relation to the vegetation and habitats removed during the proposed KNF and MKY enhancements. Larger areas would be required if habitats were in very good condition and required very little rehabilitation, or if habitats were very degraded and their potential for successful rehabilitation was lower. Other options that TPL could consider as part of an off-set mitigation package include:
1. Revegetating the existing cleared corridor associated with the penstock above Kaniere Forks Power Station if this is decommissioned (0.343 ha); and/or
2. Negotiating a land swap with DOC, involving the parcel of land owned by TPL on the northern side of the Kaniere River at McKays Weir (0.4046 ha). This land parcel is surrounded by high value public conservation land supporting intact rimu-miro/kamahi forest. It is has been modified to some degree, but supports some secondary kahikatea forest on an alluvial landform.

10 Conclusion The enhanced Scheme is not anticipated to have any significant adverse effects on bird habitats or the bird communities of Lake Kaniere, or the Kaniere River. With regard to the proposed MKY HEPS enhancement, where construction works are within the existing HEPS footprint, the effects on vegetation communities and the habitats of terrestrial birds and fauna are minor. The removal, disturbance and fragmentation of vegetation communities and faunal habitats along the proposed new section of water race will have adverse effects on terrestrial ecological values. Mitigation (including off-set mitigation) is recommended to avoid, minimise and remedy the adverse effects of the proposed MKY enhancement. The proposed KNF HEPS enhancement will have short-term effects on terrestrial avifauna during construction as well as long-term effects relating to the loss of feeding, roosting and nesting habitat, habitat fragmentation and modification. As well as a number of potential short-term effects associated with construction works, the proposed enhancement will also result in the removal of 4.9 ha of ecologically valuable vegetation communities along the entire length of the construction envelope. This will have a number of significant adverse effects on terrestrial ecology values. A substantial mitigation package will be required to avoid, mitigate or remedy these effects. Off-set mitigation is recommended to mitigate the permanent loss of ecologically valuable vegetation communities and habitats within public conservation land. Details of a potential ‘mitigation package’ for the proposed MKY and KNF enhancements have not been finalised. Without this detail, it is difficult to assess whether the balance of the potential effects against the proposed mitigation will result in a net positive or negative environmental outcome. If the recommended mitigation is implemented and appropriate construction and post construction management plans are developed and adhered to, it is possible that there could be an overall environmental gain, particularly if there is strong ecological input into the development of both the mitigation package and management plans.
