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

yield and order for each REC class, which is influenced by the amount of data (viz. contributing sites)
within each class. The REML model does not produce a coefficient of determination that can be used
to check of the goodness of fit of the model. However, goodness of fit was assessed using the
frequency with which observed yields fall within the mean yield estimated by the model and 95%
confidence interval for a class.

The levels of Toluene and Xylene obtained in the current work are far below ambient
guideline values, and all results fall
results fell into the MfE
‘Excellent’ air quality category. Three of the four
benzene results were within the MfE ‘Acceptable’
category. One result fell within the ‘Good’ category.
The Council also monitors for VOCs around
significant potential sources, such as gas production
stations, as part consent compliance programmes.
Results always fall well within guideline values.

meaningfully separated. No rules within the RFWP specifically provide for the
discharge of leachate and, as such, the discharge of leachate and stormwater onto and
into land [where contaminants may enter water], and into water, fall for consideration
under Rules 44 and 43 [respectively] of the RFWP as discretionary activities.
