water, do not impede the flow and do not get broken off. Further up the bank where the force and frequency of flooding is less, taller species are recommended to provide bank stability and eventually provide shade for the water. Once the native plants are well established they will seed, new plants will grow to replace the original ones as they get old and die, and the area will more or less look after itself. It is important in selecting plants for the margin to consider not

system The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is the national leader for New Zealand’s biosecurity system, which consists of pre-border, at the border, and post-border activities, with the Taranaki Regional Council (among others) having a role in the latter. Many parties, from the government to individuals, have a responsibility or an interest in protecting our country from harmful organisms. Biosecurity is everybody’s business. Pre-border control
an occasional vagrant in the South Island. Dabchicks are often found in lakes, dams, ponds and even sewage oxidation ponds. In North Taranaki dabchicks can be found all year round though not as frequently or in such numbers as South Taranaki. These freshwater diving birds are aquatic specialists and hardly spend any time on land. They feed, sleep and even build their nests on water. Their floating nests are attached to emergent aquatic vegetation such as raupo,
during construction activities. The influence that aquifer properties below 2 metres have on groundwater velocities is uncertain, in terms of over and/or under estimating velocities. For the current groundwater velocity calculations, the aquifer properties were estimated as ‘Silty Clay’, with an effective soil porosity of 0.01 or 1% to the base of the aquifer (McWorter and Sunada 1977). Well construction information is also limited but deemed critical to the analysis of slug test data, and
exceed the conservatively applied guideline values for 95% protection of aquatic ecosystems. These concentrations should reduce once the site has been cleaned up, and in any case do not currently appear to be causing any adverse effects on the receiving environments i.e. estuary or the Patea River. With page the exception of asbestos, the concentrations of all on site contaminants are below the relevant guideline values. The risk from asbestos is currently minimised by the

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 oxidised in the atmosphere to form nitrogen dioxide. Nitrogen
