1.1.4 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
Trend
analysis has been carried out using the LWP-Trends library R package (version 1901), developed by Land
Water People Ltd. (Snelder and Fraser, 2019). The methods employed have the primary purpose of
establishing the direction and rate of any trend, along with a measure of the uncertainty in the result. Trend
analysis is undertaken using the last 10 years of monitoring data (1 July 2010 to 30 June 2020) when the
following criteria have been satisfied:
• There is at least 75% data …
under consent conditions and this showed that daily
volume limits and instantaneous abstraction rates were complied with for the majority of the monitoring
period. Self-monitoring of the Inglewood discharge showed that the discharge generally complied with
consent conditions.
During the year, NPDC demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance with the
resource consents.
For reference, in the 2020-2021 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level
circulation conditions (eg asthma, emphysema, heart attack, strokes); over the longer term,
increased concentrations correlate with increased cancer rates and premature death rates as well as chronic
respiratory illnesses.
While the current NES-AQ, set by MfE in 2004, is for fine particulate matter of 10 µm diameter (PM10 ), it is
anticipated that the next revision of the NES-AQ will focus on PM2.5, given its higher potential for adverse
health effects. As a result, in this report exposure to

Ecosystem health is variable throughout the Southern Hill Country FMU. Nitrogen levels are generally low,
but elevated in-stream concentrations of dissolved reactive phosphorous are found in the majority of rivers,
along with high rates of sedimentation, which impact aquatic ecosystems. Periphyton is monitored at one
site, with occasional blooms occurring, although there is limited data to provide a comprehensive picture of
algal growth across this FMU. Macroinvertebrate community
