between 2007 and 2012—but the annual rate of wetland area loss has reduced by 60%. 178 sites covering 119,103 hectares are classed as Key Native Ecosystems. . 4,374 properties in the Self-help Possum Control Programme— the largest participation in NZ. formally protected by the Department of Conservation (DOC) or under a QEII or DOC covenant—up from 145,000 hectares in 2008. 31 new QEII covenants were registered in Taranaki in
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 …
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
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
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. One matter addressed during the monitoring period in relation to the improvement of fish
has been increasing at a very slow rate since monitoring began (0.02±0.01 units per year). Initial monitoring showed the lake was in a mesotrophic state, and has over time moved to a mildly eutrophic state. Previous analysis has determined that the trophic level is heavily influenced by high turbidity values and therefore not a true indication of actual trophic status (as determined by primary production) of the lake (Burns 2006). 1.2.1 Lake stratification processes The formation of a …
sustainable development of the region’s resources. 1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental performance 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 Company’s environmental and administrative performance during the period under review. The rating categories are high, good, improvement required and poor for both environmental and administrative performance. The interpretations for these ratings are

ponds. For the 2018-2019 period, record of pig numbers and effluent discharges were provided, as required. The piggery size and number of 50 kg equivalents remain mainly unchanged and met the consent limit. The calculated volume of effluent discharged to Waiongana Stream was significantly lower than the previous two years, due largely to the commencement of irrigating treated effluent to land. The Waiongana Stream flow rate was above the minimum rate required on each discharge occasion.
