                 Dear David

                         Request-
                         Odour Issues                                 -




                         Proposed Poultry Growing Sheds, Ridgewood

                 Further to your request, MWA Environmental has reviewed the Sunshine Coast
                 Regional Council ("SCRC") ’Outstanding Issues Request’ (28 June 2013) ("the
                 outstanding issues request") in relation to the proposed poultry farm at 124 Top
                 Forestry Road, Ridgewood.

                 The outstanding issues request is for further information regarding:


                           Operational management;
                           Traffic engineering;

                           Odour; and
                           Stormwater treatment and water quality management.


                 This letter responds to the additional information requested by SCRC in relation to
                 odour issues, as follows:


                     Amendments to the Air Quality Impact Assessment Report:


                        .   Provide a revised Air Quality Impact Assessment which assesses in addition to the proposed
                            sheds:
                              the quantitative odour impacts from the required amount of shed litter stockpile storage
                               areas to be used for                              storage of the litter prior to disposal/spreading on site
                              the quantitative odour impacts of spreading spent litter across the footprint of the existing
                               avocado farm.
                               In your response, provide all assumptions made for the odour modelling including litter stock
                               piling times, footprint of the spreading area, spreading area timeframes, litter moisture
                               content with respect to the storage areas and spreading/breakdown of litter. Where the
                               modelling indicates that relevant guidelines are exceeded, then the report should make
                               recommendations for amelioration accordingly.
