operation were inspected and found to be satisfactory.
1 September 2015
The inspection was conducted during light showers, with 47.5 mm of rain recorded
over the previous few days at the New Plymouth Wastewater Treatment Plant
(NPWWTP). Some pollen was present on the surface of SV8000, otherwise the ponds
were relatively clear.
The incinerator was in the process of starting up after a blocked liquids nozzle had
been cleaned. Recent
application falls under Rule 52 of the RAQP. Rule 52
covers “Existing poultry farming processes” whereas AFT (and Tonkin and Taylor) clearly

emphasis added). According to the RAQP this would make the Application subject to Rule 54.

Water abstraction permits
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any water, unless the activity is
expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council

sedimentary rock is softer than the laharic material of the ring plain coast.
There are a number of small estuaries at the mouths of Taranaki’s larger rivers. These
estuaries are well flushed, with little diversity in the way of intertidal and subtidal habitats.
Sedimentation has a major influence on the region’s estuaries, the factors behind which
include rain fall and modified land use. The large number of rivers and the erosion of
Mount Taranaki generally bring a lot of sediment to

Taranaki’s land transport network over the next three years. Three activities are excluded
from the 2015/2018 NLTP due to the timing of the projects in that they fall outside the
current programme. The 2015-2018 NLTP can be viewed online at

THAT the Taranaki Regional Council

regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council
under Section 87(d) of the RMA.
Water discharge permits
Section 15(1)(a) of the RMA stipulates that no person may discharge any contaminant into water, unless the
activity is expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or by national regulations.
Permits authorising discharges to water are issued by the
effective under the new operation. In terms
of equipment that AFT have to mitigate effects of odour and dust, these are all based on
having birds contained within a negative pressure maintained enclosed space.
22. Likewise the TRC in its assessment of the Application appears to make a similar error of
omission to conclude that the consent application falls under Rule 52 of the RAQP. Rule 52
covers “Existing poultry farming processes” whereas AFT (and Tonkin and Taylor) clearly

L/s of the residual flow past the weir (constructed in 2002). The remaining residual
flow passes through an old (and mostly ineffective) fish pass on the true left bank of
the weir.
Much of the scheme is monitored and operated remotely. Through a computerised
water level sensor system, Trustpower can monitor the residual flows in the Manganui
River and Mangaotea Stream, water levels in the race and lake and how much rain is
falling locally. This has allowed Trustpower to manage
