Southern monitoring reveals possum hot spots
We are currently completing possum monitoring in the
South operation. There have been several hot spots with
catch rates well above required levels. In some areas it
appears there has been little or no control work done,
which is disappointing. These farmers are making it
harder and more expensive for their neighbours, who are
working hard to keep numbers low.
As a result, an increased number of Notices of Direction

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 their environmental and administrative performance during the period
under review.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely
the monitoring year. The associated analyses indicated that CO2 emissions, steam use per
unit of gas, and metal depositions all exhibited reduced or similar levels to previous reporting from 2015-
2019.
Additional ambient air quality monitoring for carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was
conducted per the Company’s request under conditions 8 and 9 from consent 4087-2. The results indicated
the KGTP was rated in the Ministry for Environment National Environmental Standards and …

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

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

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.
