the landfill.
There
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 consent performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance 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.
It is recommended that future biological monitoring is carried out in conjunction
with physicochemical water quality monitoring, in order to assist with determination of the causes of the
poor results.
Air quality monitoring showed that off site there were no significant adverse effects in relation to
suspended particulates, dust deposition rates or odour beyond the site boundary.
An enclosed gas flare system was installed during the monitoring period and there was only one
re-deployment of the equipment
anywhere in New Zealand by advising and/or procuring transport arrangements at the
MNZ’s expense.
Except when deployed for actual or simulated oil spills, store the equipment at all times
in a secure, clean and dry storage area enclosed from the weather and free of vermin.
Recover from the polluter the cost for the equipment’s use in a marine clean-up response.
The rates to be charged of the polluter are those established by the MNZ for the hire of
the
years,
due to the increase
in heavy
commercial vehicles
using this road.
Minor Improvements
Re-alignment of the Opunake Road/Manaia Road intersection was
completed during the year. Opunake Road has quite a high crash
rate and this improvement will go towards reducing the road toll on
this particular road.
Projects
By the end of June 2017 Stratford District Council had installed 467
out of 755 LED streetlights within Stratford. The remaining 288 LED’s
will be installed
when those earthquakes might occur.
The rate that pore fluid pressure moves away from an injection well depends on the
permeability and porosity4 of the reservoir rocks; in Taranaki oil and gas reservoirs these are
highly variable and range from a few mD to more than a 1000 mD, and 10 to 30%,
respectively (New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals, 2011). To estimate the distance and the
time window for earthquakes we should ideally use actual permeability and porosity values
the
rate of cliff retreat, including some rock fall during the 2014 Eketahuna earthquake
(Rosser et al. 2014). Comparison of photos taken after the Eketahuna earthquake and
the 2015 storm indicate further retreat during the 2015 storm (Figure 36).
