The biomonitoring surveys in 2015-2016 did not find any detrimental impact on the river
caused by discharges from the meat plant to either land or water.
During the 2015-2016 monitoring period most of the total plant effluent was sprayed onto
grazed pasture. The irrigation period lasted 32 weeks, between 28 October 2015 and 6 July
2016, that included the low flow periods for the river. The limit on nitrogen loading was
complied with overall, though there

groundwater. This is in part a result of heavy applications of nitrogen (effluent) early in the life of the plant.
Current effluent application is considerably lower than previous application rates. However, nitrate
concentrations in the soil profile underneath the irrigation areas and in the tributaries flowing through or
adjacent to the site remain elevated.
