in Taranaki include 27 pest animals, 22 pest plants, and 4 pest fish. The control of all of them falls into three categories. 1. Eradication – This is the complete removal of the pest from Taranaki. An example is the rook, a crow-like bird that causes considerable damage to pasture. To the best of our knowledge we believe there are no longer any rooks living in Taranaki. 2. Containment – Where we feel that total eradication of a pest is not possible, we

Council that the ground conditions were in line with the consent conditions (23 and 24) of the expired consent. Further, a stormwater sample page 16 was collected from pooled rain water which demonstrated no elevated contaminants were present in the sample.
