daily average results fell
into the Ministry's 'excellent' or 'good' categories and 41% of the results met the 'acceptable'
category. Six daily results from the total 138 of days monitored fell into the ‘alert’ category. It
is noted that all of those six results happened during moderate to heavy rainfall events, and
in the majority of cases, during fresh onshore winds. These findings confirm those of the
previous inhalable particulate surveys that found sea salt spray to be a major PM10 source.

(the Council) to assess the environmental
performance during the period under review, and the results and effects of the consent
holder’s activities.
The Council’s monitoring programme included three regular inspections, one additional
inspection, and two biological receiving water surveys. Three short duration overflows (four
to nine days) following prolonged and intensive rainfall events, occurred between mid April
and late June 2015.
Regular inspections indicated no problems
rainfall sites recorded figures well above their
averages for the three winter months. Our site
at Patea recorded rainfall figures that were 167%
above its average amount for those months, yet
it was still the driest of our 27 rainfall monitoring
sites around the region. Perhaps you could spare
a thought for the people working in the Dawson
Falls area, as a staggering 2,723mls of rain fell at
that site over the winter period.
