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
under Section 87(d) of the
Executive Audit and Risk Agenda July 2023
Executive, Audit & Risk Committee agenda August 2020

proposed changes would raise or lower the crossing safety level when compared to the exiting scenario. This will include an
updated ALCAM ‘proposal’ that factors in the current AADT volumes of all applicable users.

domestic supply before being pumped to a
nearby reservoir. The water supply is reticulated to approximately 2,300 separate
customers.
The water filters are backwashed at least once a day using treated water. These
backwashes are discharged into a large settling pond that was previously a reservoir
for the water supply prior to treatment. The outlet from the pond is an inverted pipe
located at the opposite end of the pond from the inlet. The discharge from the pond
emerges from a pipe to fall
accumulations of lahar, debris avalanche and air fall
deposits from the volcanic centres, interbedded with river and swamp deposits.
Coherent lava bodies occur in close proximity to the volcanic centres but are not
represented in the volcanic deposits beyond the Egmont National Park boundary.
As a whole, the volcanics are complex in architecture and contain a range of aquifer
types includeding unconfined, semi-confined, confined and perched aquifers.
Aquifers are typically anisotropic and ash
radioactive materials.
Users of radioactive material are required to obtain a licence (see
http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1965/0023/latest/DLM373117.html), and
importers/exporters are required to obtain a consent (see
http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1965/0023/latest/DLM373115.html). These requirements
can however be exempted if the material falls below certain thresholds. The criteria
for exemption are set out in the Radiation Protection Regulations (see
Taylor report has also avoided commenting on how controls should be enhanced
and where existing controls might become less 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.

omission to conclude that the consent application falls
