the past decade. Changes in river water temperature are more subtle, while air and soil temperatures have risen sharply, with soil temperature increasing at a rate of around 1.4°C per decade. Changes over 10 to 15 year periods are affected by long-term climate trends as well as changes due to shorter climatic cycles, such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. An assessment of cold temperature trends for air, soil and river water suggests that in coming years we can
biomonitoring surveys of receiving waters. In addition, it undertakes continuous monitoring of the temperature of the cooling water discharge and of the Inaha Stream, and a staff gauge rating was maintained for measurement of flow in the stream. The monitoring indicated compliance was achieved in terms of abstraction rates and volumes with respect to water takes from both the Inaha Stream and the associated groundwater abstraction bore. However, some data was missing from the surface water
into the Waingongoro River, two consents to discharge effluent and solids to land, two consents for structures in watercourses, and one consent to discharge emissions into the air at the plant site. Monitoring is carried out by both the Company and the Council. The Company monitors water abstraction rate, effluent flow rate and composition, receiving water quality, odour at the plant boundaries, effluent loadings and soil and herbage for irrigation areas. The Council undertakes inspections …
nitrogen concentration in the pond and the rainfall 30 days prior to the sampling event. This was based on 7 ammoniacal nitrogen concentrations measured between October 2017 and April 2019. The relationship has an R2 value of 74%. Using this relationship, the monthly rainfall from 2018 was used to calculate monthly nitrogen concentrations in the pond. The concentration was converted to a loading rate in kg/ha/month based on the volume irrigated (calculated from 2018 irrigation hours and an

sustainable development of the region’s resources. Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holder, this report also assigns them a rating for their 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.
