from 42% to above 70%. Notwithstanding
that while NIWA confirms a definite reduction in E coli levels, the rate of compliance
with NPS-FM targets has not changed over the same period5 due at least in part to the
reality that peak concentrations of E. coli at peak flows are not reduced by such riparian
interventions. Taking the above into account, regional gains in swimmability of some
20-25% in relative terms, from a current 39% (as modelled) to about 50%, is considered

Administrative performance is concerned with the Company’s approach to

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.

State of the environment monitoring confirms that Taranaki has high overall air quality and that the RAQP is on track to
meet its objectives (environmental outcomes).
State of the environment and compliance monitoring programmes show that Taranaki’s air quality is tracking well and is
rated ‘good’ to ‘excellent’ according to MfE environmental performance indicators.
