An application by Far South Farms Ltd to take groundwater and to discharge dairy shed effluent to land has been approved by Environment Southland.
Far South Farms applied for the amendment to increase herd numbers from 599 to 850 cows and to amend an extraction of groundwater from 71,880 litres per day to 102,000 litres.
The application was granted providing the conditions in the resource consent were adhered too and the effects of the farm dairy effluent discharge and water abstraction by themselves should be no more than minor.
Conditions were amended to allow the council's compliance division to inspect the property up to three times per year, for the first two years, and up to twice a year thereafter.
