condition 8 of Consent 1113-5.1. From the Council’s perspective, the current flowmeter configuration
captures data for groundwater abstraction as both flowmeters record pumping of groundwater from the
main excavation pit to the settling ponds. The Company makes no distinction between groundwater take

Evaluating the effectiveness of the RCP was undertaken by first examining the outputs of the
plan (consents issued, consent monitoring, unauthorised incidents and non-regulatory methods
undertaken).
This found that the number of current coastal consents is relatively low (just over 250) and an
average of 24 consents per year have been issued, varied or renewed since the RCP was made
