has been undertaken by the Taranaki Regional Council since 2002 at nine sites. Chloride concentrations within surface water show a clear increase in concentrations downstream of the site, with an increase of chloride adjacent discharge sites, the downstream irrigation area and in the receiving environment in March 2014. Chloride concentrations post-March 2014 then significantly decreased, with all sites well below the consented limits for Chlorides in all samples (mg/l). Figure 2.5

Note: No submissions on the Proposed Navigation Safety Bylaws for Port Taranaki and its Approaches (the Proposed Bylaws) were received, however, the Taranaki Regional Council (the Council) received pre-notification advice on the Draft Proposed Bylaw from Maritime New Zealand that was not able to be considered prior to the public release of the bylaws. Therefore, the Council agreed to treat the feedback as if it were a submission in order to give consideration to the matters raised. Please

page Introduction The Stream Health Measurement Assessment Kit (SHMAK) kit has been modified for use by secondary school groups within the Taranaki region. The original kit was designed by NIWA (National Institute of Water and Atmosphere) for use by farmers in New Zealand to monitor the ‘health’ of the streams that flow across their land. In combination with existing stream assessment techniques already provided to school pupils by Taranaki Regional Council
the Taranaki Regional Council at four regional monitoring sites located in New Plymouth- CBD, New Plymouth- busy traffic intersection, Tariki- pristine farmland and in Stratford Township. The main objective was to measure the concentrations of the volatile organic compounds (VOC) benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX) using a passive sampling method. Monitoring for BTEX has been undertaken by the Council as part of the Council’s SEM programme. The location of the BTEX
