million tonnes of soil. On residential properties nearest to the Dow plant, soil dioxin concentrations were typically in the range 5 to 15 ng/kg of soil, falling to a range of 1 to 5 ng/kg further out. One sample had a concentration of 27 ng/kg. There was 92 ng/kg measured at a non-residential site, on the west- facing slope of Mount Moturoa Domain. Generally there was little difference between soil dioxin levels in lawn areas compared with gardens on the same property.
Again odour was very minimal. No visual environmental impacts downstream of the discharge point to the Tawhiti Stream observed at any time during the financial year. Effluent collection points within piggery viewed during all inspections. Found to be in good condition, with no signs of spills or overflows even after heavy prolonged rain periods. Bunding functioning well. During the 8th May inspection a burst underground effluent pipe between the southern sheds was brought to the attention

The newly capped area was starting to grow grass but was still largely uncovered and quite soft underfoot (waterlogged). The northern batter was inspected and found to have a minor amount of exposed rubbish where drainage works were undertaken. This should be attended to once the new cap has stabilised and been grassed over. There were some areas where there was some minor

bacteriological sampling at four sites at Urenui and five sites at Onaero. The monitoring showed that the wastewater treatment systems at the beach camps did not adversely affect the water quality of the local freshwater and coastal environments. Although high bacteriological results were returned from the water quality sampling efforts, these counts were attributed to surface runoff draining the upstream agricultural catchment, following the rains that preceded the sampling. There was one
