of beach (at low tide only), any waters emerging from the cliff would be swiftly mixed and dispersed. Any effects on groundwater quality or coastal water quality would be negligible. In general the creation of stable interlocked layers of green waste ensures that it does not fall off or get blown off the cliffs and down onto the coastal marine area or into the sea. The effect of the sand movement from the lack of dune systems has seen the degradation in the land available for farming on

2028 2.2.1 Water abstraction permit 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. Silver Fern Farms held two consents for the abstraction and use of water during the 2012-2014 review period. Water permit 1091-3 had expired and was replaced with water permit 1091-4.
which water levels rise and fall rapidly in response to rainfall. The unit has both shallow unconfined low-yielding aquifers and confined higher yielding aquifers at depth. The unit includes New Plymouth and other urban areas and most of the land use (outside the Egmont National Park) is predominately intensive pastoral farming. The use of surface water supports a wide range of consumptive activities including agriculture, industry, community water supplies, and hydro-electric power
that works needed to be undertaken to ensure best practice is maintained. This included ensuring that chemicals are covered with tarpaulins, especially when rain is expected, and ensuring that chemicals are stored in a bund if access to another storage area is not immediately available. Also discussed was the bund itself and the requirement that it must capture and contain stormwater to ensure that spilled chemicals cannot escape the bund and flow to the ring drain, skimmer pit and ultimately

minimal flaring occurring and the flare was clean burning with no smoke or odours noted. 4 December 2020 An inspection carried out following period of heavy rain and strong winds. A lot of tree debris was noted around the site and the stormwater drains were being cleared at the time of inspection. Frogs were noted within the interceptor system. In general the site was tidy and no staining was noted. Gas was being flared at a rate and quantity which controlled smoke and odour. 4 March
working satisfactory. Effluent sumps were checked twice daily by the piggery staff. Gernhoefer contracting had just finished desludging the first pond and spray irrigated effluent to the flatter paddocks above the ponds. The desludged pond was displaying massive microbial actively (boil ups) at the time of inspection due to the volume of digested sludge removed. Only a slight discharge was occurring from the final aerobic pond and the Tawhiti Stream level was high due to recent rain throughout
