chronic odour effects beyond the
boundary of the site. I agree with the other experts and Council that off-
site odour concentrations will decrease as compared with historic
operations, due to the proposed farm upgrades and conversion to free
range, as such I consider that future acute off-site effects are unlikely.
However, I am uncertain as to whether or not the farm changes will
sufficiently reduce observable off-site odour to below the level of detection
or low enough that it would be acceptable

including upgrading the fish pass, undertaking monitoring of the erosion of the river bed and
banks around the scheme, and monitoring of the effects of the scheme on the residual flow
reach. This includes no or inadequate baseline information being collected on the trout
communities and recreational activities of the residual flow reach, despite the scheme now
being operated whenever flows allow. Of most concern, was the provision of false data. In this
case, the Company had
Stream.
There were no adverse effects on the environment resulting from the exercise of the air
discharge consent. The ambient air quality monitoring at the site 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 boundary during inspections and there were no complaints in relation to odours or smoke
from the site.

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act (1991) and monitoring
The Resource Management Act 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,

We reserve the right, but are under no obligation, to revise or amend our report if any additional
information (particularly regarding the assumptions we have relied upon) which exists on the
date of our report but was not drawn to our attention during its preparation, subsequently comes
to light.

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act 1991 and monitoring
The RMA primarily addresses environmental ‘effects’ which are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or

conditions of the applicable resource consents. There is no evidence of any issues with any injection well
currently in use, or the ability of the receiving formation to accept injected fluids. The results of
groundwater quality monitoring undertaken show no adverse effects of the activity at monitored locations.
Inspections undertaken during the monitoring year found sites being operated in a professional manner
and there were no Unauthorised Incidents in relation to any of the
report.

The monitoring showed that activities at the Eltham WWTP were well managed. There were no issues with
operation of the plant or odour associated with plant processes. The level of the primary pond was well
managed by the diversion pumping system to Hawera, and the holding pond was not required to be used
as short-term storage. As a result of this, no consented overflows to the unnamed tributary of the
Mangawhero Stream were
