The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring 1.1.3.
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
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 or terrestrial;
d. natural and physical resources having special significance (for example

c.
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 boundary during inspections and there were no complaints
in relation to air emissions from the site.
During the year, the Company demonstrated an overall high level of both environmental performance and
administrative compliance with the resource consents. There were no unauthorised incidents recorded by
