disposed of at the Colson Rd landfill in 2009 and 2010 was over 61,000 tonnes per year which seems a lot and indeed it is, but to many of us that amount is hard to visualize. When we equate it to a per person basis, it is 584 kilograms each. When we compare that figure to the rate per person in New Zealand of 790 kilograms per person we are doing pretty well. It is expected that these figures will decrease in the future through waste minimisation initiatives. This landfill
regression or the rate ratio for Poisson regression. For both regression types, the strength is calculated by exponentiating the regression coefficient, where values less than 1 indicate a decreasing temporal trend, values equal to 1 indicate no change, and values greater than 1 indicate an increasing temporal trend. Finally, given the large number of analyses performed, we make inferences mainly for those species for which we obtained a significant temporal trend. 5 Results

has been shown to provide reasonably accurate representation of inland inundation from tsunami based waves. The application is as follows: For a given shoreline wave height, the wave height was added to a mid tide value (in this case 2 m), then the following attenuation rules were applied: The potential runup height attenuates at a rate of 1 m for every 200 m horizontal inland for flow direct from the coast. page Taranaki Tsunami Inundation Analysis

washwater and stormwater to minimise the requirement to abstract surface water. Often when combined with efficient recycling, the small volumes of surface water required to be abstracted for washing at quarries fit within the permitted activity rule [Rule 15] of the Regional Fresh Water Plan for Taranaki. That is, the abstraction volume shall not exceed 50 cubic metres per day, and the abstraction rate shall not exceed 1.5 litres per second. Vickers Quarries Limited holds no

analysed trends over time for a number of parameters at the Taranaki sites and have rated them relative to other New Zealand rivers (McBride, 1996, TRC, 2003 and TRC, 2009). Water quality has been relatively stable at the Waitara River site compared with national trends and, not surprisingly, water quality remains high at the upper/mid catchment Manganui River site. A deterioration in aspects of water quality has occurred at the site in the lower reaches of the Waingongoro River over time Trends in
