proposed changes would raise or lower the crossing safety level when compared to the exiting scenario. This will include an
updated ALCAM ‘proposal’ that factors in the current AADT volumes of all applicable users.

accumulations of lahar, debris avalanche and air fall
deposits from the volcanic centres, interbedded with river and swamp deposits.
Coherent lava bodies occur in close proximity to the volcanic centres but are not
represented in the volcanic deposits beyond the Egmont National Park boundary.
As a whole, the volcanics are complex in architecture and contain a range of aquifer
types includeding unconfined, semi-confined, confined and perched aquifers.
Aquifers are typically anisotropic and ash
radioactive materials.
Users of radioactive material are required to obtain a licence (see
http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1965/0023/latest/DLM373117.html), and
importers/exporters are required to obtain a consent (see
http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1965/0023/latest/DLM373115.html). These requirements
can however be exempted if the material falls below certain thresholds. The criteria
for exemption are set out in the Radiation Protection Regulations (see

nearby reservoir. The water supply is reticulated to approximately 2,300 separate
customers.
The water filters are backwashed at least once a day using treated water. These
backwashes are discharged into a large settling pond that was previously a reservoir
for the water supply prior to treatment. The outlet from the pond is an inverted pipe
located at the opposite end of the pond from the inlet. The discharge from the pond
emerges from a pipe to fall

from an intensive poultry farm, a discharge will not meet the condition in Rule
52, and it must therefore fall to be considered as a discretionary activity. In this
regard, it is important to note that this is in the context of applying for a new
consent. The plan provisions accordingly enable full and unrestricted
consideration of all relevant matters for any new consents where there is a
proposed change.

Water abstraction permits
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any water, unless the activity is
expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council
under Section 87(d) of the RMA.
Water discharge permits
Section 15(1)(a) of the RMA stipulates that no person may discharge any
detail in Section A1. In addition, flood events in the
Waiwhakaiho River display a ‘flashy’ nature, with flows rising and falling rapidly, discussed further in
Section 3.2.
The Waiwhakaiho River is an incised wandering, mixed bed river characterised by bed and bank
material comprised of large boulders, cobbles, coarse gravels and fine sediment. The true left bank
near the intake structure is bedrock (conglomerate), and on the true right, there are erodible banks
of cobbles held in a loose
sedimentary rock is softer than the laharic material of the ring plain coast.
There are a number of small estuaries at the mouths of Taranaki’s larger rivers. These
estuaries are well flushed, with little diversity in the way of intertidal and subtidal habitats.
Sedimentation has a major influence on the region’s estuaries, the factors behind which
include rain fall and modified land use. The large number of rivers and the erosion of
Mount Taranaki generally bring a lot of sediment to
