CRC100991 – to discharge contaminants to air from a milk processing factory located at the corner of Cooneys Road and State Highway 1, approximately 3 kilometres north of Glenavy, at or about map reference NZMS 260 J41: 5953- 8986. The discharge will be:
(a) products of combustion from a 15 megawatt coal-fired boiler discharging via a bag filter and 45 metre high stack;
(b) particulates from the production of milk powder discharged via a bag filter and 43 metre high stack;
(c) particulates from a packing plant via a bag filter with discharge at a height of three metres;
(d) odour from the treatment of wastewater; and
(e) aerosols from low pressure irrigation of wastewater.
CRC101000 – to discharge stormwater from roofs, roading and hardstand areas associated with a milk processing factory located at the corner of Cooneys Road and State Highway 1, approximately 3 kilometres north of Glenavy, at or about map reference NZMS 260 J41: 5953-8986. Stormwater will be discharged via soakage trenches or infiltration basins into land in circumstances that may result in contaminants entering groundwater. Contaminants may include suspended sediments, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, pathogenic microorganisms, and other organic contaminants.
CRC101001 – to discharge dairy factory wastewater and condensate from a milk processing factory located on the corner of Cooneys Road and State Highway 1, approximately 3 kilometres north of Glenavy, at or about map reference NZMS 260 J41: 5953-8986. Condensate will either be recycled, or be discharged onto approximately 70 hectares of land via spray irrigation after treatment in an aerated treatment pond, or be discharged into the Morven-Glenavy irrigation race after treatment in a wetland. The wastewater will be discharged onto approximately 70 hectares of land via spray irrigation after treatment by dissolved air flotation, an aerated treatment pond and wetland. The discharge to land may result in contaminants entering groundwater. The wastewater will comprise processing losses, wastes from factory cleaning and truck wash water. Contaminants may include pathogenic microorganisms, nutrients, suspended solids, dissolved salts, and may have a high oxygen demand.
CRC101096 – to discharge domestic wastewater from staff facilities associated with a milk processing factory located on the corner of Cooneys Road and State Highway 1, approximately 3 kilometres north of Glenavy, at or about map reference NZMS 260 J41: 5953-8986. The wastewater will be discharged to land, after treatment in an on-site aerated wastewater treatment plant, in circumstances that may result in contaminants in the wastewater entering groundwater. The total maximum volume of wastewater to be discharged will be 1000 litres per day. The contaminants in treated domestic wastewater are known to include microorganisms, organic material, nitrogen, phosphorus and heavy metals.
A duration of 35 years is sought for each of the above consents.
