an exceedance of the suspended solids limit on the Company’s stormwater discharge consent. During the year, TBS Coatings Limited demonstrated a good level of environmental and high level of administrative performance with the resource consents. One dust complaint was received, but this was not substantiated at the time of investigation. However, an exceedance of the dust deposition rate was observed in one of the five gauges deployed, which was likely to be a result of re-suspended yard
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. 16 Mr Van Kekam6 has quoted his experience with the use air dispersion modelling to determine the peak off-site 1-hour average 99.5%ile odour concentrations (expressed as odour units per cubic metre of air
been an increase in the amount and rate of stream modification. The Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) and the wider community recognise the positive consequences of modifying small streams and that in some circumstances their modification may be appropriate. However, it is also recognised that small stream modification may result in significant adverse effects upon instream habitat and/or on other users and uses of freshwater, and that these effects should be avoided, remedied or
or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14. The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49 of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as the rate and daily volume of the groundwater abstraction may have exceeded that of the permitted activity (Rule 48). Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject to two conditions: • The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10% lowering of
the farm or over sensitised neighbours. 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
and recorded a peak of 15.192m. The estimated return period at Riminui was a 1-in- 37 year event. However this was based only on stage, and not corrected for flow or changes within the river system. The channel clearing works may have increased the rate of flow and at the same time, normal continuous river bank erosion worked to slow it down. 7.2.1.1 River level data The topography of the Waitotara catchment makes it extremely difficult if not impossible to establish sites for river
Limited and five at New Zealand Oil Services Limited. Water samples were collected for physicochemical analysis on selected inspections. During the period under review, Port Taranaki Limited obtained a ‘good’ rating for environmental and administrative performance and compliance with the resource consents. There was one incident in relation to port maintenance and one breach of stormwater discharge limits which required further investigation. The environmental performance of Port Taranaki

of compliance by the consent holder during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating as to the consent holder’s environmental and administrative performance. Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment from the activities during the monitoring year. Administrative performance is concerned with the consent holder’s approach to demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely
