(chlorophyll a 200
mg/m2) from 2025 onwards. The Council’s long-established chlorophyll a sampling protocol differs from
that established more recently for the NOF guideline and therefore results cannot be directly translated to
NOF bands. The Council is now also conducting a NOF-aligned periphyton monitoring programme.
Long-term trends in periphyton cover have been analysed using a combination of the Mann-Kendall
technique, a 5% significance level, and a Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate …
significant surf breaks within an Appendix to the statutory document. Each surf break is
identified as a point location only. No additional information was provided on their characteristics or other
rationale for regional significance.
Coombes & Scarfe (2010) were the first to propose explicit criteria for regional significance in a New
Zealand planning context. The criteria were applied to rate surf breaks in the Auckland region that were
identified from Morse & Brunskill (2004),
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
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.

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

f) Location of any facilities or equipment for
hydrocarbon flaring in relation to
surrounding land uses
g) Separation of natural gas from liquid

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
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
minimise the adverse effects of the
discharge and/or in setting other conditions
relating to adverse effects of the discharge.
Background Information
4 The method of calculation is based on the
amount of flue gases which the chimney is
expected to emit as a function of the maximum
rate of emission of sulphur dioxide. This applies
to fuels such as oil and coal. For natural
gas/liquefied petroleum gas fired equipment,
refer to paragraph 13 (b).

rainfall for the Waitara catchment is expected to be about 2,200
mm. A catchment-wide mean annual rainfall of about 3,200 mm is estimated for the Manganui River
based on the recorded mean flow at Everett Park (19.5 m3/s).
In a normal year, significant rainfall occurs in every month of the year, with the three months from
January to March receiving roughly 30% less rainfall than other months on average. This lower
rainfall period coupled with the higher temperatures and evapo-transpiration rates in
