4.2 The Committee noted and discussed the Waitaha Catchment monitoring programme report. The water quality in the upper Waitaha catchment was being impacted by unconsented discharges through the stormwater systems making the identification of the source of discharge very difficult. The Council is continuing to extensively monitor the catchment, and in cooperation with the New Plymouth District Council (as consented reticulation owners), educating and engaging with potentially discharging industries who may be unaware of their environmental responsibilities. A tightening up on potentially unauthorised charges should, with time, improve water quality in the upper catchment.

Agenda Memorandum

Date 9 June 2015

Memorandum to Chairperson and Members Consents and Regulatory Committee

Subject: Resource consents issued under delegated authority and applications in progress

Item: 2

Approved by: A D McLay, Director – Resource Management

B G Chamberlain, Chief Executive

Document: 1517479

Purpose The purpose of this memorandum is to advise the Committee of consents granted, consents under application and of consent processing actions since the last meeting. This information is summarised in figures at the end of this report.

Recommendation That the Taranaki Regional Council: 1. receives the schedule of resource consents granted under delegated authority.

Background The following resource consent applications have been investigated by officers of the Taranaki Regional Council. They are activities with less than minor adverse effects on the environment or minor effects and affected parties have agreed to the activity. In accordance with sections 104 to 108 and section 139 of the Resource Management Act 1991, and pursuant to delegated authority to make decisions on consent applications, the Chief Executive or the Director—Resource Management has granted the consents/certificates of compliance.

The exercise of delegations under the Resource Management Act 1991 is reported for Committee Members’ information. Under the delegations manual, consent processing actions are to be reported to the Consents and Regulatory Committee. Resource consents and any certificates of compliance issued are detailed here, other decisions relating to administrative procedures (e.g. further information requests and time line extensions) are reported in the annual activity report.

The attached appendices (consent applications in progress) show the total number of applications in the consent processing system over the last twelve months. The number of applications for the renewal of resource consents is also shown. The difference between the two is the number of new applications, including applications for a change of conditions. New applications take priority over renewal applications. Renewal applications are generally put on hold, with the agreement of the applicant, and processed when staff resources allow. A consent holder can continue to operate under a consent that is subject to renewal. The above approach is pragmatic and ensures there are no regulatory impediments to new activities requiring authorisation.

Also attached are the following:

. Applications in progress table - the number of applications in progress at the end of each month (broken down into total applications and the number of renewals in progress) for this year and the previous two years. . Consents issued table - the number of consents issued at the end of each month for this year and the previous two years. . Potential hearings spreadsheet outlining the current status of limited/notified applications where hearing committees have been appointed.

Decision-making considerations Part 6 (Planning, decision-making and accountability) of the Local Government Act 2002 has been considered and documented in the preparation of this agenda item. The recommendations made in this item comply with the decision-making obligations of the Act.

Financial considerations—LTP/Annual Plan This memorandum and the associated recommendations are consistent with the Council’s adopted Long-Term Plan and estimates. Any financial information included in this memorandum has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice.

Policy considerations This memorandum and the associated recommendations are consistent with the policy documents and positions adopted by this Council under various legislative frameworks including, but not restricted to, the Local Government Act 2002, the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Biosecurity Act 1993.

Legal considerations This memorandum and the associated recommendations comply with the appropriate statutory requirements imposed upon the Council.

Agenda Memorandum

Date 9 June 2015

Memorandum to Chairperson and Members Consents and Regulatory Committee

Subject: Consent monitoring annual reports

Item: 3

Approved by: G K Bedford, Director Environment Quality

B G Chamberlain, Chief Executive

Document: 1513802

Purpose The purpose of this memorandum is to advise the Committee of the preparation of eight tailored compliance monitoring reports. Recommendations pertaining to each site or programme are set out in the relevant report. The attention of Committee members is directed to the Executive Summary at the front of each report.

Executive summary There are eight reports for presentation to the meeting. The reports being presented include two annual, four biennial and one triennial reports along with one report covering the period 2009-2014. The reports cover programmes associated with a range of activities, including baseline monitoring of a proposed landfill and monitoring of activities such as dredging of the Port, district council water supplies, wellsites and hydraulic fracturing.

All reports have been prepared by staff of the Science Services section and have been submitted to the consent holder for comment prior to publication. All reports provide a performance rating for each consent holder in relation to their activities over the period(s) being reported and provide recommendations for the following monitoring year.

Of the eight reports being presented to this meeting, six consent holders demonstrated a high level of environmental performance, and one demonstrated a good level of environmental performance. The remaining programme only determined administrative compliance, which was high, as the consent holder was yet to start discharging or disturbing the bed of a river.

As a result of compliance monitoring being undertaken by the Council, there were no incidents lodged in regard to consent holder activities. There were as a result no abatement or infringement notices issued in relation to the consents being reported on.

Hydrocarbon well drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and re-injection activities were conducted without incident.

Discussion

South Taranaki District Council Central Landfill Baseline monitoring programme report 2013-2014

In 1996 the South Taranaki District Council (STDC) instigated plans to establish a large landfill in the Eltham area. The purpose of this site was to ultimately accept waste from the South Taranaki and Stratford Districts. The plan was changed to allow for a regionalised approach to waste disposal and the site is now currently a proposed option as the replacement regional landfill once the facility at Colson Rd, New Plymouth has reached capacity. The final decision is subject to review of all alternatives to be undertaken by the district councils of the region. The (proposed) Eltham Central landfill site is situated in the Waingongoro catchment on Rotokare Rd approximately two kilometres south of Eltham. This report sets out the results of the baseline monitoring activities undertaken in the 2013- 2014 period.

The STDC holds a total of five consents which contain 77 special conditions. These consents cover all aspects of the construction and operation of the landfill. At present none of the consents held by STDC in relation to landfill construction and operation have been exercised. The consents have extended lapse periods to allow for an interim period prior to exercise.

Consent conditions specify that baseline monitoring of the ground and surface receiving waters are to be undertaken to obtain data for comparison to that gathered from compliance monitoring surveys when the landfill has commenced operations.

The monitoring showed that surface water quality was comparable to that found over the previous monitoring period and indicative of good water quality comparable to that expected in similar streams in the area. Groundwater results were comparable to the historical data, and within the normal ranges for groundwater in the area

During the 2013-2014 monitoring period, Council took nine groundwater level readings, three groundwater samples, and six surface water samples.

This report outlines all of the consents held by the STDC, reports on the baseline monitoring activities carried out in the 2013-2014 period, and discusses the results.

STDC demonstrated a high level of administrative compliance with its resource consents. No rating is given for environmental effects as no discharges or in-stream works have yet to occur.

No incidents were recorded by Council in regards to this site during the period under review.

For reference, in the 2013-2014 year, 60% of consent holders in Taranaki monitored through tailored compliance monitoring programmes achieved a high level of environmental performance and compliance with their consents, while another 29% demonstrated a good level of environmental performance and compliance with their consents.

This report includes recommendation for the 2014-2015 year.

Stratford District Council Water Supplies monitoring programme report 2013- 2014

The Stratford District Council (SDC) operates three water supply schemes in the Stratford district, which supply water to the town of Stratford and to the villages of Midhirst and Toko. This report for the period July 2013–June 2014 describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess SDC’s environmental performance during the period under review, and the results and environmental effects of SDC’s activities.

SDC holds 10 resource consents in relation to water supplies, which include a total of 60 conditions setting out the requirements that the consent holder must satisfy. The consent holder holds four consents to allow it to take and use water, three consents to discharge filter backwash, and three consents to construct and maintain in-stream structures.

During the monitoring period, SDC demonstrated an overall good level of environmental performance.

The Council’s monitoring programme for the year under review included an inspection of each scheme, a review of abstraction data, collection of a sample of the Stratford Water Treatment Plant’s (WTP) backwash and a fish survey undertaken in the Konini Stream.

During the monitoring period the consent holder upgraded its larger plant at Stratford. As a result of the upgrade there was a minor issue in regards to data loss during the change-over from a manual to an automated system. Overall the plant upgrades (at Stratford and also now at Midhirst) are now performing well and transmitting abstraction data to Council databases in real time. It was also found during inspection that the Konini weir fish pass required some maintenance, which was addressed by the consent holder.

During the year, SDC demonstrated a good level of environmental and administrative performance with the resource consents. No incidents were recorded during the monitoring year in relation to SDC’s compliance at the WTP.

This report includes recommendations for the 2014-2015 year, including a recommendation relating to an optional review of consent 1276-3.

Port Taranaki dredging monitoring programme report 2009-2014

Port Taranaki Limited (the Company) is the commercial operator of the port located on Breakwater Road, New Plymouth. Port Taranaki is an artificially created harbour which is contained by two breakwaters enclosing 94 hectares of sheltered water. The Company undertakes regular dredging to maintain navigable channels within the port. Sand accumulates in large quantities around the tip of the main breakwater and this has to be removed on a regular basis in order to maintain the required depth in the entrance channel.

Due to this accumulation of sand around the breakwater, the city beaches to the north east of the port have previously been starved of sand.

The Company holds resource consent 5886-1 that allows the Company to deposit the fine sands that accumulate around the end of the main breakwater in a nearshore dispersal site, in an attempt to introduce this sand back into the natural littoral drift and help replenish the city’s beaches.

This report for the period July 2009-June 2014 describes the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) to assess the Company’s environmental performance during the period under review, and the results and environmental effects of the Company’s activities.

The Company holds three resource consents related to this report, which include a total of 28 conditions setting out the requirements that the Company must satisfy. The Company holds one consent to dredge accumulated sediments within Port Taranaki and two consents that allow them to discharge sediment into the inshore and offshore spoil disposal areas in the Tasman Sea.

During the monitoring period, Port Taranaki Limited demonstrated an overall high level of environmental performance.

The Council’s monitoring programme for the period under review included two intertidal surveys at four sites, and two kaimoana surveys at five sites.

The results of intertidal surveys did not indicate that the disposal of dredged material was having a significant impact on the abundance or diversity of intertidal species. Natural sand movement was likely to have a greater impact than from the disposal of sand from dredging.

Surveys at five locally important kaimoana beds showed that paua and kina counts over the last two surveys were lower than surveys undertaken between 2004 and 2009, being more comparable to pre-dredge counts. There was no significant evidence to indicate that the drop in counts were related to dredging activities as no major build up of sand on the reefs has been noted in association with the dredging campaigns by the Company.

During the period, the Company demonstrated a high level of environmental and administrative performance and compliance with the resource consents. During the period under review there were no unauthorised incidents associated with dredging undertaken by the Company.

This report includes recommendations for the 2014-2016 period.

Todd Energy – Mangahewa D Hydraulic Fracturing Programme Report 2011- 2014

This report for the period July 2011 to June 2014 outlines and discusses the results of the monitoring programme implemented by the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) in relation to the programme of hydraulic fracturing undertaken by Todd Energy Limited (Todd), within their Mangahewa-D wellsite. The reports also assess Todd’s level of

environmental performance and compliance with the resource consents held in relation to the activity.

Todd operate the Mangahewa-D wellsite, located at Rimutauteka Road, Inglewood. The wellsite lies within the Waitara catchment and contains a number of hydrocarbon producing wells and associated infrastructure.

Todd hold resource consent 7912-2, authorising the discharge of water based hydraulic fracturing fluids into land at depths greater than 3,325 m TVDss beneath the Mangahewa-D wellsite. This replaced resource consent 7912-1, which authorised the same activity. The three hydraulic fracturing events discussed in this report were carried out under consent 7912-1. The consents were issued by the Council on 9 September 2011 (7912-1) and 30 June 2014 (7912-2). Consent 7912-1 contained a total of 14 special conditions which set out the requirements that Todd must satisfy.

During the monitoring period being reported, Todd demonstrated a high level of environmental performance.

The programme of hydraulic fracturing undertaken by Todd at Mangahewa-D included the fracturing of three wells. The wells targeted for stimulation included Mangahewa-04, Mangahewa-07 and Mangahewa-16. The hydraulic fracturing of these wells took place between October 2011 and May 2014.

The programme of monitoring implemented by the Council in relation to these activities spanned the 2011-2012, 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 monitoring periods. The programme included the analysis of samples taken from groundwater sites both surrounding and within the wellsite. Samples of groundwater were obtained prior to hydraulic fracturing being undertaken to provide a baseline reference of groundwater composition, with a further round of sampling carried out post hydraulic fracturing for comparison with baseline results. The monitoring programme was not in place for the fracturing of Mangahewa-04 as it was not required by the consent in place at the time, but was implemented prior to the fracturing of the Mangahewa-07 and Mangahewa-16 wells.

Samples of both the hydraulic fracturing fluid and the formation fluids produced back to the wellhead immediately following the fracturing of the Mangahewa-07 and Mangahewa-16 wells were also obtained for analysis.

The monitoring programme also incorporated a surface water component, whereby biomonitoring surveys were undertaken in an unnamed tributary of the Manganui River. The unnamed tributary receives stormwater discharges from the Mangahewa-D wellsite. In order to provide a baseline reference for stream health, surveys were undertaken prior to hydraulic fracturing. Additional surveys were then carried out post hydraulic fracturing to determine whether the activity had resulted in any adverse effects on stream health. The biomonitoring of surface water bodies was only introduced as a standard component of hydraulic fracturing monitoring programmes in 2013, and therefore surveys were only carried out in relation to the fracturing of the Mangahewa-16 well.

The monitoring carried out by the Council indicates that the hydraulic fracturing activities undertaken by Todd had no significant adverse effects on local groundwater or surface water resources. There were no unauthorised incidents recording non-compliance in respect

of the resource consents held by Todd in relation to these activities, or provisions in regional plans, during the period under review.

Todd demonstrated a high level of environmental and good level of administrative performance and compliance with the resource consents over the reporting period.

For reference, in the 2012-2013 year, 35% of consent holders in Taranaki monitored through tailored compliance monitoring programmes achieved a high level of environmental performance and compliance with their consents, while another 59% demonstrated a good level of environmental performance and compliance with their consents. In the 2013-2014 year, 60% of consent holders achieved a high level of environmental performance and compliance with their consents, while another 29% demonstrated a good level of environmental performance and compliance.

This report includes recommendations for the 2014-2015 year.

Note: This report relates specifically to the Council’s monitoring of hydraulic fracturing activities at the Mangahewa-D wellsite over the 2011-2014 period. A separate monitoring report has been prepared by the Council in relation to the monitoring of general activities at the Mangahewa-D wellsite.

Greymouth Petroleum Limited – Ngatoro E monitoring programme report 2012- 2014

Greymouth Petroleum Limited (GPL) re-entered an established wellsite located on Dudley Road, Inglewood, within the New Plymouth district, in the Waitara catchment. The site is called Ngatoro-E wellsite. This report for the period November 2012–December 2014 describes the monitoring of GPL’s environmental performance during the period under review, and the results and environmental effects of the GPL’s activities. During this period, the wellsite was re-entered with one well drilled, tested and hydraulically fractured (Ngatoro-17).

GPL holds six resource consents for the activities at the Ngatoro-E wellsite, which include a total of 97 consent conditions setting out the requirements that they must satisfy. GPL holds consent 7067-1 to take groundwater; consent 4069-4 to discharge emissions to air from hydrocarbon exploration; consent 4067-2 to discharge treated stormwater from hydrocarbon exploration and production activities on and into land where it may enter an unnamed tributary of the Ngatoroiti Stream; consent 9744-1 to discharge contaminants associated with hydraulic fracturing activities into land; consent 7068-1 to discharge waste drilling fluids and produced water into land by deepwell injection; and consent 7069-1 to discharge drilling muds, cuttings and wastes from hydrocarbon exploration via mix-bury cover (not exercised during the monitoring period under review).

During the monitoring period, Greymouth Petroleum Limited demonstrated an overall high level of environmental performance.

Taranaki Regional Council’s (the Council) monitoring programme for the period under review included 28 inspections of the site and surrounding environment (at approximately fortnightly intervals), 14 stormwater samples, seven surface water samples, two groundwater samples, one hydraulic fracture fluid sample and one return fracture fluid sample were obtained for

analysis. Furthermore, biomonitoring surveys were performed prior to the commencement of drilling activities, and following their completion at the Ngatoro-E wellsite.

The monitoring showed that the site was generally neat, tidy and well maintained, although silt and sediment controls were required during the drilling campaign to reduce the concentration of suspended solids. Site staff were cooperative with requests made by officers of the Council to install liners in the skimmer pits, improve sediment controls, and address the increased chloride concentrations in the discharge. These works were completed to a satisfactory standard.

GPL notified the Council of its intention to combust gas intermittently on 1 October 2014, 30 October 2014, and 26 November 2014. Following these dates, gas combustion occurred intermittently over the course of a few days in conjunction with well testing.

Document: 1516426

Purpose The purpose of this memorandum is to allow the Council to consider and receive the summary of the Incident Register for the period 7 April 2015 to 22 May 2015.

Executive summary There are 75 incidents reported.

41 of the incidents were found to be compliant and 25 were found to be non-compliant. Nine of the incidents reported relate to non-compliance from previous periods (updates). The action taken is set out for Members information.

There is one non-compliant incident reported as a result of the 2014/2015 annual dairy inspection round. The 2014/2015 annual dairy inspection round is now completed.

Recommendations That the Taranaki Regional Council: 1. receives this memorandum 2. receives the summary of the Incident Register for the period from 7 April 2015 to 22 May 2015 and adopts the recommendations therein.

Background The Council receives and responds to pollution events and public complaints throughout the year. Compliance monitoring undertaken can also identify non-compliance. This information is recorded in the Incident Register together with the results of investigations and any follow-up actions. Incidents are publicly reported to the Council through the

Consents and Regulatory Committee via the Incident Register or the Annual Compliance Monitoring Reports.

Attached is the summary of the Incident Register for the period from 7 April 2015 to 22 May 2015.

Change of Format to Increase Understanding The incident register information presentation has been recently reviewed to increase reader understanding. The first section addresses compliant incidents and can be publically discussed. The second section provides an update on non-complaint incidents from previous meetings and where an incident has been resolved it can be publically discussed. The third section provides information on non-compliant incidents during the period that are still under investigation and staff are limited in terms of public disclosure of information while the investigation is ongoing and enforcement responses have not been determined. The incident register flow chart and definition of terms provide further detail.

Discussion Council responds to all complaints received with most complaints responded to within four hours. Responses to complaints and non-compliances with rules in the Council’s regional plans, resource consents and the Resource Management Act 1991 are recorded in the Incident Register. Where necessary, appropriate advisory or enforcement actions are implemented. The latter may include issuing an inspection, abatement or infringement notice, or initiating a prosecution. Where an infringement notice or prosecution is possible, details of the incident in the Incident Register and staff comment will be restricted for legal reasons. Further information will be provided at a later date to the Council and for prosecutions a detailed report will be provided, in the confidential section of the agenda.

A summary of incidents for the period 7 April 2015 to 22 May 2015 is attached. The ‘compliant’ incidents are presented first in a table and the ‘non-compliant’ incidents are presented after in a more detailed summary.

A series of graphs are also attached comparing the tracking of the number of incidents between 2013-2014 and 2014-2013, also showing how the incidents are tracking in 2014-2015 in relation to resource type and compliance status. There is also a graphs showing enforcement action taken to date during 2014-2015.

Legal considerations This memorandum and the associated recommendations comply with the appropriate statutory requirements imposed upon the Council.

Agenda Memorandum

Date 9 June 2015

Memorandum to Chairperson and Members Consents and Regulatory Committee

Subject: Enforcement Order granted - FJ Mullan

Item: 5

Approved by: A D McLay, Director Environment Quality

B G Chamberlain, Chief Executive

Document: 1515225

Purpose The purpose of this memorandum is to update Members on the application for enforcement order for FJ Mullan. The Council applied for an enforcement order for all of Mr Mullan’s dairy farms at the time of sentencing for his latest prosecution.

Background

At sentencing, on 27 January 2015, an application for an enforcement order was made. Mr Mullan had been found guilty of two charges laid under the Resource Management Act 1991, for the discharge of dairy effluent onto and into land where it was likely to entered water between February and March 2013. Mr Mullan was fined $33,000 for each of the two charges ($66,000 total).

Mr Mullan has a long non-compliance history on the majority of his seven dairy farms owned or in which he has a proprietorial interest for which enforcement under the Resource Management Act 1991 has been necessary. The enforcement has included four prosecutions, 2 infringement notices, and 11 abatement notices.

Enforcement application update

The application for the enforcement order was necessary because of a poor attitude to consent compliance as shown by his non-compliance history.

Judge Thompson initially queried the scope of the enforcement order as it included all seven dairy farm properties. He required further information about each property to warrant the issuing of the enforcement order which was subsequently supplied.

Mr Mullan’s counsel agreed to the enforcement order being issued for all farms.

The enforcement order was granted on 21 May 2015 and is attached to this memorandum.

The enforcement order is the first to be issued in New Zealand for multiple dairy farms and establishes important case law for regional councils.

Enforcement order granted

In summary the enforcement order requires: • A written compliance and contingency plan to be prepared and presented to the Council by 30 June 2015. The plan will include the methodology to ensure adherence to resource consent conditions, induction processes for new staff and existing staff, and procedures for notification of non-compliance; and • Mr Mullan will arrange monitoring of dairy effluent disposal systems. The first round of monitoring is to occur by 15 July 2015, with reports on monitoring results to be supplied to this Council within 7 days of the monitoring being undertaken.

The monitoring is in addition to that this Council will undertake. Recommendations That the Taranaki Regional Council: 1. receives this report 2. notes the successful outcome of the enforcement order application 3. acknowledges the Council’s involvement in establishing important case law under the Resource Management Act.

Legal considerations This memorandum and the associated recommendations comply with the appropriate statutory requirements imposed upon the Council.
