Coll Bell was told to get an expert's report on the mental impact on the tiger worms being used after an official became concerned during a site visit. He says the official felt that the worms were being unfairly treated, being expected to deal with human faeces, and that it could affect them in a psychological way. Mr Bell was told he had to get someone with the necessary qualifications to say the worms were happy. A vermiculture consultant was called in and she has found the worms are in excellent health and breeding happily... ....Senior consents officer Robyn Floyd said the woman's concerns were fair because they related to an application to use the wormorator at a campground, where sewage flowed mainly for two weeks a year, with little flow during the rest of the year. "The phrase was used by a new member of staff, but it did relate to a valid concern with stress on a proposed worm population from huge fluctuations in flows and thus feed for the worms, and the corresponding performance of the system." http://www.stuff.co.nz/sundaystartim...5727a6442.html rob |
