exception of the ammonia criteria, those utilised for this assessment were rated to have satisfactory to very

levels. This had been addressed through extension of the irrigation disposal
system in 2007-2008, and by more intensive wastewater and groundwater monitoring. During the year
under review, there was a higher nitrogen load applied to the paddocks than in the 2017-2020 years. The
nitrogen application rates increased by about 14% on Farm 1 and 20% on Farms 2 and 3 in the 2019-2020
year, with further increases of 10% on Farm 1, 4% on Farm 2, and 18% on Farm 3 during the year under
review. On Farm 3,

region’s resources.

can result in substantial changes in sediment regimes.
Streams in pastureland generally have a greater sediment yield than those under forested areas
(Davis-Colley, 1997). National literature of erosion rates in New Zealand suggest erosion rates are
between 3 – 11 times higher in catchments under pasture than those under forest, and sediment
yields are 50 – 80 % higher in pastureland than forested catchments (Basher, 2013). The processes
operating on Mount Taranaki may be contrary to this,

Evaluation of environmental 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 Company’s environmental and administrative performance during
the period under review. The rating categories are high, good, improvement required and poor for both
environmental and administrative performance. The interpretations for these ratings are found in
applications relating to the continued operation and
maintenance of the Mangorei HEPS.
