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 companies environmental and administrative performance during
the period under review. The rating categories are high,
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
Appendix II.
For reference, in the 2021-2022 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and
the on-
site activities, and compliance with the conditions of the consents during the period under review. The
monitoring programme for this year included nine inspections, one water sampling survey, one soil
sampling survey, and two in-stream biomonitoring surveys.
During the monitoring period, the site generally demonstrated a level of administrative performance
that requires improvement in terms of annual reporting. The environmental performance is rated ‘good’
rather than high’ due to
resource consents held by Fonterra for the Whareroa site 5

discharge quality. Water take and discharge rates are now being telemetered to the Council, but a review of
the placement of the flowmeters is still required. The groundwater monitoring bores have been installed
and monitoring will begin in the forthcoming year.
