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 organisation’s
environmental and administrative performance during the period under review.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving
environment from the activities during the monitoring year. Administrative
performance is concerned with the organisation’s approach to demonstrating consent
compliance
drift enters surface water;
d) The discharge does not occur at a rate at which it cannot be assimilated by the
soil/pasture system; and
e) The pasture cover within irrigation areas is maintained at all times. e
Condition 10 treated wastewater discharged by irrigation to land shall not have a
hydrocarbon content exceeding 5% total petroleum hydrocarbon or a sodium adsorption

7.1 Mr B G Chamberlain, Chief Executive, spoke to the memorandum to set the rates for
the 2018/2019 financial year which are driven from the adopted 2018/2028 Long-Term
Plan.
7.2 Mr M J Nield, Director-Corporate Services, noted to Members that Deloitte’s have
verbally advised the Council of their preparedness to issue an unqualified audit
opinion on the final Long-Term Plan following formatting and minor editorial changes
to be completed.
Resolved
That the Taranaki
enables the Council to continually re-evaluate its approach
and that of consent holders to resource management and, 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 and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the Company, this
report also assigns them a rating for
flared
d) Imposition of limits on or relating to
discharge or ambient concentrations of
contaminants, or on or relating to mass
discharge rates
e) Best practicable option to prevent or
minimise any adverse effects on the
environment
f) Location of any facilities or equipment for
hydrocarbon flaring in relation to
surrounding land uses
g) Separation of natural gas from liquid
hydrocarbons and water
h) Notification of flaring to neighbours,
affected parties, and the Council
assessment of the
abstraction and discharge data provided by NPDC.
The monitoring showed that overall the NPDC water schemes are well operated and maintained and appeared
to be having no adverse effects on the environment.
NPDC provided all the abstraction data required under consent conditions and the data showed that all
daily volume limits and instantaneous abstraction rates were complied with. Self-monitoring of the
Inglewood discharge showed minor non-compliances with suspended solids
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 Company, the report also assigns it a rating for its environmental and
administrative performance during the period under review.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the
receiving environment form the activities during the
consent holder and unforeseeable (that is a defence under the
provisions of the RMA can be established) may be excluded with regard to the performance rating applied.
For example loss of data due to a flood destroying deployed field equipment.
The categories used by the Council for this monitoring period, and their interpretation, are as follows:
Environmental Performance
High: No or inconsequential (short-term duration, less than minor in severity) breaches of consent or
regional plan
land use 1996 – 2008 and 2008 - 2020 (Source PCE, 2013)

2008 – 2020 -32,000 17,700 14,900 -600
For the purposes of this exercise the trend rate from 2008 – 2014 is used and it is assumed
this is replicated over the following 10 years to 2025. This would give an annual increase in

Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment from the
activities during the monitoring year. Administrative performance is concerned with the organisation’s
approach to demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely
provision of information to Council (such as contingency plans and water
