Management Act 1991 (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 wider community around a discharger, and may
include cultural and socio-economic effects;
(b) physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual effects;
(c) ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or habitats, whether aquatic
environment resulting from the exercise of the air
discharge consents. The ambient air quality monitoring at the Kapuni Production Station
showed that levels of carbon monoxide, combustible 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 boundaries during inspections and there were no
complaints in relation to air emissions from the sites.

continuous basis for 24 hours, every three days, and determination of the average
concentration of PM10 in air sampled during that period.
The Council also undertook, as a further stage of investigation, analysis of 6 filters
used during the monitoring, to confirm the likely origins of suspended particulate
matter collected during each sampling period.
The monitoring showed that overall, 80% of samples fell into the Ministry's 'excellent'
or 'good' categories, and all results met the
total of 26 resource consents, which include conditions setting out the
requirements that they must satisfy. Fonterra holds four consents to allow it to take and use
water and for associated structures, eight consents to discharge stormwater, sediment, and
back flushing from sand filters (and their associated structures) into the unnamed tributaries of
the Tangahoe, Tawhiti and an unnamed coastal stream, or to land where it may enter water,

1.2 The Resource Management Act (1991) and monitoring
The Resource Management Act 1991 (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 wider community around an activity, and may
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 wider community around an activity, and may include
cultural and social-economic effects;
(b) physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual effects;
(c) ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or habitats, whether aquatic or
terrestrial;
(d) natural and physical resources having
data.
Section 3 discusses the results, their interpretations, and their significance for the environment.
Section 4 presents recommendations to be implemented in the 2018-2019 monitoring year.
