detrimental effects were found at the time of the November survey. At the time of the March
survey the results suggested poor preceding water quality that may be indicative of adverse effects
associated with the landfill leachate.
Air quality monitoring showed that there were no significant adverse effects in relation to suspended
particulates, dust deposition rates or odour beyond the site boundary.
An enclosed gas flare system was installed for air quality control during the 2017-2018

5 To ensure the running of the farm remains acceptable in the surrounding
environment (which has gradually developed at an increased density) and
any potential effects are at a minimum, AFTL proposes the following
changes with the transition to free range:
(a) Reduction of stocking rate to 15 birds/m2;
(b) Installation of new windbreaks and planting of
conditions mean that both the water
carrying capacity of air and ventilation rates are lower. In these conditions the
improved climate control will allow greater control of internal humidity and litter
moisture content.
Impact of shelter belt vegetation
38 Mr Backshall has noted the impact of shelter belt vegetation on air flow
39 I agree that the shelter belt vegetation is likely to reduce the speed of air flow at
ground level and potential modify its direction at times.

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 OMV’s approach to
demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the timely provision of

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 the consent holder’s
consent holders to resource management and, ultimately, through the refinement of methods
and considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the
region’s resources.
