Audit Points

• Effluent application records.

• Effluent training recorded on this template.

• No bores.

• Silage stack/pit locations if used - leachate can't make the river. 

• Culverts and crossings - Awamoko is defined as a 'wide river' by Stock Exclusion Regulations and therefore stock can be driven across under active supervision no more than twice a month.

• Offal pits located:

  • 1. a minimum of 100m from any wells that supply water for domestic drinking or livestock

    2. a minimum of 50m from any waterway, including lakes, streams, rivers, wetlands and groundwater

    3. a minimum of 50m from the closest property boundary

    4. in an area free from ponding, flooding, or erosion

    5. away from any areas used for offal pits within the past five years

    6. away from any areas of cultural, historical, or conservation significance

    7. Only dispose of dead animals and perishable household waste in your offal pit.

    8. Once the offal pit is filled to within a metre of the surface, backfill it with compacted earth and re-grass or plant a tree over it.

    9. Record the location of offal pits so that future owners can be informed.

    10. Try to minimise the amount of waste going to your offal pit. Dead stock can also be composted or collected for rendering.

  • Farm Landfills:

    1. Farm landfills must only contain material generated on the property.

    2. Do not dispose of any hazardous waste, such as unwanted agrichemicals, batteries, used oil, or treated timber in your farm landfill.

    3. Do not dispose of any sewage, animal effluent or offal in your farm landfill.

    4. Do not burn any material in your farm landfill – this can create toxic pollutants.

    5. The amount of material going to your farm landfill can be reduced by minimising the amount of waste generated on your farm. This could include recycling scrap metal, silage wrap, and empty agrichemical containers, and reusing materials where possible.

    6. Record the location of your farm landfills so that future owners can be informed.

    7. Sealach Waste Management policy.

• Effluent application and storage consent requirements:

  • 1. Discharge consents to be applied for.

    2. Storage is a permitted activity with drop test, DESC, and visual inspection completed. New effluent management plan in progress for discharge consent application.

• Monitoring for certified freshwater farm plan.

  • 1. Awaiting certification regime.

    2. Presently using Farm Environment Plan to meet NOIC requirements. Ongoing development with Effluent and Winter Grazing plans updated.

• Consent obtained for Intensive Winter Grazing pending FWFP implementation.
