ventilation at reducing odour emission rates by optimising ventilation, resulting in lower flowrates and a lower efflux of odour, also commensurate with lower ammonia levels as demonstrated by the chicken feet pad numbers as achieved at Midhurst and as described by Mr Whiting. 16 Mr Van Kekam6 has quoted his experience with the use air dispersion modelling to determine the peak off-site 1-hour average 99.5%ile odour concentrations (expressed as odour units per cubic metre of air
noted that this trend analysis is by its nature assessing trends in the percentage cover of periphyton when surveyed under conditions most conducive to the greatest proliferation, rather than in periphyton all year round. Trend analyses for periphyton were performed by applying a LOWESS fit to a time scatterplot of the percentage cover for thick mats and long filaments of periphyton. Next, the Mann-Kendall analyses test followed by Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) analyses were
(KiwiRAP). KiwiRAP provides a consistent assessment of the infrastructure safety level of New Zealand roads. SH3 between New Plymouth and Waitara has a KiwiRAP rating of 2-stars. This indicates the road has limited infrastructure safety including low shoulder width, and fails to achieve the level of service required for a Regional road. This is likely to pose further safety risk for cyclists and walkers. Figure 6 displays regional KiwiRAP ratings for comparison. Figure 6: KiwiRAP
the farm or over sensitised neighbours. The majority of complaints have occurred whilst the sheds are stocked or there is spent litter still in the sheds. From a cursory review of the data, it appears complaints are occurring primarily towards the end of the batch/bird cycle. This is consistent with published/calculated odour emission rates from broiler operations which increase as the birds grow in age/mass. 1.24 In Mr Whiting’s A3 spreadsheet he has compared the

habitat loss or the impact of invasive plants and animals. Habitat loss (through land clearance and drainage) has historically been the main pressure on biodiversity. While the rate of land clearance and drainage has declined in recent times, the ongoing loss and modification of remnant habitats remains an issue, particularly on privately owned land in Taranaki. Even small losses of habitat can now have a disproportionate impact on remaining biodiversity – not only in terms of
