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 rate and daily volume of
the groundwater abstraction might exceeded that of the permitted activity (Rule 48).
Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject
low flow conditions during the
monitoring period (at which time the Manaia system had been upgraded with the addition of
two wetlands, the Kaponga pond subsurface discharge rate was very low and receiving water
dilution very high, and the Patea upgraded ponds system discharged continuously), or on
other occasions when monitoring of impacts was required by specific consent conditions. This
monitoring continued the increased frequency of bacteriological receiving water surveys in the

and considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the

and a administrative performance for
their two facilities located on the Waitara and Pennington Roads, while environmentally,
improvement is required at RNZ’s Mokau Road facility at Uruti, though there administration
was rated as good.

tailored compliance monitoring programmes achieved a high level of environmental
performance and compliance with their consents, while another 24% demonstrated a good
of environmental and administrative performance
