Stream, were due principally to resident wild fowl populations in the vicinity of
recreational usage sites (as confirmed by inspections and more recently by DNA marker
surveys).
In terms of E. coli, bacteriological water quality in the latest survey period was similar in
comparison with historical surveys. The total number of samples falling within the “Alert”
or “Action” categories (28% of samples) was equal to the long-term average and was
strongly influenced by samples at two urban sites

epiphytes, loose bark, abundant foliage, leaf litter and forest ground cover. The site will contain a
diverse range of invertebrates which may include notable species such as Peripatus.
Ecological Values
Sustainability - Positive Key ecological processes still influence the site and with
appropriate management, it can remain resilient to existing or
potential threats. The site has the

services which allow for residents to easily and cost effectively recycle their waste.
Where barriers currently exist through lack of services no amount of education or
communication will achieve significant
results. A joint approach will always be
necessary, with education, communication,
and advocacy supporting and promoting
changes to service provision.

consumption of nitrate laden water by bottle fed infants has the potential to
contribute to a blood disorder known as methemoglobinemia or “blue baby
syndrome.” It should be noted that the Ministry of Health advises that, based on
World Health Organisation information and findings, drinking water with up to
double this concentration of nitrates is still safe even for infants. ‘The World Health

The NPS REG objectives also recognizes the need to provide for
the development, operation, maintenance and upgrading of
new and existing renewable electricity generation activities,
such that the proportion of New Zealand’s electricity generated
from renewable energy sources increases to a level that meets
or exceeds the New Zealand Government’s national target for
renewable electricity generation.

1.1.3 The Resource Management Act (1991) and monitoring
The Resource Management Act primarily addresses environmental `effects’ which
are defined as positive or adverse, temporary or permanent, past, present or future,
or cumulative. Effects may arise in relation to:

stream banks, in sand dunes, on school grounds,

give me a call and I could take a lesson outlining

Make the most of your term.
