1.3.2 Water abstraction permit (groundwater)
Section 14 of the Act stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any
water, unless the activity is expressly allowed for by resource consent or a rule in a
regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49
of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as the
freshwater quality is good
to excellent, with rivers falling within quality bands A to B as set
out in the NOF. The region’s small number of lakes largely fall
within the bands A to C.
Where the A to C grading is not achieved, the causes are
generally natural and thus exempt from national bottom line
requirements.
In many cases, the Taranaki Regional Council already monitors
waterway health more intensively than is required under the
NOF, and has a very detailed

“Certainly with the winter rains when the
erosion comes through – the big floods – the
