monitoring period. There were also multiple breaches of consent 10314-1 whereby OWSL continued to

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
studies undertaken in the late 1980s by
the Taranaki Catchment Commission showed that the entire Taranaki coastline is eroding at
long term average rates between 0.05 m/year and 1.89 m/year with exceptions at the Patea
and Stony (Hangatahua) river mouths where the coast was accreting. Erosion rates differ at
different locations, primarily due to differences around the coast in geology, coastal
orientation, proximity to river mouths and matters such as dune management.

of sheds discharging at the higher rate is best determined using statistical techniques
based on empirical data. The other experts do not agree that there are sufficient
data to allow reliable conclusions to be drawn.
