enables the Council to continually re-evaluate its approach
and that of consent holders to resource management and, ultimately, through the refinement of methods
and considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the
region’s resources.
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
utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable
development of the region’s resources.
1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by
the consent holder during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating as
to the Company’s environmental and administrative performance.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving
environment
held.
The monitoring indicated the following:
The discharge of cooling water recorded an increasing ammonia concentration throughout the monitoring
period, though the impact to the Inaha stream was minimal. The thermal effect of the plant discharges were
within the thermal limits for the duration of the monitoring year. The abstraction of surface water and
groundwater was undertaken within compliance standards for the duration of the year. The dilution rate for
the surface water
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. Of the trends, ten were significant
at the 5% level. Two remained significant after FDR application.

Most upstream sites, except for those in the Waiwhakaiho and Waiongana Streams,
generally contained a low periphyton biomass throughout the year. Almost all downstream
sites, except the Stony River and
of the consents monitored through the Taranaki
tailored monitoring programmes, while for another 10% of the consents, a good level of environmental
performance and compliance was achieved.

In terms of overall environmental and compliance performance by the consent holder over the last several
years, this report shows that the consent holder’s performance decreased from high to good (based on
consent ratings related to the compliance issues). However, NPDC’s

numbered_Paras This is straightforward intake of water from behind the weir and is described in section 2 above. The expired consent specified a maximum take of 3900 L/s but there is no metering of the take rate so compliance with this condition has never been monitored. We assume that his limit is based on the
submitters who wish to present their
submission, to consider all of the submissions received and make recommendations on
all of the submissions.
8. As a result of the decisions made, the 2021/2031 Long-Term Plan will be finalised, audited
and presented for adoption at the Council’s Ordinary Meeting on 18 May 2021. It is
proposed to set the rates for 2021/2022 at the same Ordinary Meeting.
Options
9. At this stage of the process, there is only one viable option being the consideration
deformation in Taranaki for the
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
deformation data. These are used in assessing the quiescent state of Taranaki volcano.
