You are a forestry consultant asked by the landowner, Kotahi farms, for independent advice. The date is 12 June 2018 so the NES-PF is in force. Kotahi wants to log and replant 15 ha. You’ve got one of your staff to run MPI’s ESC and fish spawning tools, so you have on hand the relevant ESC and fish spawning maps (see page 3 and 4). For this scenario the land is in the yellow zone. Your staff also got a competent person to complete the wilding risk calculator and have confirmed there will be no problem to comply with the permitted activity conditions on wilding risk.
You will need to review the information and answer Kotahi’s questions.

It is July 2018. Harvesting has not previously required resource consent. Will it under the NES-PF?
You are the woodlot planner. You did a harvest plan for a good-sized woodlot just prior to the NES-PF coming into effect. The questions below are a list of things you need to check out before meeting with your boss.

You are the woodlot planner. The block is the same one as in Scenario 2. You have jotted down the questions on the next page as things you need to confirm before meeting with your boss.
The scenario date is 10 June 2018 and the company intends to start construction of the crossing on 1 August. It should take about 2 weeks to complete.

Under the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines (ACVM) Act 1997, all substances that are agricultural compounds must be registered unless exempted.

This guideline is designed to assist manufacturers operating under a Product Safety
Programme (PSP)/Risk Management Programme (RMP) and other interested parties (e.g.
Compliance and Investigation Group (CIG), Third Party Agencies (TPAs)) in the practical
implementation of the NZFSA Standard D110.2, “Dairy HACCP Plans”.

This document provides guidance and examples for each of the clauses in the Animal Products (Dairy Risk Management Programme Specifications) Notice 2005 relevant to significant amendments

Criteria relating to the design and construction of Dairy Premises and plant were originally
published by MAF within the documents DDM1A, DDM1B, DDM1C. The ownership of these
documents was then transferred to MQM and the documents were renamed as MQD1A, MQD1B, MQD1C.

This handbook was developed to assist people who are already implementing a Sustainable Farming Fund (SFF) project or plan to apply for SFF support, as well as people who have an idea, technology or information they want to share. The handbook will help readers think about how to develop an effective programme that will assist participants in understanding new or changed practices, accessing information or resources, and changing their practice or behaviour if required.

Experience tells us that contamination of manufactured foods typically occurs during the
manufacture process. That is, from the processing environment, or from inadequate process
control. Therefore, effective management of pathogens can be achieved by controlling
pathogens in the process environment, and by ensuring appropriate process controls. This
document provides guidance to manufacturers for pathogen management. For some food
industries a pathogen management plan is a regulatory requirement. For others, it is not
mandatory, but all manufacturers are strongly encouraged to adopt these useful principles
for ensuring food safety

This document describes risk management after authorisations have been issued for importation, manufacture, sale or use of ACVM products.

The Erosion Susceptibility Classification (ESC) provides a risk screening tool that contributes to the delivery of improved national consistency in the management of plantation forestry through the National Environmental Standards for Plantation Forestry (NES-PF).

The purpose of this plant import requirement is to describe the approved method of seed sampling and DNA-based testing for the presence of genetically modified seed for pre-export [and border] testing consignments of seeds imported for sowing into New Zealand.

The development of antimicrobials for preventing and curing diseases that were previously either untreatable, or difficult to treat, provided a significant advancement in both human and animal medicine. However, there are significant concerns in New Zealand and overseas regarding the increasing levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)1 and the lack of new antibiotics being developed.

An epidemic of Salmonella Brandenburg abortions in sheep in the South Island, peaking in 2000, and consequential increase in human cases and detections on sheep meat resulted in a "Quantitative risk assessment of Salmonella in sheep meat produced in New Zealand (Sal-QRA)". The Sal-QRA programme has identified the prevalence and levels on carcass meat of Salmonella after slaughter, and demonstrated a significant decrease during processing. Similarly, the failure to identify any cases-control association with consumption of sheep meat suggests that a foodborne route of infection is not contributing significantly to the burden of S. Brandenburg cases.
