pond system receiving minimal industrial waste loadings. No significant impacts on the Kaupokonui River
were recorded from the physicochemical parameters analysed during the mid-summer survey conducted in
February 2021, when a moderately high discharge rate of well-treated wastewater characterised this system.
No significant impacts of the effluent discharge were indicated by MCI scores through the reach of the river
surveyed.
During the year, STDC demonstrated a high level of
Council to continually re-evaluate its approach
and that of consent holders to resource management and, ultimately, through the refinement of methods
and considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the
region’s resources.
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
various details of the performance and extent of compliance by STDC, this report also
assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period under
review.
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 STDC’s approach to
demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely …
This is principally because, based on the
descriptions of the heating and ventilation systems, in my opinion, odour emission
rates will be lower and have the potential to be considerably lower than the
standard emission rate factors used for modelling odour from the chicken sheds.
38 In my view, the odour dispersion modelling results can also be calibrated using the
knowledge of complaints, compliance, and onsite odour observations, which
indicate a generally low level of
smell. During these
early weeks and when there are stronger winds the odour intensity is not
more than a 3 (distinct). But in the latter weeks of the cycle and when there
is slow air movement odour intensity can be up to a 4/5 (strong/very
strong). 2-3 times a year he would rate the odour at a 6 (extremely strong)
and this is generally observed as he is walking between the office and the
house.

rather than at his
rating as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance during
the period under review. The rating categories are high, good, improvement required and poor for both
environmental and administrative performance. The interpretations for these ratings are found in
Appendix II.
For reference, in the 2021-2022 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and compliance for 88% of the consents monitored through the Taranaki tailored
