Despite withdrawing his support for Bioplant’s proposal to build a pyrolysis plant in Feilding, Andrew Curtis has signed off on two air quality assessment reports for SIRRL’s Waimate incinerator proposal. However, the proposal has faced challenges. The first resource consent application, which included an air quality report provided by Tara Hutchins from Paddle Delamore Partners (PDP) and reviewed by Andrew Curtis, was returned due to a lack of information, including emissions to air. SIRRL lodged a second application that again included a report by PDP, which was also returned due to a lack of information. ECan has assessed the air quality report and stated that the information provided is inconsistent.
