Rule 49 provides for groundwater abstraction as a controlled activity, subject to two
conditions:
• The abstraction shall cause not more than a 10% lowering of static water-level by
interference with any adjacent bore;
• The abstraction shall not cause the intrusion of saltwater into any fresh water aquifer.

1.1.4 Evaluation of environmental and administrative performance
Besides discussing the various details of the performance and extent of compliance by the Company, this
report also assigns them a rating for their environmental and administrative performance during the period

Using data collected in the NWQN since 1989, NIWA scientists have analysed trends
over time for a number of parameters at the Taranaki sites and have rated them
relative to other New Zealand rivers (McBride, 1996, TRC, 2003 and TRC, 2009).

Water quality has been relatively stable at the Waitara River site compared with

catchment Manganui River site. A deterioration in aspects of water quality has
occurred at the site in the lower reaches of the Waingongoro River over

proposed activities include discharges to rivers and the coastal marine area. These discharges
represent a continuation of the existing discharge regime, which are to be considered to be
adequately performing with a rating of “good”. This is not sufficient in Taranaki Iwi’s view.
