prevent leachate from entering surface waterbodies, groundwater or stockwater.
Site silage stacks so that overland flow of water from heavy rain cannot enter the stack.
Site feed areas away from waterways.
Distribute feed so as to minimise soil damage (from farm equipment and animals) and potential surface run-off to waterways, i.e. avoid Critical Source Areas.
Deer: Make sure silage is made at the optimum moisture content to reduce possible leaching, recommended at 30% dry matter or more.

The move to bulk cargo resulted in an increase in material deposited on the ground in the log and coal
storage areas. When it rains this material washes into the stormwater system, and discharges into the
harbour via the numerous piped outlets (Figure 2).
