Mr Pene has used the definition of a dwelling house in the Regional Air
Quality Plan for Taranaki (RAQPT) to define the area around a dwelling
(or curtilage) within which the occupants of that dwelling could reasonably
be adversely affected by odour discharged from the farm. Whilst I am not
opposed to using this as the basis for defining the area within which we
should consider the peak off-site effects, I consider that it may have been
difficult for Mr Pene to accurately
hazardous/dangerous and could pose Health and Safety
risks if inspections are undertaken without permission and supervision of
the submitter. They seek that clauses 10.1 and 10.2 be amended to
acknowledge that the Taranaki Regional Council has a duty as a Person
Conducting Business or Undertaking under the Health and Safety at Work
Act, in particular the duty to consult, coordinate and cooperate with other
Persons Conducting Business or Undertaking when undertaking its works.

• Chemical additives can poison the creatures that live
in a water body.
Even a very small quantity of pollutant, or just one
accidental discharge can drastically alter the quality of a
stream. Fish, insects and plant life can be killed and
their habitats destroyed. The stream can take many
years to recover.
You may think that your little bit of waste can’t harm
the environment but there are other people in the
region carrying out activities
during their breeding season, which is September
to December.
Create and protect open ponds and wetlands on your property.

CONSERVATION
The New Zealand dabchick is a
threatened species and is listed as
‘nationally vulnerable’. With its small
population and sparse distribution
numbers are likely to
differ.
What are the differences?
Retirement-fencing the entire length of banks and
revegetating them with native species -
management practices the Taranaki Regional
Council advocates for ringplain streams - would be
a major exercise on most hill country farms. They
are large and their terrain is dissected. So length of
streambank inside a farm’s boundary is much
greater than on a typical ringplain dairy farm. Cost
of fencing - let alone planting native vegetation
inside the fences - would simply

In the BioBlitz area, which are the goody native plants providing food for
deforestation and hydro-electric development in stretches of river
that support blue duck.
Set traps on your property to control predators where blue duck are
present.
Retire and plant river and streamside riparian vegetation to enhance and
maintain water quality.
