Evaluation of environmental performance 1.1.4
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance
by the consent holder/s 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

1.1.4. Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various 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
River, two
consents to discharge effluent and solids to land, two consents for structures in watercourses, and one
consent to discharge emissions into the air at the plant site.
Monitoring is carried out by both the Company and the Council. The Company monitors water abstraction
rate, effluent flow rate and composition, receiving water quality, odour at the plant boundaries, effluent
loadings and soil and herbage for irrigation areas. The Council undertakes inspections of the plant site and
in all
large flood events.

Although indigenous forest is the dominant land cover in the upper sections of the Southern Hill Country
and Northern Hill Country FMUs, the proportions of stream reach graded in band A appear relatively high
considering that the geology and terrain in both of these FMUs are particularly prone to high rates of
sediment erosion. It should be noted that there was limited available monitoring data to calibrate the model
in these areas, with data from neighbouring

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 their environmental and administrative performance during the period
under review.

To assess where irrigation may be viable modelling of irrigation demand was carried
out. Only land with a slope less than 15 degrees and that is currently classified as
‘productive farmland’ was considered. Weather and soil water holding data was then
analysed and parameters around irrigation application rates and reliability of supply
were applied.
For the cost benefits of irrigation to be determined the pasture yield response to
irrigation was assessed using the AusFarm
