guideline values, and all results fall into ‘excellent’ Ministry’s air quality category. Two of the
four benzene results were within ‘excellent’ MfE’s category and another two results fell within
the ‘good’ category.
The Council has previously undertaken BTEX monitoring in Taranaki region. The outcomes
of those previous BTEX studies were discussed in the “Air monitoring survey of
hydrocarbon compounds (BTEX) in the Taranaki Region” report which may be

within the 'Acutely threatened' LENZ environment (less than 10% indigenous
forest remaining) and is located in the Manawatu Plains Ecological District.
The KNE provides connectivity to other KNE sites such as Ngakotana Gorge
and Tarere Forest Extension.
