There were no adverse effects on the environment resulting from the exercise of the air discharge consents.
The ambient air quality monitoring at the production station showed that levels of carbon monoxide,
combustible gases, PM10 particulates, nitrogen oxides and the volatile organic compounds benzene, toluene,
ethylbenzene and xylenes were all below levels of concern at the time of sampling. No offensive or
environment.

1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or
permanent, past, present or future, or cumulative. Effects may arise in relation to:
a. The neighbourhood or the
economic effects.
[6] Dr Fairgray's evidence is non-controversial, and there is no matching expert for any
party. To avoid unnecessary cost, RNZ proposes that if the Panel has any questions,
then Dr Fairgray can be joined by Microsoft Teams or answer any questions by email.
[7] Concerning air quality, the RNZ's expert witness is Andrew Curtis. For contaminant
management and loading, water quality, and effects on aquatic life, the relevant
technical experts are Messrs Kay and
into a high quality soil enhancer. The REVITAL
products improve and enhance the soil by providing not only 100% plant available
nutrients but also more importantly a high-density inoculation of beneficial soil
microbes which promotes soil sustainability.
1.2. The Greenwaste production process
1.2.1. Acceptance of incoming greenwatse
All green waste is collected at either a refuse transfer station or brought directly to

organisation’s activities or products or services that
can interact with the environment.

scientists estimate that Taranaki's temperature could be up to 3°C warmer over the
next 70-100 years. This compares to a temperature increase in New Zealand during last
century of about 0.7°C. Taranaki could be up to 20% wetter with more varied rainfall
patterns and flooding could become up to four times as frequent by 2070.
As extreme weather events become more frequent or severe, the costs and damages
associated with them are also likely to increase.

particulates, nitrogen oxides and the volatile organic compounds benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and
xylenes 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, GPL demonstrated a high level of both environmental performance and administrative
compliance with the resource consents.
