introduced to the litter resulting in greater chance of odours; and (iii) It has less wear on the building as the air is balanced and seals are not put under pressure continuously; (i) Water consumption is alarmed, so that any irregularities in water usage is automatically flagged up to on duty staff; (j) Use of nipple drinkers to avoid water falling on litter. Constant monitoring of water usage to avoid leakage or overflow, and audits 4-5 times daily to detect
7-day period across all the recorded years. MALF is generally the minimum flow needed to maintain a catchment’s natural character and ecosystem health however, as this measurement is an ‘average’, flows do naturally fall below MALF during prolonged periods of dry weather or drought. Estimations of MALF are made using long term flow records but, if no records are available, it can also be estimated using records from hydrologically similar streams. When developing estimates of MALF, flow
to prevent drips from falling and the area below the hose was stained and contained hydrocarbon. Kauri-E: The ring drain was in need of redefining as some of the culverts were becoming blocked. An orange layer of sludge was noted in the ring drain. This appeared to be iron oxide that had discharged onto site from a neighbouring property. The pipe had since been disconnected. It was noted that a storage bund had sand in the base that smelled of hydrocarbon when disturbed. The consent …
certainty during the consenting process and will minimise disputes and reduce costs for the applicant and the Council. More effective as Plan users will have greater certainty around whether their activity falls inside/outside the coastal environment and the appropriate Policies to consider. More effective as each consent application will be addressed consistently and reduces variation between consents. There are no additional costs associated with this change. page 6
due to higher live weights in Friesian genetics-based herds. • Farm systems predominantly fall into System 2 and 3. • Supplements are used to a) boost production (PKE is major supplement) and b) allow resilience against summer dry period (PKE, maize silage, bought-in silage and summer crops). • Irrigation does not occur on farms. • Investment is taking place on some farms to upgrade effluent system to use nutrients. • Wetter and higher altitude areas (i.e. Egmont
public use can degrade the values associated with the site – little can or should be done to promote coastal public access. Six (or 21%) of the coastal areas of local or regional significance having poor public access fall within these two categories. • For the two remaining limiting factors, these being lack of formal access or poorly defined public access, more could be done to improve public access. Twenty-three (or 79%) of the coastal areas of local or regional significance having poor

before being pumped to a nearby reservoir. The water supply is reticulated to approximately 2,300 separate customers. Filter backwash is discharged via a large pond. The outlet from the pond is an inverted pipe located at the opposite end of the pond from the inlet. The discharge from the pond emerges from a pipe to fall over a small waterfall. At the base of the waterfall the discharged water runs down a natural cobbled channel beneath native riparian vegetation for approximately 10 metres
