1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the Company, this
report also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period
under review.

bio-bugs, the Manaia system had been upgraded with the addition of two wetlands, the
Kaponga pond subsurface discharge rate was very low and receiving water dilution very high,
and the Patea upgraded ponds system discharged continuously), or on other occasions when
monitoring of impacts was required by specific consent conditions. This monitoring continued

• We have used t-tests to determine whether two percentages are different from each other. With each t-test that is done, we incur a probability of a Type I error (rejection of a true
null hypothesis or in other words ‘false positive’). The probability of committing a Type I error is the significance level of the test, which is set to 5%. When doing multiple tests, the
Type I error rate is inflated. We have used the false discovery rate (FDR) method to control the expected proportion

The majority of complaints have occurred whilst the sheds are stocked or
there is spent litter still in the sheds. From a cursory review of the data, it
appears complaints are occurring primarily towards the end of the
batch/bird cycle. This is consistent with published/calculated odour
emission rates from broiler operations which increase as the birds grow in
age/mass.
1.24 In Mr Whiting’s A3 spreadsheet he has compared the
ventilation at reducing odour emission
rates by optimising ventilation, resulting in lower flowrates and a lower efflux of
odour, also commensurate with lower ammonia levels as demonstrated by the
chicken feet pad numbers as achieved at Midhurst and as described by Mr Whiting.

The computer controller will not allow the cremator to be charged unless the
temperature in the secondary chamber reaches 650°C and a two-second residence time
is achieved. Data on residence time, emission levels, furnace pressure and rates of
temperature change are used to continuously check and adjust controls to ensure
maximum efficiency.

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative 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 administrative performance during
the period under review. The rating categories are high, good, improvement
magmatic fluids in a volcano. Changes in
the amount or rate of ground deformation may signal the start of a new eruptive episode.
There are numerous ways to measure such deformation, like precise levelling, tilt
measurement and position triangulation. Continuous Global Positioning System (CGPS)
measurements provide time-series, high precision data for deformation monitoring. Satellite-
based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is a relatively new technique for
measuring ground
