Silver Fern Farms Ltd (meat processing plant) demonstrated an overall high level of environmental
performance.
The Company holds six resource consents, to allow it to maintain a dam in and to take from the Tawhiti
Stream; to discharge to the stream and to land; and to discharge emissions into the air.
During the period under review, there were no incidents reported in relation to activities at the site.
Abstraction volumes complied
around the poultry farm by Mr Whiting. All of the birds
had been removed from the sheds prior to our visit. The litter had been
cleaned out from sheds 3 and 4, but this had not been completed for the
other two sheds due to the high winds and rain. These sheds were
ventilated, but at a lower rate than during a growth cycle.
Installation of the DACS system was continuing, as discussed in the TRC
Supplementary Officer Report dated 11 February. Mr Whiting showed us
through shed 3, where most of

Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holders,
this report also assigns a rating as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance during
the period under review.

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by MASL, this report
also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period under
review.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment from the
activities during the monitoring year. Administrative performance is concerned with MASL’s approach to …
accordance with State of the
Environment monitoring requirements. The 2013-2014 programme continued to incorporate
these changes. A later consultant’s report (in 2000) re-confirmed trends (using up-dated
methodology) that the lake was phosphorus limited and remained mesotrophic. Further trend
reporting for the period 1990-2006 was provided as a component of the consents renewal
process and suggested that while there has been a very slow rate of increase in trophic level,
