likely to result in the disclosure of information where the withholding of the information is
necessary to protect the information that would likely to unreasonably prejudice the commercial
position of the person/s who supplied or who are the subject of the information and to enable the
local authority to carry on without prejudice commercial negotiations.

2. Pesticides in groundwater
Pesticides include herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides and can be defined as any
chemical used to control pests. There is always a risk associated with them to
adversely affect the environment and human health. When pesticides are applied
there is a potential that some of the product may run off the soil's surface or leach
down through the soil to eventually reach the groundwater.

respect to proposed additional industrial loadings.

Regular inspections indicated no immediate problems with the oxidation ponds system’s
performance, with no overflows to land or adjacent stormwater drains, following very wet
weather as a direct consequence of re-engineered bunding and cell wall upgrades. Seasonal
variability in secondary pond microfloral populations (as indicated by chlorophyll-
concentrations) was also influenced by preceding wet-weather stormwater
encouraging. On top of its
use with Yr12/13 science classes, we are now
offering SHMAK courses to adult groups such
as several Taranaki iwi who want to monitor the
health of streams within their tribal area. This is
another example of ‘citizen science’ in action.
What’s more, the adults seem to really enjoy it!

Waste Minimisation and Recycling
Society in general is certainly more aware of the need to reduce, reuse or recycle its waste.
This
granting of a resource consent for activities within, adjacent to,
or impacting directly on, the statutory area.
The limitations on the effect of statutory acknowledgements are, that except as expressly provided in the deed of
settlement legislation,—
(a) statutory acknowledgements do not affect, and are not able to be taken into account by, any person exercising a
power or performing a function or duties under any statute, regulation or bylaw;
(b) no person, in considering a
used nationally and internationally as a planning
tool to review and design programmes and to test the underlying rationale for public interventions.
As part of the review of its pest management strategies, the Council has applied the intervention logic
model.
The process involved a series of 14 workshops held throughout February and March 2012. At those
workshops, staff evaluated what outcomes are sought in relation to individual pest animal or plant
species, and then evaluated how that
previous
consent breaches, most of which went unpunished, and the
failure to comply with many of the previous consent
regulations, even when given plenty of time to do so. In such a
fragile environment, there is no room for error or
incompetence. The results could be catastrophic to our land,
river and sea.

· Scattered bare
with the ponds’ system maintenance or
operation, with no unauthorised overflows to the stream of any nature. Three incidents of
stormwater/sewage overflows were reported in the Konini and Brown Streets areas of the
township due to surcharging of the reticulation under very heavy rainfall conditions.
Reactivation of an alarmed and telemetered overflow site has been necessary to alleviate
sewage entry to domestic property. Signage requirements have been recognised and
provided for should such
disposal at Colson
Road landfill and the excavation backfilled with clean imported soil.
The discovery of the chemical residues has raised concerns within the community that there could be general dioxin
and other contamination within the landfill and that this contamination could also be affecting the surface of the park.
Park users are concerned that they or their children might be exposed to such contamination in their day-to-day use of
the park.
