1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by
the consent holder during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating as
to the
consent requirements for the vast
majority of the period being reported. During the reported period, the Company was fully compliant with
their residual flow limits, lake levels, and the rise and recession rate restrictions for the lower Patea River.
The Company was required to coordinate a number of investigations and reports during the reporting
period. The bulk of the monitoring work required in relation to these was undertaken prior to the 2017-2018
period and those results have been

With the ongoing high recycling contamination

continues to cut down contamination. Non-
recyclable materials continue to cause issues at
the recycling facility and have a big impact on
processing costs which will have a knock on

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 limits, however this

3 Methods
A questionnaire was developed to elicit people’s involvement with reducing rat numbers,
and their involvement with, and attitude towards trapping rats. Involvement was measured
using a condensed version of the Laurent and Kapferer (1985) involvement scale
developed by Kaine (2019) with respondents rating two statements on
deformation in Taranaki for the
period 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018. It compares the location and rate of earthquake
occurrence in the last year with recent historical activity and also examines the ground
deformation data. These are used in assessing the quiescent state of Taranaki volcano.

The Taranaki Volcano-Seismic Network was commissioned by the Department of Scientific
and Industrial Research in late-1993, with the first usable data being recorded

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report summarises earthquake occurrence and ground deformation in Taranaki for the
period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019. It compares the location and rate of earthquake
occurrence in the last year with recorded activity post-1994 and also examines the ground
deformation data. These are used in assessing the quiescent state of Taranaki volcano.

The Taranaki Volcano-Seismic Network was
productivity, continued to be within the category of mesotrophic to possibly
mildly eutrophic (mildly nutrient enriched). However, taking into account the influence of suspended
sediment in this reservoir, and the moderately low chlorophyll levels, the classification is more appropriately
mesotrophic. Previous trending of these water quality data over time found a very slow rate of increase in
trophic level. Updated trend analysis, for the period 1990-2018, reconfirmed the rate of increase in trophic
