1.3 Resource consents

The levels of toluene and xylene obtained in the current work are far below ambient guideline
values, and all results fall into ‘excellent’ Ministry’s air quality category. Three of the four
benzene results were (at worst) within ‘acceptable’ MfE’s category and one result fell within
the ‘good’ category.

There are eight monitored quarries in Taranaki that hold a water abstraction consent. Four of these quarries
actively take water for use in quarry operations, the remaining four hold consents to take groundwater
incidental to quarrying activity.

TTR holds water permit 7470-1.2 to cover the take and use of groundwater from a bore for:
• watering of racing tracks and general purposes at the TTR Club;
• filling of water tanks for watering of New Plymouth District Council (NPDC) owned gardens; and
• other
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
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.

existing knowledge of other subtidal reef systems within TRC’s management region (territorial sea).
This new knowledge helps fill in major fundamental gaps around coastal habitats and associated
ecological assemblages, which fall under TRCs management responsibilities.
