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 Trust, this report also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period under review. Environmental performance is concerned …
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

time (Option 2). We’d need to borrow up to $55 million, which would be repaid over 25 years from a targeted rate that would vary according to constituency. Households would pay $51 to $76 a year, depending on location. This is up from the existing $11 to $20 a year. For another $14 million we could also incorporate enlarged and extra hospitality spaces (Option 4). Expert analysis suggests this would be a sound investment popular with event promoters and spectators alike. But we’d …
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
also assigns a rating as to STDC’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 in site operations and management including the timely provision of information to Council (such as contingency plans and water

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
