the time of the 2015
survey, was not recorded to have extended beyond the mid-section in the 2018 survey. It had 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. The next macrophyte survey of

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) can also be significant sources of nitrogen oxides. NO and NO2 are of interest because of
potential effects on human health.
Nitric oxide is colourless and odourless and is oxidised in
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 dioxide is an odorous, brown, acidic, highly corrosive gas that can affect our
health and environment. Nitrogen oxides are critical components of photochemical
While using water to generate power is considered non-
consumptive because the water is returned to the river, it can
affect downstream flows. Permitted takes (for reasonable
domestic and stock use) also make up a portion of Taranaki’s
water allocation.
A key factor in water allocation decisions is the ‘mean annual
low flow’, or MALF, which is the lowest flow that could be
naturally expected on a year-to-year basis. A MALF is based on
intensive data from long-term

Strategy:
Pathway and exclusion programmes to prevent the
introduction of harmful plants and animals to the
region, and reduce the effects of existing pests.
Eradication programmes to target five harmful
species not yet established or widespread in
Taranaki.
Sustained control programmes to target 12 pests
that are having a regional effect on the
environment and agriculture, with rules (in the
Regional Pest Management Plan
regional land transport strategies and regional land transport
programmes were replaced by a new single regional planning
document – the regional land transport plan, which combines elements
of both former documents.
The first such plan for the region, the Regional Land Transport Plan for
Taranaki 2015/16–2020/21 (the Plan or RLTP), was developed during
2014/15 and approved by Council on the 7 April 2015. It came into
effect on 1 July 2015.
The Plan’s role is to provide
long-term average, and ranged from 96.4%
at Kahui Hut to 205.8% at Pohokura Saddle. Rainfall was elevated on the southern side of
the Maunga and central and northern hill country.
Year to date rainfall is sitting between 95.5% (Kotare at OSullivans) and 198.8% (Kapoaiaia
at Lighthouse) with an average of 126.9% of normal. North and eastern hill country rain
gauges are showing rain below normal, while most other locations are close to or above
normal. Cape Egmont remains at around 198.8% of

1998 study. An updated version is still in use in Australia and New Zealand
today.
This is a steady-state Gaussian model, where the meteorological conditions at
the source are assumed to remain constant as the plume travels downwind.
While non-steady state models can give more accurate predicted concentrations
in complex terrain or at distances of more than a few kilometres downwind,
models such as AUSPLUME are considered to be
