3. Then we would spend 8-10 weeks removing all asbestos roofing and
cladding and all visible loose asbestos materials, using teams of asbestos
removal specialists fitted with full face respirators, disposable coveralls
and other necessary personal protective equipment (PPE). The asbestos
materials would be bagged in plastic asbestos bags or wrapped in plastic
for removal from site, and all the sealed asbestos materials would be
taken to the nearest suitable

Progress– the end in sight or
the beginning of the end?
Entrance to the Rainforest Centre nearing completion
After an indifferent summer and
autumn in which 20 of the days at
Pukeiti were wet - and many of the
fine days miserable - and even though
the downpours experienced by many
throughout the country skirted
Pukeiti, the building progress has
been hampered; but the end
of a bundle of property services, with minimal
emphasis on waste minimisation and no reporting on volume or tonnage
of waste.
What changes were made
WITT formed a partnership with Transpacific Waste Management and in
February 2012 they introduced on-campus recycling, including the
composting of organic waste. WITT also made a commitment to educate
staff and students about waste minimisation. An important part of this is
Orientation Week for students, which now includes
petroleum UST at the former Patea Freezing Works (the ‘site’). The assessment has been carried out to
describe the extent of any petroleum impacts to soil in the vicinity of the former Underground Petroleum Storage
Systems (UPSS), and to provide an assessment of the possible environmental effects of any residual petroleum
hydrocarbons.
The assessment assumes a commercial or industrial land use at the site. The assessment is based on comparison of
reported petroleum hydrocarbon
strongly
associated with the best improvements in
ecological health that we’ve ever seen, but has
also reduced E. coli levels.
Meanwhile, the dairy-farming community is also
investing in improvements to effluent disposal,
switching to land-based systems that leave
waterways out of the equation.
Industry and communities (through district
councils) have also made heavy investments and
long-term commitments over many decades to
eliminate or dramatically reduce

BIODIVERSITY?
The pressures on biodiversity have taken three forms:
habitat destruction – removing and grazing of
forests, draining wetlands, fragmenting and
degrading remnant ecosystems.
invasive animals and weeds – introduced species
such as possums, rats and old man’s beard that
prey on, or compete with, native species, or degrade
their habitat
hunting – hunting, fishing and gathering.
Certain types of ecosystems such as wetlands,
dunelands and
