upon receipt of the asset if the asset has a useful life of 12 months or more, and the current value of the
asset is readily obtainable and significant. Significant donated assets for which current values are not readily
obtainable are not recognised. For an asset to be sold, the asset is impaired if the market price for an
equivalent asset falls below its carrying amount. For an asset to be used by the Trust, the
stormwater catchments were
clean. The Herekawe Stream was in low flow, with slight turbidity resulting from the discharge that
dissipated within 25 m. There were no visible emissions to air. An odour survey was conducted around the
site at and no odours were noted.

Five sites are monitored for ammonia, all of
which fall within band A. At these sites, ammonia
is not likely to have any toxic effect, even on the
most sensitive species. Modelling estimates
(Figure 4) however, suggest that around 66% of
rivers or streams are in band A, while 34% are in
band B.

Ammonia, nitrate, and phosphorus are important for plant growth, but in excess amounts can cause
problems in freshwater. They can lead to an overabundance of algae and aquatic weeds, impact on the
growth of sensitive species, or even become toxic to freshwater organisms.
One site is monitored for ammonia, and falls in band A. At this site, ammonia is likely to have little to no
observed effect on ecosystem health. Modelled estimates supports the
thought most unusual when
I first saw it. I found a collection of
conifers as I wandered through the
gardens. One in particular caught my eye.
