correlations are undertaken, there is a chance that some will be found to be significant
purely by chance. In order to deal with this potential problem, the Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate
(FDR) method was applied to the results of the Mann-Kendall test. Further justification for this statistical
approach can be found in Stark and Fowles (2006).

during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating as to each Company’s environmental and
administrative performance.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment from the
activities during the monitoring year. Administrative compliance is concerned with the Company’s approach
to demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely provision of
information to …

review can be summarised by the following main points:
Surface soils across the site are dominated by semi-porous silty clay-loams, overlying more
impervious clay soils
Soils below 2000 mm have not been characterised
Chloride concentrations in the soil beneath the irrigation zone are highly elevated compared
to non-irrigated areas
The shallow groundwater table is in direct connection with semi-porous loamy silty-clay
Due to high rates of irrigation loading, shallow

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
