Water & soil miscellaneous publicationAbstract: This report overviews the practices and processes of discharge of liquid wastes via marine outfalls to New Zealand coastal waters with reference to United States legislation and practices. The operational problems of some New Zealand outfalls are reviewed, and desk and field studies of selected outfalls are described. The report concludes that the high energy New Zealand coastal environment is well suited to disposal of liquid wastes provided present deficiencies of outfall construction and maintenance can be overcome. Aesthetic problems are of real significance in New Zealand but modern screening methods, sedimentation and long, relatively deep outfalls offer a solution. Additional research is needed on the human health hazard from pathogenic organisms from outfalls.
