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

New Zealand local authority expenditure as a proportion of total public expenditure is

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

3. The consent holder shall notify the Council within three working days of water first
being taken for the purpose of electricity generation. For clarity, where the conditions of
this consent refer to the date that consent is first exercised that date shall be the date that
water is first taken for the purpose of electricity generation.

consents.
Surface water abstraction was compliant with daily rate and volume. Process water discharges were
compliant with consent defined parameters. Surface water monitoring indicated negligible impacts from the
discharge of process waters. The thermal tolerances within the receiving waters were not exceeded for the
duration of the monitoring period.
Emissions monitoring results from the Taranaki Combined Cycle (TCC) were within consent defined
specifications for the full duration of the
