Rule 52 covers “Existing poultry farming processes” whereas AFT (and Tonkin and Taylor) clearly
water level and flow of the Ngatoro Stream at SH3. By using a correlation between these two sites, a calculated flow can be estimated for the ‘Bushline.

discharge points to the stream were observed, with no effects evident in the stream as a result of stormwater discharging offsite.
