The volume of wastewater discharged from the site complied with conditions of consent
1450. Monitoring of the wastewater by the consent holder showed that water quality of the
discharges was compliant with consent conditions for COD and fat concentration. There
were four exceedances of suspended solids consent limits all associated with extreme
