groundwater from an on-site production bore, at a rate not exceeding 10 litres per second. This
consent was amended to 7470-1.1 on 10 June 2014, where the
This is principally because, based on the
descriptions of the heating and ventilation systems, in my opinion, odour emission
rates will be lower and have the potential to be considerably lower than the
standard emission rate factors used for modelling odour from the chicken sheds.
38 In my view, the odour dispersion modelling results can also be calibrated using the
knowledge of complaints, compliance, and onsite odour observations, which
indicate a generally low level of

Silver Fern Farms Ltd holds six resource consents, to allow it to maintain a dam in and to take water from
the Tawhiti Stream; to discharge to the stream and to land; and to discharge emissions into the air.

production bore, at a rate not exceeding 10 litres per second. Groundwater abstracted under
consent 7470-1 is primarily used for irrigation purposes. The
