Company plans to make further upgrades to the stormwater system with the goal of further improving
discharge quality. Water take and discharge rates are now being telemetered to the Council, but a review of
the placement of the flowmeters is still required. The groundwater monitoring bores have been installed
and monitoring will begin in the forthcoming year.
For reference, in the 2020-2021 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of

(3%) of consents monitored required improvement
in their performance, while the remaining one (< 1%) achieved a rating of poor.
In terms of overall environmental and compliance performance by the consent holders over the last several
years, this report shows that, with the exception of Port Taranaki, the performances of the port industries
have remained at a high level. Port Taranaki’s performance has improved compared to last monitoring year.
This report includes recommendations for the
physico-chemical analysis. A hydrometric station is
maintained on the stream for the continuous measurement of flow rate and temperature.
During the monitoring period, Silver Fern Farms Ltd demonstrated a high level of environmental
performance and good level of administrative performance.
Silver Fern Farms Ltd holds six resource consents, to allow it to maintain a dam and to take water from the
Tawhiti Stream; to discharge to the stream and to land; and to discharge emissions into the air.

levels. This had been addressed through extension of the irrigation disposal
system in 2007-2008, and by more intensive wastewater and groundwater monitoring. During the year
under review, there was a higher nitrogen load applied to the paddocks than in the 2017-2020 years. The
nitrogen application rates increased by about 14% on Farm 1 and 20% on Farms 2 and 3 in the 2019-2020
year, with further increases of 10% on Farm 1, 4% on Farm 2, and 18% on Farm 3 during the year under
review. On Farm 3,
