Notes

1.	Formerly Southern Processors. Reports of overflows into harbour received during year, and it is likely monitored discharge underestimates true discharge.
2.	Metro Meat ceased operations in April 1993.
3.	CSBP discharge into Munster Hill drain. See 6 below.
4.	Formerly Kailis and France. No processing in 1994, restarted in June 1995. Connected to sewer May 2001. No discharge information for January-May 2001. Austral Fisheries took over late 2001.
5.	Formerly Albany Woollen Mills. Connected to sewer mid 1999. 1999 figures estimated at half 1998 figures, as not licenced and no information available. Company ceased operating 2000.
6.	Data infrequent or absent for years 1988-1994. 1995 to 2001 figures considered reliable. Includes both Robinson Road and Munster Hill Drains.
7.	WAWA Treatment Plant ceased discharge into harbours from Point King outfall in February 1995.
8.	Figures based on initial study by Town of Albany. Estimated 1993 figures used for each year, and no annual monitoring.
9.	Figures based on Albany groundwater study (Yu and Williamson, WRC 1998). Figures replaced earlier estimates.
10.	Does not include spillage at Port, which has been unpractical to measure. The number of fertiliser shipments vary from year to year. Also does not include Woolstores Drain, the catchment of which includes Hanrahan Road Landfill Site. Monitoring in 2001 suggests tip exported 9,759 kg of TN, 9 kg of TP into drain.
