summer season, 243 routine samples were collected across 14 sites; of which 91.8%
remained within Surveillance mode (≤140 cfu/100 ml). Guideline exceedances were relatively sporadic
during what was a drier than usual summer, although a wet weather survey and a pollution incident at
Ngamotu Beach contributed to the highest counts of the season. Median enterococci counts recorded in
the SEM programme were lower or equal at seven sites, and higher at seven sites, when compared with
and the Health Protection Unit of the Taranaki District Health Board throughout
the summer bathing season of 2016-2017.
Through the Council’s LTP, the Council’s target in respect of the microbiological state of
coastal bathing sites is that there is maintenance or increase in the number of sites from 2003
compliant with 2003 Ministry of Health contact recreational guidelines. In 2003, 10 of 11 coastal
bathing sites were compliant with the guidelines (Action levels). In the season under

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

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
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
