10. The consent holder shall ensure that during construction periods, the area subject to
works shall have sufficient signage to warn the public of any potential hazards.
11. The consent holder shall maintain the structure in a safe and sound state such that:
a. it does not fall into a state of disrepair and continues to function effectively for
the purpose it was designed i.e. for the protection of State Highway 3; and
b. any erosion, scour or instability of the estuary

install a site at Dawson Falls once redevelopment work planned in
series of
treatment ponds adjacent to the quarry face. Water from these ponds is discharged to
an unnamed tributary of the Patea River.

1.3 Resource consents
1.3.1 Water abstraction
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
Lower Waiwhakaiho Flood Control Scheme Asset Management Plan.

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 by the Company. 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 race flows to
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 the coast. However, the high energy
coastline means this sediment supply does not settle long enough to greatly assist with
the beach building process.

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 Council under Section
