categories set out in Section 14.
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.

by this monitoring report. Upstream, land use is pastoral and horticultural. Downstream, the Mangati flows

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.

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
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
of birdlife. It has been noted that
the South Taranaki ring plain contains a very sparse bird life, owing to the lack of
habitat (Fish and Game, 2006).
2.1.2 Hydrological values
Intact small streams and wetlands provide natural flood control, absorbing significant
amounts of rain water and runoff before saturation and consequent flooding occurs.
Natural stream channels tend to meander and provide a variety of substrate types
