a result of
the decisions made, the updated 2017/2018 Annual Plan will then be adopted. It is proposed
to set the rates for 2017/2018 at the 27 June 2017 Ordinary Meeting.
Decision-making considerations
Part 6 (Planning, decision-making and accountability) of the Local Government Act 2002 has
been considered and documented in the preparation of this agenda item. The
recommendations made in this item comply with the decision-making obligations of the Act.

Trend analysis was performed by applying a LOWESS fit (tension 0.4) to a time scatterplot
of the percentage cover of thick mats, and long filaments of periphyton for all sites and by
testing the significance of any trend using the Mann-Kendall test at the 5% level, followed by
Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) analysis.
The results for the SEM nuisance periphyton programme during the 2014/2015 monitoring
year showed that five sites breached nuisance

enforcement action may follow. As a result of the issues, the Company’s environmental performance rating
for the year under review has been downgraded.
During the year, the Company demonstrated a level of environmental and administrative
critical infrastructure using the methodology
described in Section 1.4, rating assets as nationally, regionally and locally significant.
As a minimum, the data provided included spatial (locational information), asset type and a criticality
rating. At the first project workshop, the criticality assessment process was discussed so that a
reasonably consistent approach was taken across the lifelines sector.
2. Collection of regional hazard information
The most accurate and
below (less than 10% of) the national environmental standards for air
quality (AQNES) (50 μg/m3). The air downwind of the flare would be rated according to MfE
criteria as ‘excellent’ in respect of the PM10 concentration.
Dioxins/furans: emissions of dioxins and furans expressed as toxic equivalents could not be
distinguished from zero (i.e there was no meaningful difference between the combustion
zone result and the laboratory blank result, at the limits of detection of mass quantities used
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 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,
Effluent management aside, Options one and two are similar in expecting water ways fenced and
riparian margins managed with timeframes to have this work completed before a regulatory regime
is implemented for those yet to meet the deadlines. The major difference between these two
policies is implementing land based effluent irrigation in all but exceptional circumstances.
In relation to the first two policy options, this report finds that:
• If the rate of fencing experienced in the
