proposed to the poultry farm operations, which will reduce the impacts of the air
discharges applied for in this Application, including2:
(a) the discharge consent is sought for a free-range broiler operation with a
reduced stocked rate of a maximum of 15 birds per square metre (61, 020
birds);
(b) roof fans with misting devices will be installed on the roof of the existing
sheds (and will be at least 100m from the

the region’s resources.
1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the consent holder/s
during the period under review, this report also assigns a rating as to each consent holder’s environmental
and administrative performance.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment from the

representation of inland inundation from tsunami based waves. The application is as
follows:
For a given shoreline wave height, the wave height was added to a mid tide value (in
this case 2 m), then the following attenuation rules were applied:
The potential runup height attenuates at a rate of 1 m for every 200 m
horizontal inland for flow direct from the coast.

stormwater to minimise the requirement to abstract surface water.
Often when combined with efficient recycling, the small volumes of surface water
required to be abstracted for washing at quarries fit within the permitted activity rule
[Rule 15] of the Regional Fresh Water Plan for Taranaki. That is, the abstraction
volume shall not exceed 50 cubic metres per day, and the abstraction rate shall not
exceed 1.5 litres per second.

managed by setting environmental

then be set on the rate and amount

Water quality has been relatively stable at the Waitara River site compared with
national trends and, not surprisingly, water quality remains high at the upper/mid
