The specific measures required will depend on the circumstances. page - 5 - 3 Methods A questionnaire was developed to elicit people’s involvement with reducing rat numbers, and their involvement with, and attitude towards trapping rats.

established chlorophyll a sampling protocols differ from those established more recently in the NOF, and results cannot be directly translated to NOF bands. Trend analysis was performed by applying a LOWESS fit (tension 0.4) to a time scatterplot of the percentage cover of thick mats, and long filaments of periphyton for all sites and by testing the significance of any trend using the Mann-Kendall test at the 5% level, followed by Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) analysis.
by past extraction from some rivers in the region, which was occurring at a rate greater than the natural rate of supply. It has been ten years since the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) adopted the Freshwater Plan. The Freshwater Plan contains a suite of policies, objectives, and methods associated with riverbed gravel extraction. In 2011 the Council undertook a preliminary analysis of river aggradation1 in Taranaki. The report entitled Aggradation in rivers and streams
right should be granted and no general authorisation made in respect of the Hangatahua (Stony) River catchment where the effect of doing so would be that the provisions of the Notice could not remain in force without change or variation. The fourth provision of the Notice stated that the quantity and rate of flow in the Hangatahua (Stony) River and its tributaries, and the quantity and level of natural water in the ponds and tarns that form part of the protected waters, were to be retained in
now. 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 have been
details of the performance and extent of compliance by the CCCWSL, 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. Administrative performance is concerned with CCCWSL’s approach to demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely
been rated as Good, as although the performance against most consent conditions with respect to the administrative compliance was high, issues around testing of the integrity of the water take pipeline and meeting the requirements of the Resource Management (Measurement and Reporting of Water Takes) Regulations 2010 are yet to be resolved. Methanex have been open and participative in their communication with regard to their progress on these issues. For reference, in the 2015-2016 year, 71%
