2.3.2 Results
2.3.2.1 Inspections
Three routine inspections were conducted at the site during the monitoring period, on 5 August 2020,
2 February 2021, and 10 May 2021.
5 August 2020
An inspection was carried out in fine weather with calm wind conditions. All above ground hazardous
storage areas were well bunded, with some ponding noted at low points in the largest
site and its surrounds does not exist.
Such a situation could result in a stranded asset that no longer has
consent to operate as a poultry farm, but cannot be redeveloped due to a
lack of urban infrastructure.
(c) It would provide the consent holder with a reasonable period of time to
wind down operations from the date that the expected future rezoning is
anticipated to become operative.

period). During this time there were light winds from the north and north-
northwest and odour was not being propagated in the direction of the Hibell
property to the west-southwest. This was the case when I left at approximately
4:45pm.
13 I have tabulated 1-hour average weather observation data from the New Plymouth
AWS weather station for 24 January 2020. This indicates that there was a change
in overlying wind flows from the north and northwest to the northeast between 5pm
ground level a little over 100 m from a
balcony of this height, it is intuitive that odour will be smelt at this receptor
location.
1.20 I am supportive of the proposed draft consent condition regarding
restricting shed clean outs to prescribed wind conditions on the basis of
the evidence provided by Mr Pene (if consent is granted).
1.21 I have briefly reviewed the odour diary and meteorology data analysis
undertaken by Mr Whiting. I have a few areas of concern.

Enterolert method (APHA, 9230 D 23rd ed. 2017) for follow up sampling. Specific conductivity was also
measured at the laboratory using a conductivity meter (APHA, 2510 B 23rd ed. 2017).
At each of the sites the following additional information was recorded: time, water temperature, weather
condition, wind condition, surf condition, colour/appearance of water, and number of bathers and other
users.

Site visit on 14 February
I visited the poultry farm and neighbouring properties between 3:45 and
6:30 PM on 14 February. Mr Donovan accompanied me to the poultry farm
and 46 Airport Drive.
The weather was fine with the wind from the south. Average wind speeds
measured at the airport AWS were from 31 to 33 km/h, and air
temperatures were 19 - 20 degrees C. Wind speeds appeared lower than
this at all three properties.

compliance with resource consent conditions was carried out in cloudy weather with
light wind conditions. The site was relatively clean and dry. The eastern loading doors were open and a small
amount of palm kernel was visible inside the shed. No dust and only minimal onsite odours were noted
emitting the building. A small amount of unknown liquid had spilled onto the sealed yard near the northern
entrance. This was dry and not discharging to the drains, however it was advised that this would need to
infrastructure impacts from a tsunami
scenario with a 6m wave height were
assessed. Port Taranaki is also vulnerable to
this hazard, along with low lying coastal
bridges and roads.
Severe weather events with high winds and
heavy rain are not uncommon, with Cyclone
Gita in early 2018 being the most recent
significant event. The electricity network
(winds) and road network (slips) are most
vulnerable but, as seen in Cyclone Gita,
there are consequential
