Nitrogen oxides
Nitrogen oxides (NOx), a mixture of nitrous oxide (N2O), nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen
dioxide (NO2), are produced from natural sources, motor vehicles and other fuel combustion
processes. Indoor domestic appliances (gas stoves, gas or wood heaters) can also be significant
sources of nitrogen oxides, particularly in areas that are poorly ventilated. NO and NO2 are of
interest because of potential effects on human health.
Nitric oxide is colourless and odourless and is
buildings, roads, crops, fencing, housing, and the Waipapa Marae.
Extensive landsliding throughout the catchment also caused significant and costly damage to roading,
telecommunication and electricity infrastructure. All farming properties in the Waitotara Valley were
affected to varying degrees with the worst affected properties in the upper catchment. Farm bridges,
culverts, fences, roads and tracks were damaged or destroyed by slips or inundation. There were also

on a hill country farm.
The Taranaki Regional Council advocates fixing these problems
on the farm before they turn into big ones, or start to have
off-site effects.
Purpose of a conservation plan
Conservation plans are formulated by the Regional Council in
conjunction with individual landowners, to deal with site-

routes with a view to mapping them. FR noted to ensure all members
have the same understanding of the term ‘key route’ a definition or

Sustainability - Positive The site is of a good size and well connected to surrounding
habitat. Key ecological processes still influence the site. Under
appropriate management, it can remain resilient to existing or
potential threats

The basics
There are a variety of options for composting.
Popular options you could consider are: compost
bin, bokashi bin or worm farm. You can buy these
from hardware stores or make your own.
Greens and browns
Each compost method will require a different
composition of greens and browns. These are:
Why compost
Almost 50% of household rubbish to landfill is
organic waste – this is food waste, lawn clippings

the 2015 survey, was not recorded
to have extended beyond the mid-section in the 2018 survey. It has been predicted that hornwort will
eventually become dominant, out-competing E. densa and L. major. While this is not expected to cause
significant impacts on the ecology of Lake Rotorangi or on the hydro-electric scheme, there is now greater
potential for it to spread to nearby lakes, where such impacts could be much more severe, e.g. Lake
Rotokare.
