occasions.
Monitoring of the Herekawe catchment consisted of eight inspections and discharge
sampling on three or four occasions for most sites. The Herekawe Stream itself was sampled
on seven occasions and four biomonitoring surveys were conducted.
Site inspections for both catchments consistently revealed no areas of concern. Sites were
found to be well maintained, bunded areas secure and stormwater treatment systems
operating effectively. Macroinvertebrate community index (MCI) values from
activity had resulted in any adverse effects on stream health. The biomonitoring
of surface water bodies was only introduced as a standard component of hydraulic fracturing
page
monitoring programmes in 2013, and therefore surveys were only carried out in relation to the
fracturing of the Mangahewa-16 well.
The monitoring carried out by the Council indicates that the hydraulic fracturing activities
undertaken by Todd had no significant adverse effects on local groundwater or
inshore and offshore spoil disposal areas in the
Tasman Sea.
During the monitoring period, Port Taranaki Limited demonstrated an overall high level
of environmental performance.
The Council’s monitoring programme for the period under review included two intertidal
surveys at four sites, and two kaimoana surveys at five sites.
The results of intertidal surveys did not indicate that the disposal of dredged material was
having a significant impact on the abundance or diversity of intertidal

Particles found in the air we breathe vary greatly in size. The greatest health hazard from
particles comes from the smallest ones – less than 10 microns (10 µm or 10 micrometres)
across – because we easily inhale these small particles into our lungs. These particles are
referred to as PM10 (referring to their size) or as inhalable particulate (referring to their
potential effect). PM10 come from sources such as burning coal, oil, wood, and petrol and
diesel in domestic fires, transportation and
