loadings and soil and herbage for irrigation areas. The Council undertakes inspections of the plant site and
irrigation areas. Monitoring includes effluent quality checks and inter-laboratory comparisons, water quality,
air quality and biological monitoring.
The Council’s monitoring programmes for the period under review included four inspections, 52 groundwater
and 22 surface
on the stream for the continuous measurement of flow rate and temperature.
Silver Fern Farms Ltd (meat processing plant) demonstrated an overall high level of environmental
performance.
Silver Fern Farms Ltd holds six resource consents, to allow it to maintain a dam in and to take water from
the Tawhiti Stream; to discharge to the stream and to land; and to discharge emissions into the air.
During the period under review, there were no incidents reported in relation to activities

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holders,
this report also assigns a rating as to each Company’s environmental and
