the diversion of municipal wastewater from Waitara to New Plymouth, green-lipped mussels
from three reef sites were analysed for norovirus.
The monitoring showed that activities at the WWWTP complied with consent limits on daily
discharge rate and various parameters in the discharge.
Marine ecology survey results showed no detectable impact of the Waitara Marine Outfall
discharge on the local intertidal community over the last twenty years in terms of

also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period under
review.
Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving environment from the
activities during the monitoring year. Administrative performance is concerned with the Trust’s approach to
demonstrating consent compliance in site operations and management including the
refinement of methods
and considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the
region’s resources.

Indigenous forest
As previously noted, we have discontinued the practice of comparing indigenous sites to
target values as they can be highly variable in soil quality indicators and there is generally
little that can be done to manage indicators that are outside target values. Nevertheless,
we still encourage sampling of indigenous sites as they form a baseline for rate of change
in other land uses.
It is interesting to note that

Lake Rotorangi is due to be performed in
the 2020-2021 period.
Lake condition, in terms of lake productivity, continued to be within the category of mesotrophic to possibly
mildly eutrophic (mildly nutrient enriched). However, taking into account the influence of suspended
sediment in this reservoir, and the moderately low chlorophyll levels, the classification is more appropriately
mesotrophic. Previous trending of these water quality data over time found a very slow rate of increase in
