renewed during the review period, and one consent to discharge emissions into the air at the
plant site.
Monitoring is carried out by both the Company and the Council. The Company monitors water abstraction
rate, effluent flow rate and composition, receiving water quality, odour at the plant boundaries, effluent
loadings and soil and herbage for irrigation areas. The Council undertakes inspections of the plant site and
irrigation areas. Monitoring includes effluent quality checks and
may be required to neutralise this risk. The specific
measures required will depend on the circumstances.

3 Methods
A questionnaire was developed to elicit people’s involvement with reducing rat numbers,
and their involvement with, and attitude towards trapping rats. Involvement was measured
using a condensed version of the Laurent and Kapferer (1985) involvement scale
developed by Kaine (2019) with respondents rating two statements on
to
plantings and the environment, while
maximising weed control.
GROUND PREPARATION
(pre-plant spraying)
Clear away all grass and weed competition
before planting. Rank vegetation can be
spot-sprayed with a knock-down herbicide
containing the active ingredient glyphosate
eg. Roundup G2. Glyphosate has low
toxicity to wildlife and soil organisms, and
breaks down fast. Spray three or preferably
four weeks before plants go in. Use
Roundup at a rate of 10 ml per litre of
water (for
consents.
Surface water abstraction was compliant with daily rate and volume. Process water discharges were
compliant with consent defined parameters. Surface water monitoring indicated negligible impacts from the
discharge of process waters. The thermal tolerances within the receiving waters were not exceeded for the
duration of the monitoring period.
Emissions monitoring results from the Taranaki Combined Cycle (TCC) were within consent defined
specifications for the full duration of the

Silver Fern Farms Ltd (meat processing plant) demonstrated an overall good level of environmental
performance.
Silver Fern Farms Ltd holds six resource consents, to allow it to maintain a dam in and to take water from
the Tawhiti Stream; to discharge to the stream and to land; and to discharge emissions into the air.

Significant matters
No rates change: The Council is budgeting for no change in general rates for the 2020/2021
financial year, rather than 3.8% as originally considered). “With the disruption caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic uppermost in mind, we’ve carefully tuned and trimmed our spending
and programmes while keeping any impacts to an absolute minimum,” says
