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.
TTR holds water permit 7470-1.1 to cover the take and use of groundwater from a bore
for:
watering of racing tracks and general purposes at the TTR Club;
filling of water tanks for watering of New Plymouth District Council (NPDC)
owned gardens; and
other general purposes
domestic supply before being pumped to a
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
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
patch reefs on Pātea Bank. This new knowledge is put within the context of
existing knowledge of other subtidal reef systems within TRC’s management region (territorial sea).
This new knowledge helps fill in major fundamental gaps around coastal habitats and associated
ecological assemblages, which fall under TRCs management responsibilities.

change in the nature or scale of the effects of a discharge
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.
