The Company holds water permit 10247-1 to cover the abstraction of groundwater incidental to quarry
operations and for aggregate washing purposes. This permit was issued by the Council to the previous site
operators (Inglewood Metal Ltd) on 1 December 2016 under Section 87(d) of the RMA. The permit was then
transferred to The Company on 6 April 2017.

Figure 1 Quarry operations,
of the production station and the wellsites were undertaken on the same day and were found to
be in full compliance with the consent conditions. The production stormwater system was noted to be
managing the stormwater well in light of heavy rain the night before. No hydrocarbon sheens were
observed on the skimmer pits, and there was no smoke or odour from the pilot flare. The well sites were
observed to be tidy and in good order. Stormwater discharges were well managed at the time and there
production or the main
pipeline could have major effects on the national economy.
5. Greater reliance on services and infrastructure within urban areas for the general
public.
6. Isolation and access to food for smaller towns within the region.
7. A disaster could have a major effect on the regional economy (particularly oil and
gas and agriculture), therefore planning for prompt recovery will be a priority.
8. Ash fall in an eruption of Mt Taranaki is highly likely to contaminate water
consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set
out in Section 14.
As Greymouth Petroleum Limited was unable to estimate the rate or volume of the
take, and as such, may exceed the limits of the permitted activity Rule [Rule 48 of the
RFWP], the take of groundwater fell for consideration under Rule 49 of the RFWP as
a controlled activity.
The standards of Rule 49 require that:
• The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10% lowering of

Taranaki’s lakes are likely to fall below the “national bottom line”, meaning
they are considered to be degraded and in poor health. Overall, 78% of lakes were
predicted to fail to achieve the bottom line for at least one attribute, with more than 50%
of lakes likely to fail the lake-bottom dissolved oxygen attribute. A predicted 72% failed
chlorophyll-a (a measurement of algae), while 54% failed for total phosphorus and 61%
for total nitrogen.
7. There are a number of further steps required to
excess of 5000 mm’s on the slopes of Mt Taranaki. Median annual rainfall is
shown in Figure 3 for the Taranaki region which shows the strong spatial variation.
Heavy rainfall is meteorologically defined to be “when greater than 100 mm of rain falls
within 24 hours, or a pro rata amount” (Thompson et al. 2006). The regions heaviest
rainfall occurs when warm moist northerly airflow flow from the tropics flows onto the
district. These conditions can persist when fronts lying
