gases, PM10 particulates, and nitrogen oxides were all below levels of concern at the time of sampling. No
offensive or objectionable odours were detected beyond the boundary during inspections.
During the year, the Company demonstrated a high level of both environmental performance and
administrative compliance with the resource consents.
