The Company holds water permit 1795-4 to cover the taking of water from the Waiaua River in association
with the Opunake hydroelectric power scheme. This permit was issued by the Council on 13 October 2006
under Section 87(d) of the RMA. It is due to expire on 1 June 2018.
Special condition 1 defines the maximum rate of abstraction (3,900 L/s).
Special condition 2 requires the Company to

comprised of cliffs. Erosion is greatest along the marine terraced coastline where the
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
process sewers which flow to the
storm pond. The stormwater falling on the non-process areas of the western half of the site (Figure 1) is
directed by “v” ditches running alongside the roads to a dam known as the Duck Pond and then out to the
Tasman Sea via the Manu Stream. Stormwater falling on the eastern side of the site is directed to unnamed
tributaries of the Waihi Stream via outfalls and a small sedimentation pond.
Sludge from the storm pond, off-spec pond and blow down pond stored in
air permit falls under Rule 52 of the Regional
Air Quality Plan for Taranaki (RAQP), which applies to:
Discharges of contaminants to air from intensive poultry farming when more than
30,000 poultry are kept at any one time, and where the poultry farm is an existing
operation and a new consent is being applied for to replace or renew an existing consent.

standard, which is:

1.2.2 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.
There are ten monitored quarries in Taranaki that hold a water abstraction consent. Six of these

From the regional perspective, for seismic surveys within the CMA, most regional coastal
plans are silent on provisions for the activity, one would suspect because, until recently,
no offshore seismic surveys have been proposed for their respective CMAs and hence, at
the time of writing the current plans, crystal ball gazing did not extend to that activity.
As a consequence, seismic surveys fall within the default categorisation of discretionary
or, in some cases,
