particulates and nitrogen oxides were all below levels of concern at the
time of sampling. No offensive or objectionable odours were detected beyond the boundaries during
inspections. One complaint was received in relation to air emissions from the site, however it was not
considered that STL had breached resource consent conditions.
During the period under review, STL demonstrated an overall high level of both environmental performance
and administrative compliance with the resource consents. The
year under review included four inspections, four sets of water
samples collected for pesticide analysis, two biomonitoring surveys of receiving waters and an intertidal
marine inspection. The Company provided groundwater and air quality data from monitoring carried out by
independent consultants.
The monitoring showed that DAS has had no significant impact on air quality in the vicinity of the plant or
on water quality in the Herekawe Stream. No complaints in relation to DAS’s activities
