2.2.1 Water abstraction permits
Section 14 of the Resource Management Act 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.
Origin Energy holds water permit 5749-1 to take water from the Manawapou River
for hydrostatic testing of pipelines and crude oil tanks. This permit was issued by the
stream gaugings.
The monitoring indicated that the operation of the sluicing of the weir has improved, with flows not falling
below 151 L/s. There was one unauthorised incident recording non-compliance in respect to the water take
consent between 30 July and 5 August 2022. Due to a lightning strike which destroyed the scheme’s
electronics, OWSL were required to take water in manual operation mode, which resulted in a breach of
abstraction rate until OWSL could fine-tune the process. The

vast majority of pasture irrigation in Taranaki does take place within Zones 2, 3, 4 and 5, which represents a
10 km wide belt of coastal land stretching from Oakura to Waitotara.
1.1.7 Irrigation systems
In general there are two types of irrigation methods; surface and pressurised. The majority of irrigation
systems currently in operation in the region fall in to the pressurised category. Pressurised systems can be
further differentiated based on the method of

For ammonia, all 10 monitoring sites fall within bands A and B; above the national bottom line. At these
sites, ammonia is likely to have little to no effect on all but the most sensitive species.

heke (migratory eel) was caught from the Lagoon further inland which was also named Tapuarau and set
upon these racks for drying. During the wet season the rains would flush out the Tapuarau Lagoon and the
Tuna-heke would run out of the lagoon, across land, through Hauriri and eventually out at Tapuarau at the
water’s edge. Paatiki (flounder) and Puupuu (sea snail) were abundant.

explains, in brief, how to find out whether or not an activity is
regulated by the plan, and if so, the steps to be taken in applying for a coastal permit.
Step One: Find out where the activity is located. Section 4.2 of the plan contains planning maps
which divide the coastal marine area into four types of management areas. Use the
maps to find out which type of area the activity falls in.
Step Two: Break the activity down into parts. Does the activity involve:
(a) (i) a discharge
