below shows the projections released in 2002, versus the estimated population through to 2011
(labelled ‘revised estimate’). Statistics NZ’s medium projection was for the population to fall by 1,360
by 2011, when in fact it grew by 6,960.

The discharge records indicated that all discharges had occurred when the river flow was above the

The Waiongana Stream hydrology displays a natural rapid rise and fall (typical of Taranaki ring plain

The levels of toluene and xylene obtained in the current work are far below ambient guideline
values, and all results fall into ‘excellent’ Ministry’s air quality category. Three of the four
benzene results were (at worst) within ‘acceptable’ MfE’s category and one result fell within
the ‘good’ category.
