were consolidated at a new shed on Kohiti Road from
which wastewater is transferred to the treatment system for the nearby rendering
operations. Consent 3117 now applies to a small shed used for sick cows on Katotauru
Road.
1.3.1 Water abstraction consent
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

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
Taranaki
Mt Taranaki together with Egmont National Park is the primary visitor asset in Taranaki.
Yet the connections to the Park are suffering from under investment. Uncertainty about who
is to take financial responsibility for roading operations and maintenance within the Park is
not helping. North Egmont, Stratford and Dawson Falls roadends are currently 100%
funded by the Crown through the New Zealand Transport Agency but this has been under
review for some time with no
responsibility to ensure non-work
related people, including children and visitors, do not come to
harm from the dip site. Accidental drowning has occurred at
a plunge dip and personal injury has been known to happen
from falls and trips around dips sites. Some dip sites are situated
in ‘amenity land’ - areas of public land or public access (e.g.
camping grounds) and owners and occupiers need to ensure
visitors and residents are not exposed to unnecessary risk.

Consideration of locality
17 The initial step is to consider the character of the
surrounding district which for this purpose will be
regarded as falling into one of the following
categories:
A a rural area, and no other comparable
industrial emissions within 1 kilometre of the
chimney under consideration;
B a partially developed area with scattered
houses, and no other comparable industrial
emissions within 1
104 matters.
The Taranaki Regional Council may consider any matter allowed under section 104,
including all effects on the environment. If the resource consent is granted, the Taranaki
Regional Council may set any conditions on the permit that fall within the Taranaki
Regional Council's powers under section 108 of the Act.
A non-complying activity is an activity (not being a prohibited activity) which is either
defined in the rule as a non-complying activity, or, contravenes a rule
no person may take, use, dam or divert any
water, unless the activity is expressly allowed for by resource consent or a rule in a
regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49
of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as the rate and daily volume of
the groundwater abstraction may have exceeded that of the permitted activity (Rule
48). Rule 49 provides for
areas – map reference sheets

The highest wave amplitudes were applied at mid-tide levels. The wave heights are
applied such that the 2 m wave rises 1 m above and falls 1 m below the normal tide,

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
