threatened in Taranaki (WF13 Tawa, page kohekohe, rewarewa, hinau, podocarp forest), with only about 16% of its original area left. Sustainability - Positive In good vegetative condition. Key ecological processes still influence the site. Under appropriate management, it can remain resilient to existing or potential threats. Other Management Issues Habitat Modification - Low Although the habitat is at risk of modification from stock and weed
brown mudfish, with North Island populations now mainly found from Warea in Taranaki southwards, usually at elevations lower than 240 metres. They tolerate a wide range of habitats including peaty bogs, raupo swamps, lake margins, forest pools and streams. A lot of the habitats that brown mudfish occupy dry out over summer, forcing the fish to aestivate (summer hibernation). During summer mudfish bury themselves deep in mud or under logs, making sure their refuge is
potential to increase the reliability and resilience of the electricity supply to people living in the local Opunake community. This has clear social and economic benefits. The scheme will also contribute to the Government’s aspirational goal of achieving 100 per cent renewable electricity by 2035 and well as decarbonisation goals. RELIEF SOUGHT Subject to any adverse effects of the scheme being adequately avoided, remedied or mitigated, that the consents be granted.

we will be calling for volunteers to help with the garden at this time. There will be a list at the AGM for members present to fill in. Otherwise if you could ring or e-mail Heather with the times you are available to help it will save her from ringing you. Weekend of 21 & 22 November – Members’ bus trip to the Cross Hills Garden, Country Fair and Nursery. This was originally planned as a day visit but, having spoken to the staff at Cross Hills, I realise that trying to drive to
interconnected values of a site or place with the wider environment is an essential consideration when assessing the cultural effects of activities within the Ngaa Rauru Kiitahi rohe. However, the following specific sites and places identify sites with special cultural, spiritual, historical and traditional associations located within the coastal marine area, including values specific to the site or place. Tauranga waka (mooring) have kawaa (reef) and tauranga ika (fishing grounds)
and what are the advantages/disadvantages of using it? - What methods of control are there, poisoning/hunting/trapping? Debate Topic - That trapping is a more effective way of controlling possums in New Zealand than poisoning. Divide your class into groups to debate this topic or ask children to present a speech on possum related topics. Activity 2 - Controlling Possums Language/Debate/Speech Set up some feed stations around the school using apples, carrots etc and
in the Taranaki region. The highest median enterococci counts were recorded at Oakura Surf Club and Ohawe (57 and 24 enterococci cfu/100 ml respectively). Median enterococci counts at all other beaches were equal to or less than 8 cfu/100 ml. Out of the 191 samples collected for both SEM and for additional monitoring purposes, 96% were below the Alert level. Of the few samples which individually entered the Alert guideline category (4%), over two thirds (5 out of 7) had been influenced by
automobile exhaust, and through volatilization from there use as solvents. The term BTEX reflects that benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes are often found together. Health effects Exposure to BTEX can occur by ingestion (consuming water contaminated with BTEX), inhalation (exposure to BTEX present in the air) or absorption through the skin. Inhalation of BTEX can occur while pumping gasoline. Absorption of these chemicals can occur by spilling gasoline onto one's skin. Acute
on-site will be ‘windrow composting’ and vermicast production. The products produced are expected to be sold off-site. I can confirm the material to be received on-site, as indicated in Table 2 of the AEE - ‘Anticipated Waste Streams’. The UCS provides a viable alternative for organic waste streams that would otherwise go to landfill at Bonny Glenn or Hampton Down landfill sites. Our UCS facility is available to local industries, i.e. poultry processing 24/7 (Taranaki is one of the
