1.3 Resource consents
Water abstraction permit 1.3.1
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.
Aerobic oxidation ponds
was undertaken as NPDC had notified Council on 18 May 2021 that the Inglewood WWTP was
overflowing into the Kurapete Stream. A NPDC WWTP technician was on site taking discharge samples. The
discharge into the Kurapete Stream was estimated at 95 L/sec. The discharge consisted of mainly rain water,
with some partially treated wastewater. This was slightly turbid/cloudy and light greyish in colour. The
Kurapete Stream was running at a moderate swift flow and there was no significant visual

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.

Implementing much of the NPS-HPL will fall to territorial authorities through their
District Plans.
13. Set out below is a summary of the overall policy direction to be implemented by
Councils:
13.1. Restrict rezoning of highly productive land, but allowing tier 1 and 2 territorial
authorities to consider rezoning subject to requirements of the NPS-HPL.
13.2. Avoid rezoning of HPL for rural lifestyle and avoid subdivision generally of HPL,
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
falls
and flowpaths. This may include a permeability standard as
given in Condition 9 (TRC Officer’s report) for ponds.
d. Description and modelling of future wastewater quality to
demonstrate how nutrient and contaminant limits for
irrigation areas can be achieved. No characterisation of
future wastewater quality has been provided.

one inspection, a review of water
abstraction data and water level monitoring data, three water samples collected for physicochemical
analysis, two biomonitoring surveys of receiving waters and various stream gaugings.
The monitoring indicated that the operation of the sluicing of the weir has improved, with flows not falling
below 151L/s at any point in the 2023/24 year.
For reference, in the 2023/24 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
