page CONCEPT SHEET 8 Forestry Commercial-scale log harvesting (covering 5ha or more) is the focus of a number of measures in the Draft Freshwater and Land Plan. They are designed to minimise the risks of soil erosion and impacts on freshwater quality. The Council proposes rules that are closely aligned with industry best-practice, while keeping requirements as simple and streamlined as possible. When a resource consent would
regional emission sources and ambient air quality in the region. Nitrogen oxides NOx, any mixture of nitrous oxide (N2O), nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), are produced from soil, motor vehicles and industrial fuel combustion processes. Indoor domestic appliances (gas stoves, gas or wood heaters) are significant localised sources of nitrogen oxides. Environmental and health effects of nitrogen oxides NO and NO2 are of interest to air scientists and public …

TRANSFORMING TARANAKI What's wrong with nutrients in streams? Nutrients, including the elements nitrogen and phosphorus, are essential for plant growth and soil biological activity. On land or of themselves, nutrients are not a problem (only rarely will the concentration of nutrients be such that it will result in ammonia toxicity). The problem with excessive nutrient enrichment is how the nutrients may affect the physicochemical and biological condition of water once they escape or seep
Taranaki Regional 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. Two short duration overflows (four to five days) occurred between late September and mid October 2013. Regular inspections indicated no problems with the ponds’ system maintenance or operation,
Biodiversity Biodiversity, or biological diversity, describes the variety of all biological life and the ecosystems of which they are a part. The arrival of humans radically changed New Zealand’s indigenous biodiversity when introduced plant and animal species and human activity changed the landscape. As a result, Taranaki is now a highly modified landscape with approximately 52% of its land area classified as acutely or chronically threatened in that there is less than 20% of indigenous

to new plantings can be considerably reduced by reducing pest numbers beforehand. The standard options for initial control are: • Possums - shooting, trapping or poisoning • Hares - shooting • Rabbits - shooting • Pukekos - culling during late autumn- early winter (the shooting season) Shooting is something landowners can easily undertake themselves without outside help. Most landowners are familiar with use of firearms, and the safety precautions necessary when shooting. A
Exposure to BTEX can occur by ingestion (consuming water contaminated with BTEX), inhalation (exposure to BTEX present in the air) or absorption through the skin. Inhalation of BTEX can occur while pumping gasoline. Absorption of these chemicals can occur by spilling gasoline onto one's skin. Acute exposures to high levels of gasoline and its BTEX components have been associated with skin and sensory irritation, central nervous system depression, and effects on the respiratory system. These levels
