More research is needed to find out where these connections may exist in Taranaki and the significance of any impacts from groundwater nutrient contributions in surface water systems. • Storing hazardous substances under cover, and on a sealed pad above ground • Correctly using pesticides and fertiliser to prevent leaching • Disposing of waste to appropriate recycling or landfill facilities • Spreading effluent onto land at a rate soil and plants can

summer-autumn under low flow conditions during the monitoring period (at which time the Waverley system was being desludged with bio-bugs, the Manaia system had been upgraded with the addition of two wetlands, the Kaponga pond subsurface discharge rate was very low and receiving water dilution very high, and the Patea upgraded ponds system discharged continuously), or on other occasions when monitoring of impacts was required by specific consent conditions. This monitoring continued the increased

page 5 The computer controller will not allow the cremator to be charged unless the temperature in the secondary chamber reaches 650°C and a two-second residence time is achieved. Data on residence time, emission levels, furnace pressure and rates of temperature change are used to continuously check and adjust controls to ensure maximum efficiency. A feature of the Newton cremator is a water curtain charging system. This spray system retards the start of the cremation

incineration and burning of waste. Natural sources, such as sea-spray and pollen, also contribute to overall levels. 18. Research has demonstrated a correlation between short-term episodes of exposure to particulate matter and increased adverse medical outcomes for heart, respiratory and circulatory conditions (e.g. asthma, emphysema, heart attack and stroke). Longer-term exposure to increased concentrations correlates with increased cancer rates, premature death rates and chronic respiratory

problem • We have used t-tests to determine whether two percentages are different from each other. With each t-test that is done, we incur a probability of a Type I error (rejection of a true null hypothesis or in other words ‘false positive’). The probability of committing a Type I error is the significance level of the test, which is set to 5%. When doing multiple tests, the Type I error rate is inflated. We have used the false discovery rate (FDR) method to control the expected proportion
