in redox
conditions occurred within the aquifer over this period. While the exact cause of this
change remains unclear, it may be related to changes in abstraction rates from the
bore over the corresponding period. The concentrations of all analytes had returned
to ‘typical’ values for this site by the end of the monitoring period.
The trends identified at shallow sampling sites appear to be driven by a wider range
of processes than those at deeper sites. At site GND0827, the
observations of the experts. Importantly, there are fundamental changes
proposed to the poultry farm operations, which will reduce the impacts of the air
discharges applied for in this Application, including2:
(a) the discharge consent is sought for a free-range broiler operation with a
reduced stocked rate of a maximum of 15 birds per square metre (61, 020
birds);
(b) roof fans with misting devices will be installed on the roof of the existing
sheds (and will be at least 100m from the
freshwater quality in these other places, but their
issues are not the same as those in Taranaki.
Using the industry-standard nutrient budgeting
model ‘Overseer’ to impose nutrient caps could
impose very high costs on the dairy industry in
Taranaki, to the detriment of the regional and
national economies. And the clear environmental
benefits would be uncertain and at present
unknowable. The inaccuracy rate for Overseer in
Taranaki is significantly higher than

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
assessment by supplementing the
limited monitoring data. In 2016, MfE commissioned a report to estimate the state of freshwaters in New
Zealand from a human health perspective (Snelder et al. 2016). Monitored water quality variables were
combined with catchment and land-use data to estimate water quality for all lakes in New Zealand, which
was subsequently used to make predictions of cyanobacterial biovolumes for all lakes. The spatial water
quality attribute models were rated to have satisfactory

or the rate ratio for Poisson regression. For both regression types, the strength is
calculated by exponentiating the regression coefficient, where values less than 1 indicate a
decreasing temporal trend, values equal to 1 indicate no change, and values greater than
1 indicate an increasing temporal trend. Finally, given the large number of analyses
performed, we make inferences mainly for those species for which we obtained a
significant temporal trend.
