9.6.4 Recommendations from the 2005-<strong>2006</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Report<br />
In the 2005-<strong>2006</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> Report, it was recommended:<br />
1. THAT monitoring of discharges from Ballance Agri-Nutrients Limited in the<br />
<strong>2006</strong>-<strong>2007</strong> year continue at the same level as in 2005-<strong>2006</strong>.<br />
These recommendations were implemented in the <strong>2006</strong>-<strong>2007</strong> monitoring year.<br />
9.6.5 Alterations to monitoring programmes for <strong>2007</strong>-2008<br />
In designing and implementing the monitoring programmes for air/water<br />
discharges in the region, the <strong>Taranaki</strong> <strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Council</strong> has taken into account the<br />
extent of information made available by previous authorities, its relevance under the<br />
Resource Management Act, the obligations of the Act in terms of monitoring<br />
emissions/discharges and effects, and subsequently <strong>report</strong>ing to the regional<br />
community, the scope of assessments required at the time of renewal of permits, and<br />
the need to maintain a sound understanding of industrial processes within <strong>Taranaki</strong><br />
emitting to the atmosphere/discharging to the environment.<br />
In the case of Ballance Agri-Nutrients Limited, the programme for <strong>2006</strong>-<strong>2007</strong> was<br />
unchanged from 2005-<strong>2006</strong>. It is now proposed that for <strong>2007</strong>-2008, a similar level of<br />
monitoring is maintained (one inspection per year). A recommendation to this effect<br />
is attached to this <strong>report</strong>.<br />
9.6.6 Exercise of optional review of consent<br />
There are no consents held by the Company that allow for an optional review of<br />
consent in June 2008.<br />
9.7 Recommendations<br />
