of equipment that AFT have to mitigate effects of odour and dust, these are all based on
having birds contained within a negative pressure maintained enclosed space.
22. Likewise the TRC in its assessment of the Application appears to make a similar error of
omission to conclude that the consent application falls under Rule 52 of the RAQP. Rule 52
covers “Existing poultry farming processes” whereas AFT (and Tonkin and Taylor) clearly

accordance with permitted activities requirements.
This consent is required to manage the discharge of contaminants from the site as the stockholding area falls
within 50 m of a farm drain. The associated feedpad is going to be used throughout the winter period. This
will reduce nutrient runoff to waterways during winter as more effluent will be captured by the feedpad and
delivered to the effluent
found in summer
conditions (average of 3 units difference according to SEM data) due to lower flows, longer time between freshes, lower
dissolved oxygen, higher temperatures and more periphyton.

There are eight monitored quarries in Taranaki that hold a water abstraction consent. Four of these quarries
actively take water for use in quarry operations, the remaining four hold consents to take groundwater

below shows the projections released in 2002, versus the estimated population through to 2011
(labelled ‘revised estimate’). Statistics NZ’s medium projection was for the population to fall by 1,360
by 2011, when in fact it grew by 6,960.

indicate that the Application covers a conversion of an existing operation to free range (our

any rule based obligation to notify the
