VEGETATION
Remember the importance of post-planting
maintenance, if planting riparian margins.
Release-weeding and pest control ensure
good establishment. Silviculture helps
prevent trees from falling into channels,
avoids suppression of ground cover by
lower branches, and ensures good growth
form for timber production. Where banks
are control-grazed, good stock
management is essential to maintain
pasture composition and density. It also
helps suppress weeds. The Council’s
information sheet
application falls under Rule 52 of the RAQP. Rule 52
covers “Existing poultry farming processes” whereas AFT (and Tonkin and Taylor) clearly

emphasis added). According to the RAQP this would make the Application subject to Rule 54.

in Section 14.
Sufficient volumes of water within streams and rivers to protect aquatic habitat is a
primary concern of the Regional Council with respect to water abstraction permits.
Water abstraction for quarries is primarily only required for the washing of aggregate,
and in this regard the Council encourages the recycling of both washwater and
stormwater to

stormwater discharging offsite.
A new flare stack had been installed to flare natural gas venting from the hydrocarbon storage tanks. The
separation equipment was all functional and operating as required. The pilot flares were clean burning with
no sign of smoke.

Mana Whakahono a Rohe decisions – These decisions are not in
the scope of this committee and fall under the full Council.
Review of Delegated Authority Manual – This will be discussed
at the Māori relationships going forward workshop as there was
confusion as to whether the request referred to the Delegations
Manual or the Committee Terms of Reference. It was noted that a

effective under the new operation. In terms
of equipment that AFT have to mitigate effects of odour and dust, these are all based on
having birds contained within a negative pressure maintained enclosed space.

omission to conclude that the consent application falls under Rule 52 of the RAQP. Rule 52

The inspection was conducted during light showers, with 47.5 mm of rain recorded
over the previous few days at the New Plymouth Wastewater Treatment Plant
(NPWWTP). Some pollen was present on the surface of SV8000, otherwise the ponds
were relatively clear.
The incinerator was in the process of starting up after a blocked liquids nozzle had
been cleaned. Recent
