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.

The programme includes three sites in Taranaki (Figure 1); one upper/mid catchment site (Manganui River at State Highway 3, incorporating some farm land area) and two lower catchment sites (Waitara River at Bertrand Road and Waingongoro River at State Highway 45). 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
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 national trends and, not surprisingly, water quality remains high at the upper/mid 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

offensive to Taranaki Iwi, the 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. 14. Based on the background, policies, values and potential effects set out in this submission, Taranaki Iwi oppose the scheme in principle but support the
