subjected to a number of biological processes, including take up by plants.
By ensuring the irrigation rate and volume is well managed, these
processes ensure environmental effects are minimised.
23. The irrigation blocks could be better described as a land treatment system
where the nutrients in the irrigation fluid are subjected to a number of

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.

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 Company’s
approach to demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely
